Movement Source has had the privilege of collaborating with many amazing and talented dancers, choreographers, musicians and artists over the years. We have also had the opportunity to perform in many fabulous venues and as guest performers across Arizona and the United States. We value these experiences and the relationships we’ve created along the way. If you note a name or collaborator we have missed - please let us know so we can add it!
