What is the Movers & Shakers Dance Company (MSDC)?

The Movers & Shakers Dance Company is a select group of dedicated Danceworks dancers who have a deep passion for dance, are motivated to work hard, and are committed to leadership and teamwork. If your dancer is eager for more time in the studio and loves new performance opportunities, this program is the perfect fit! MSDC members enjoy strong connections with fellow dancers through community service, performances, rehearsals, and fun activities beyond their weekly dance classes.

What does MSDC do beyond class?

Movers & Shakers perform at notable community events like the Waxahachie Christmas Parade, the annual Danceworks Nutcracker Tea, the Dancing With The Ellis County Stars performance (benefiting the Texas Baptist Home for Children), and our annual Spring recital. Company dancers also participate in the Motion Composers Intensive, where they train with master instructors from across the DFW area to sharpen their skills and deepen their love for dance. Additional performance opportunities may be added throughout the year.

Who are MSDC members?

Company members serve as positive representatives of Danceworks in all performances and public events, embodying the values of teamwork and leadership while working toward shared rehearsal and performance goals. Movers & Shakers is a program that builds dancers' skills on the outside and inspires leaders on the inside.
