Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre/Notes In Motion

Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre/Notes in Motion creates original dance theatre performances, presents dance education programs in NYC public schools, and community arts-in-education programs. Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre creates original and dynamic dance theatre that raises questions and magnifies humanity through dance. Productions pivot around core themes and through an interplay between athletic and pedestrian motion, activate emotional expression, character, and narrative in a rich and abstract collage. Presenting dance in an immediate, mature, and inclusive way, we engage audiences from start to finish and beckon a response of thought, feeling and soul. Notes in Motion Outreach Dance Theatre a vendor of NYC Department of Education, offers a wide array of dance residency, professional development, interactive performance, and after-school programs that teach modern/creative dance, ballet, jazz, tap, African, hip hop, ballroom, yoga, and more to PreK-12th grades.
