Chicago Moving Company

The Chicago Moving Company is an award-winning modern dance company celebrated nationwide for its concert work and groundbreaking educational programs-"this is modern dance at its highest stage of development" (Chicago Sun-Times).  CMC is especially known for its in-school residencies:  innovative programs, tailored to each school that reach, involve and educate the whole child (body, mind and spirit).  We provide professional, caring instruction:  dance as a fine art, dance integrated with curriculum, the popular performance project (an inspiring student-created performance that can involve specific grades/groups or the entire school community), and more.  Our success stems from our wide experience and knowledge, love for what we do, and commitment to developing successful partnerships with school communities.  

In honor of its superlative educational work, CMC has received Illinois Alliance for Arts Education Service Awards, the Katherine Dunham Award for Excellence and Dedication to the Arts, the Boulevard Arts Center's President's Award, and one of eight nationally-awarded Arts-Plus grants from the National Endowment for the Arts.  CMC has conducted dozens of successful residencies throughout Chicago-most recently at Nettelhorst School and the National Teacher's Academy.  CMC Director, Nana Shineflug, is a master-teacher and senior Arts faculty member at Columbia College Chicago.  "The Chicago Moving Company certainly can move, sturdily, commandingly . . . the energy is awesome" (The New York Times).  www.chicagomovingcompany.org.
