OPEN ACCESS was my introduction MOVE|NYC|. I was immediately struck by Nigel and Chanel’s commitment to the rigorous training offered at this life changing program. I remember an incredible change in how I approached the creative process, my improvisation, and being a part of a community. MOVE was an instant family dedicated to excellence. Now, as a freshman at The Juilliard School, I am consistently referencing the tools that I learned at MOVE|NYC|.

OPEN ACCESS was my first introduction to a professional space tailored specifically for young creatives. I was entrusted to actively contribute to an artistic process in studios filled with highly skilled and passionate dancers. I learned what it means to take on responsibility and pride for a project where I have given my fullest self. Now at Princeton University, I owe so much to this extraordinary program and the indelible mark it has made on my journey.

MOVE|NYC|’s OPEN ACCESS Intensive  pushed me past my perceived limits and taught me not only to be confident in myself, but in my technique as well. I learned how to be an asset in the space and always keep an open mind. Since the OPEN ACCESS Intensive, I am constantly applying myself and remaining comfortable with the uncomfortable. I am so glad to have experienced this wonderful program and I will forever be grateful.

Taking part in OPEN ACCESS with MOVE|NYC| was a great experience that allowed me to explore my artistry and creativity. During this one week process of hard work and dedication, I was able to become a blank canvas and soak in all of the new information that would help me grow as an artist. I will forever be grateful for this opportunity and where it has led me to become a MOVE|NYC| Young Professional today.
