Meet the Organizers
The Dance Complex enables the creation, study, and performance of dance. We sustain artists, audiences, and the community through programs that connect movement and ideas. We celebrate the wonder and curiosity of dance for all.
The Dance Complex is for all who want to dance or move; who need space to express or explore through movement. We offer classes, performances and professional development in a safe inclusive environment – unlike those with barriers to entry because we believe in catalyzing movement as both art and as a tool for life.

Monkeyhouse is an award winning nonprofit organization based out of Malden, MA that is dedicated to connecting communities to choreography. We are interested in finding ways that choreography impacts everyone and the ways that we all move with meaning every day.
