Orphanage Movement isn’t a crew, it’s a legacy.
About us
Orphanage Movement originated as a dance crew with the desire to bring Hip-Hop artists together. We have grown into a community of artists through creative partnerships, and a shared passion for dance. Our members come from various backgrounds, regions, and training styles.
Orphanage Movement was founded in 1999, and became a unity of crews and individuals alike. It has become a space for dancers to grow in their practice through exploration of various arts and styles.
While the membership of Orphanage Movement is constantly evolving, the mission remains the same: to support the growth of artists through inclusion and guidance. What started as a crew has become a multi-generational community, a movement, and a legacy.
