For more than 10 years, EMDOD has continually found ways to support one another and the community through Dancing Beyond, using the medium of dance to help affected lives in the most adverse circumstances.
Every company, school, and artist involved in these performances donate their time and effort in the fight for a cancer-free world. EMDOD's Dancing Beyond is a fantastic way to share dance, passion, and spirit throughout the holidays while exploring movement with some of New York's finest choreographers! The showcase not only allows dancers to work side-by-side, building long-lasting relationships, but it also gives participants a chance to perform the work for a heartfelt cause. In Dancing Beyond's legacy, we've had the honor to donate over $35,000, specifically fundraised for The American Cancer Society, hosted schools and companies such as The Limón Dance Company, The Juilliard School, SUNY Purchase, NYU TISCH, LaGuardia High School, the National Dance Institute, and Kanyok Arts Initiative, and premiered new creations by Sidra Bell, Clifton Brown, Darrell Grand Moultrie, Fredrick Earl Mosley, Jie-Hung Connie Shiau, and more!
Through ticket sales and donations, EMDOD's Dancing Beyond fuels a significant contribution to the Dance Against Cancer Fund and The American Cancer Society, joining in our communal step towards a cancer-free world.
"Dancing Beyond has been an incendiary spark plug for Dance Against Cancer's creative collaborations, audience growth, and the work that DAC does to support the American Cancer Society. Earl Mosley and his brilliant team has inspired so many artists from different professional companies and pre-professional schools to donate their time and talent to this cause. He is a constant source of inspiration for both Daniel and myself and we could not be more grateful to be bringing Dancing Beyond back this year [2022]."
