Discover Where Movement Meets Meaning

Founded in 2014 by Jenny Oliver, Modern Connections is a multi-faceted organization that works at the intersection of where movement meets meaning. We look forward to engaging with you through the four pillars of Modern Connections: Classes, Partnerships, Performances, and Workshops. We invite you to learn more about our work and upcoming events below.

  • Classes

    Classes are the heart of Modern Connections. Join our community by taking one - or more - of our weekly Horton-based Modern classes in Cambridge and Somerville.

  • Performances

    Modern Connections performances feature thought-provoking pieces that explore the sociopolitical realities of race, equality, inclusion, and hierarchy.

  • Partnerships

    Beyond the classroom and the stage, Modern Connections explored the transformative and liberating possibilities of dance through community partnerships.

  • Workshops

    Using methods of creative placemaking, Modern Connections develops movement-based experiences that facilitate the embodiment of information and ideas.
