PLAY MOTION LAB

The mission of Play Motion Lab began in an effort to provide affordable classes and workshops as the cost of open classes, workshops, and training for dancers continues to rise unsustainably. 

It has now expanded as a groundswell and niche space to build community amongst professional dancers actively working in New York.

To date we have served over 200+ dancers and held workshops across New York, San Francisco, Peru, and Hawaii.

PLAY

A space to play openly with ideas, concepts, movement. Freely without judgment. 

MOTION

The basis of our world is movement and motion.

LAB

An open lab for research, work, experimentation, and exploration.
