Monsters of HipHop Launch Monsters On The Move Foundation for Financially Challenged Dancers

Choreographer Jacquel Knight

Monsters of HipHop, who hold Hip Hop Dance Conventions among other projects, have created the nonprofit Monsters On The Move Foundation. In a recent announcement they stated that the Foundation would "provide aspiring, underprivileged dancers the financial support necessary to pursue a quality dance education and fulfill their artistic goals."

Scholarship recipients would then be asked to "Pay It Forward" by giving back to their community.

Monsters On The Move has the support of professional dancers involved with Monsters of HipHop such as choreographer Jacquel Knight, who stated:

"I am extremely excited for the launch of MOVE! I was that kid that had a huge passion and love for dance and wanted to take classes, but just could not afford it. MOVE will give those dancers, who also have that passion for dance but aren't so financially fit, the opportunity to expand their knowledge in the field and be inspired beyond one's imagination."

In a similar vein, dancer Dannie Boston shared:

"It saddens me that so much money is being taken out of arts programs in public schools nationwide. MOVE is such a necessity to the arts community as a whole. I look forward to seeing numerous dancers provided the opportunity to further cultivate their craft! MOVE Foundation rocks!"
