Blue Moves Modern Dance Company

About Me

Blue Moves Modern Dance Company is a troupe of close-knit performers who sincerely enjoy dancing, making art and each other. Through the art form they love, the dancers strive to entertain as well as to stir and inform audiences, exploring themes as varied as dancing laundry to the loss of humanity in the modern world. The company is structured as a collective, with all dancers contributing to the company's direction and artistic vision. Since its inception in 1989, core members have grown to appreciate the company's diverse dynamic and have learned to wrangle it into something vibrant or controversial, eye-opening or simply beautiful. Blue Moves explores a wide range of performance options, from professional dance productions in traditional venues to improvisational vaudeville in bars with art rock band Juan Prophet Organization. The company is known for its diverse, sometimes quirky and often theatrical choreography.
