Liberated Movement

Specialties

Liberated Movement® is a non-​profit organization that provides donation-​based dance instruction classes to the public, in an effort to make dance more accessible, both financially and socially, to everyone.

We have a suggested donation of $ 10 per class, but any amount is welcome. We operate exclusively off of the donations people give in class and via our website.

Our classes are open to both experienced dancers and beginners. We especially want to offer a supportive, welcoming environment, where anyone can gain a basic knowledge of different dance styles without having to spend extensive amounts of money or make serious commitments. Teachers conduct classes to address the varying levels of students, catering to anyone who may attend a class.

You do not have to pre-​register for classes. Just show up!

History

Established in 2010.

Liberated Movement® held its first class in March 2010, and since then has expanded to include an ever-​evolving array of teachers and classes. We are so thankful to all those who participate and support us, and we are especially grateful to Battery Dance Company, who graciously gave us a home in Downtown Manhattan.
