Giving everyone a chance to dance

Dance Programs | Workshops | Arts Collaboration

Welcome to On the MOVE! My name is Dana and I am passionate about bringing dance to every space. Therefore On the MOVE Summer Dance Program is a prime example of that passion being put to good use. The goal of On the MOVE is to reach people of all ages and abilities through innovative and collaborative events.

About Dana

Dana Butler is a certified Dance educator in New Jersey, who has been dancing most of her life. After earning a Bachelor’s degree in business administration with minors in dance and Spanish, she went on to earn a Master’s degree in Dance Education from NYU. During her time there and in the years since she has been blessed to perform globally with people of all ages and skillsets.

As a teacher, Dana regularly encounters students who are not sure how they will fare with dance. Her greatest joy is being instrumental in allowing that uncertainty to melt away as those students cultivate an appreciation for movement as an expressive art form, some even taking the stage in performance!

She started On the Move as a result of wanting to bring dance to the community in a new and engaging format. Aware of dance’s power to bring people together, she is determined to harness this gift and never let that go to waste.
