Urbanity Dance is a nonprofit organization that exists to bring people together and inspire them with the power of dance and movement. Founded by Director Betsi Graves in 2011, the organization has three main goals: to make sure contemporary dance is part of Boston’s cultural landscape, to provide affordable and accessible dance training, and to use dance as a way to promote creativity and self-expression.
Urbanity Dance is driven by three pillars of Company, School, and Community. Through these pillars, Urbanity Dance creates a space for connection, investment, and synergy. By creating a powerful community platform, they make sure that everyone has a chance to take part in the joy of dance.

Summer Movers (held in Blackstone Square Park!) is a chance for our youngest dancers and their caretakers to move, groove, wiggle and bounce in the fresh air! This is a family-friendly, high energy class using Urbanity's signature approach to creative movement. We blend a wide range of dance techniques with music, imagination, and exploration to help students practice motor skills, bond physically with their caretakers, and build strength, coordination, and balance.
