the moving space is an imaginary studio in Erie, PA where classes are offered in diverse movement disciplines. It is currently located in the minds and hearts of those who long for a safe environment in which to be healthy and happy. (We're still lookin'.)

For the beginning mover, classes are offered in the chromatic dance curriculum - a unique program of study designed to prepare the student for further studies in extended movement techniques. An awareness of self, space, time, and the development of movement aesthteic are emphasized in classes.
Classes in Yoga, Modern Dance, Ballet and Improvisational Studies will be offered to students of all ages - from the beginner to the advanced mover.

Placement within technique classes is ultimately the instructor's decision. Intermediate and Advanced level classes will be conducted accordingly.
Performance opportunities will be made available to students who are ready to perform in the form of Ensemble classes. Ensemble classes will be conducted as 15 week sessions when student and choreographer can meet to create pieces for performance.
Participation in Ensemble classes will require contractual agreements be signed - between student and choreographer - with all relevant information taken into consideration before participation. Beginning students can anticipate to participate in classes at the moving space for at least one to two sessions before performance opportunities are presented.
