Mission:

Project Moshen (ProMo) is a female-based performing arts organization dedicated to advocating for women through the art of dance and meaningful community outreach. Through powerful live performances, ProMo highlights important women’s issues including empowerment, equality, and mental health.

ProMo collaborates with nonprofit organizations to support vital causes such as ovarian cancer awareness, while also partnering with youth organizations to provide educational opportunities for girls and women through dance classes and community initiatives. Committed to growth and impact, Project Moshen continually seeks new ways to expand its presence, inspire women, advance female-centered movements, and keep the performing arts alive through dance.

History of Project Moshen:

Founded in 2010, Project Moshen Dance Company entertains audiences of all ages & backgrounds with contemporary shows that intrigue, excite & captivate the recreational dance viewer, along with the seasoned dancer. Founder & Philadelphia native Kelli Moshen (B.F.A. University of the Arts) uses her athletic, industry influenced, intricate, & up-tempo choreography to keep the audience on the edge of its seat at all times. Project Moshen wants to give its audience a unique experience while creating conversations around the message of women empowerment along with relevant topics, issues & events.

Project Moshen Dance Company also works to give back and remain a pillar in the Philadelphia dance community by, regularly hosting professional dance classes and teaching at local studios, universities (such as Drexel, Villanova University & West Chester University), and all over the Philadelphia region. Project Moshen also provides a summer education program, CAMPS IN MOSHEN, where company dancers travel to teach dancers at overnight camps.

Project Moshen produces four shows a year, including its community based artist showcase, Artistry Unfolded, along with its annual ovarian cancer benefit event, EXCERPTS.
