Meet the Organizers

Monkeyhouse is an award winning nonprofit organization based out of Malden 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.

​NACHMO (National Choreography Month) is your yearly kick in the pants to create new work! NACHMO Boston is co-hosted by Alive Dance Collective and Monkeyhouse and strives to grow connections in our dance communities and offer both budding and established choreographers a chance to create and present. Participants take on the challenge of creating a new work during January (National Choreography Month), supported by choreographic prompts, mentoring sessions, and connections to the dance community.

 

Special Thanks

The Malden Dance Mile originated as a collaboration between Monkeyhouse and OnStage Dance Company.
​We are forever grateful for Jennifer Kuhnberg and the OnStage Dance Company community.
We are thrilled to share the work of OnStage Dance Company choreographer, Amy Foley, in this year’s event!
A huge thank you to Kevin Duffy, the Mayor’s Office, and the City of Malden for helping us get the Malden Dance Mile on its feet this year and every year!
​We are so lucky to be part of this community!
