A MOVEMENT THROUGH
MOVEMENT.

Welcome

Hello and welcome!

I’m Megan L. Gargano, co-founder and artistic director of The Movement Project. I’m so glad you’re here.

I invite you to explore our website and learn more about our company, Cleveland Dance Fest, and The Dance Hub, each a vital part of our work to grow and strengthen the dance community across Northeast Ohio.

A Movement through Movement reflects our belief that dance is not just something we do, but the way we build community, foster creativity, and move our region forward together.

At our core, we believe dancers should not simply be surviving, they should be thriving. We’re committed to nurturing a healthy, sustainable dance ecosystem in Northeast Ohio by creating spaces to train, rehearse, perform, and gather. Through this work, we’re supporting artists with consistent paid opportunities, helping to attract and retain a vibrant dance workforce, and building audiences that reflect the heart and diversity of our communities.

Thank you for visiting. I hope you’ll explore, connect, and join us in continuing the movement through movement.
