Every Body Move
Our community engagement platform EVERY BODY MOVE (EBM) works to inspire and incite ambitious collective action fueled by the art of social dance.
Built on our belief that social dance works as a powerful tool for social change, EBM brings the artistic rigor of Camille A. Brown & Dancers’ beyond the stage and into communities. EBM works to cultivate the creative capacity of its participants through innovative workshops, summer intensives, artistic encounters, educational experiences, public actions, and celebrations for people of diverse abilities, identities, and ages.

EBM Celebration
EVERY BODY MOVE celebrates the power of creative citizenship. We see you, building thriving and interdependent spaces and communities. We see you, making art, volunteering, organizing, teaching, or growing food in neighborhood gardens. We know that EVERYBODY has a role to play in sustaining cultural vitality and creative action in our communities. We are celebrating how communities use their creative capacity to build the world they want to see. A world that honors EVERY BODY. We celebrate the myriad ways communities resist through brilliant, bold, and brazen practices of resilience. Join us for music, art-making, dance, poetry, and community-building. The time is now! EVERY BODY MOVE!!!
