Experience

Park in Motion is a family-friendly outdoor dance performance series by MillO Dance Projects. Through live performances and interactive activities, Park in Motion celebrates diversity and fosters a vibrant, inclusive space where community members can come together and connect.

Seating is general admission and takes place outdoors. You are welcome to choose a spot that feels most comfortable to you. A limited number of chairs and blankets will be available on site for your use. You can also bring your own blanket, lawn chair, or simply sit, stand, or move around as you wish.

This is a relaxed performance, meaning audiences are encouraged to experience the event in whatever way feels right. You’re welcome to move, make noise, come and go, or take breaks as needed. There will be no sudden loud sounds or strobe lighting.

The event features two 15-minute contemporary dance works:
