Moving Spirits, Inc.

Tamara LaDonna Moving Spirits, Inc. is a modern dance organization, founded in March of 2011 in Brooklyn, NY. The African Diaspora heavily influences our company's repertory. Our work blends modern, ballet, African Diaspora dance forms, capoeira and contemporary West African dances. We believe that the creative arts should be used as a vehicle to bring awareness to social justice issues and obstacles impacting our communities. Moving Spirits' artists dedicate themselves to evolving social change through dance performances and community engagement.
