CPR Dance: Inhale Movement

CPR Dance: Inhale Movement is the premiere professional contemporary dance company of Southwest Michigan founded in 2022. We value bringing community access to professional dance, while sharing collaborative and engaging opportunities to connect, view, and participate in movement. We propose movement as fundamental to existence as breath. Breathing life, moving life, with attendance towards one another.

Through realizing interests in collaborative care, we believe it is possible to permeate into performance, choreographic, and teaching artistries. A way to further succinctly identify and communicate the values of wandering through intangible movement, lost and found, with well-being and care as a fulcrum that doesn’t shy away from but presses into reflective evaluative works.
