Help MoveMakers and UMA reach underserved youth in Philadelphia
This is our second holiday season fundraiser. I AM THE MOVE has been quite busy since its start in the Spring of 2021, which started our summer camp scholarship program. In November of 2021, the holiday season fundraiser was aimed at raising money to bring our programs to Philadelphia Schools for the first time. You helped us to raise $13,000, which allowed us to offer weekly classes in 4 Philadelphia public schools, assemblies and special events during the school year. This holiday season let's continue to level up. Let's raise $20,000 to support sending our instructors to Philadelphia Public schools for weekly classes, performance, mentoring and more. If you are looking for good causes for the holidays and perhaps you'd also benefit from making tax-deductible contributions before filing for 2022, bring I AM THE MOVE to the top of your list! |

UMA’s line up of classes are primarily based in contemporary Black American folkloric dance, African folkloric dance, Latin American dance and contemporary somatic and movement culture practices. Some of you might be wondering what Black American folkloric dance is. Anything from Lindy Hop to Hip Hop to Breakdance are American folklore and were born in U.S.’s Black communities. UMA is a proud ambassador of many dance forms that fall into the category of Black American Folklore.
UMA invites you to explore the many benefits that come from a dance practice with us. We are a space where you can de-stress, make friends and grow- all the while, celebrating and commemorating the communities and cultures that have laid the foundations for the mediums that we express ourselves within. We believe everyone is meant to dance. All bodies, all ages, all genders, all racial identities, all experience levels. We welcome you to explore our many offerings. And never hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns. We are here to support you in your dance journey. |
