NACHMO (National Choreography Month) seeks to build a connected, active, and inclusive community of dance makers across the world. 

​We aim to make the creative process more accessible to choreographers of all backgrounds, means, and locations. We build this community by challenging choreographers, dancers, and movement enthusiasts to create new dance works. 

We are your choreographic kick in the pants.
