Our Story

Movement Lifestyle is a lifestyle brand which provides various components including choreography management, merchandise, studio, film/production, and now creating a dance tour.  We are a Los Angeles based company that has expanded beyond our office into a premier dance studio.  We not only provide a place for artists to create and learn, but also a place for them to network and provide support for them in their development as an artists. 

 mL has touched dancers all across the world.  Our choreographers have taught workshops to thousands of dancers in every major continent.  Many of our artists began dancing as a positive outlet growing up.  Through dance, they cultivated their own friends, communities, and artistic ventures.  Within the past few years, dance has propelled itself into the limelight of main stream culture.  Combined with the powers of social media, we have become a network of teachers that are influencing our up and coming youth generation.

The mL studio has unfolded to be a new and thriving studio in Los Angeles. During the summer time, students from all over the world fill our classes.  In addition, dancers/instructors all across the country are continually asking our choreographers to come teach at their studios.  However, the costs of hosting conventions, domestically or international, is financially accessible for only a few event organizers.  This is why our artists videos have over 4 million YouTube views. The students have the drive to learn, but lack the financial means to access our teachers. TheTour is our opportunity to bring the Movement Lifestyle experience to these dancers.  If we are able to bring this tour domestically and internationally, each event will generate enough funding to produce the following effect.  Each tour event is designed to be a weekend full of dance classes and sessions to educate our students on the ways to utilize dance to propel them further in their careers. In addition, students are rewarded with scholarships for outstanding attitude and effort.  We believe that allowing ourselves to be a prototype for them to follow at these conventions, will give them the tools they need to help establish, and/or continue to build upon, a great foundation to be successful. 

With our IndieGogo funding we will be able to help generate the costs we need to fund our tour. Our goals are simple, but our visions and work are constantly evolving.  We want to incorporate dancers, studios, and other communities that are beyond our immediate network.  The support and development of our artists has helped to inspire so many other artists, not just limited to dance.  We hope that you will believe in us and help support our vision!
