The Story of Project Moshen Dance Company...
Mission:

History of Project Moshen:
Founded in 2010, Project Moshen Dance Company entertains audiences of all ages & backgrounds with contemporary shows that intrigue, excite & captivate the recreational dance viewer, along with the seasoned dancer. Founder & Philadelphia native Kelli Moshen (B.F.A. University of the Arts) uses her athletic, industry influenced, intricate, & up-tempo choreography to keep the audience on the edge of its seat at all times. Project Moshen wants to give its audience a unique experience while creating conversations around the message of women empowerment along with relevant topics, issues & events.
Project Moshen Dance Company also works to give back and remain a pillar in the Philadelphia dance community by, regularly hosting professional dance classes and teaching at local studios, universities (such as Drexel, Villanova University & West Chester University), and all over the Philadelphia region. Project Moshen also provides a summer education program, CAMPS IN MOSHEN, where company dancers travel to teach dancers at overnight camps.
Project Moshen produces four shows a year, including its community based artist showcase, Artistry Unfolded, along with its annual ovarian cancer benefit event, EXCERPTS.
