Music & Motion Dance is one of the few companies offering teens a chance to have professional performance experience unlike any other. This is not a dance school, there are no competitions, there are no fees, just a unique opportunity to dance, create and be part of a very tight knit cast that has come together out of friendship and a pure love of dance.

Music & Motion Dance is currently seeking dancers for its 2008-2009 season. Open auditions will be held on Sunday, March 16th & 30th at 1:30 PM in Harleysville, PA. Dancers should be between the ages of 15 to 22 years and have at least 2 years of formal training. All dance styles are accepted. There is no charge to audition but pre-registration is required by going to www.music-and-motion.com and clicking on auditions.

Music & Motion Dance, a 501 c 3 non-profit, is unique in that it is purely a performance based company and not a dance school or studio. There are no costs to its dancers, not even for costumes. The company is completely underwritten through corporate funding and grants. In addition to performing, company members are responsible for program development, choreography and general operations. All aspects of this dance company are done through a group effort.

Music & Motion Dance's mission is to empower young people through the performing arts to build self-esteem and inspire creative self-expression and community action. Music & Motion performs locally and in surrounding communities throughout the year, as well as conducting performances in a fully professional atmosphere for corporations, retailers and live arts related venues.

 Music & Motion fulfills the need of providing young dancers with performing experience in a nurturing environment, while continually exciting audiences wherever they appear.

To register for an audition on Sunday, March 16th at 1:30 pm or Sunday, March 30th at 1:30 pm, or for more information, go to www.music-and-motion.com

Founded in 2000, under the artistic direction of Steven Weisz, Music & Motion is a fresh, innovative, performance-oriented, youth dance company. Rather than relying on a single dance style or technique, Music & Motion has developed its own unique movement for each new dance work created. The variety of ecletic styles incorporated into its programs include ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, modern, funk, hip hop and acrobatic styles.

Music & Motion Dance has performed throughout the tri-state area and even internationally to a range of audiences in its short yet diverse history. With a deep commitment to group collaboration and exposing new audiences to dance and the performing arts, the company has won both critical acclaim as well as many new fans.

Music & Motion Dance continues to reach a wide range of audiences each year with mesmeric dances and unique performance concepts. The body of work created by this group, all of which has been created and choreographed by the entire cast, is as diverse as its members.

Commissioned dances by the company have included Primal for the Philadelphia Zoo and Futura for the Franklin Institute. The group now in its fifth year as a participant in the Philly Fringe and Live Arts Festival was one of the first youth based companies to be incorporated, presenting Illuminescence in 2004, Elements in 2005, To A Different Beat in 2006, Red in 2007 and Continents for 2008.

This collaborative effort of this group is rich in synergy, imagination, celebration and spirit. Audiences have responded with enthusiasm, finding themselves caught up in a world of exhilarating rhythm, movement and music created by this multi-talented group.
