infinite Movement Ever Evolving Website 
 

Three dynamic professional dance companies are brought together for an evening of dance, presenting works ranging in style from hip hop to contemporary. Commissioned this season are infinite Movement Ever Evolving, Chapman Dance and Wyld Styl.  These innovative companies will premier one new work and one piece from their repertoire.
 
Amid numerous, easily accessible entertainment choices, infinite Movement Ever Evolving (iMEE) aspires to motivate community members to choose to experience the art of dance. By presenting dance that focuses on excellence while challenging and stimulating the intellect, iMEE strives to attract and excite audiences. Their vision is to present a dance form aimed at evoking emotional thought processes harmonious with the mind, heart, and soul. 
  
Full-bodied and athletic, Chapman Dance’s choreography highlights the strength and vulnerability of the female physique. In choreographer Teresa Chapman’s latest work currently titled Rusalki, Chapman calls upon the haunting sounds of Kitka to provide an otherworldly atmosphere for an “uber-physical” celebration of the feminine spirit.  Reach explores the physical and emotional need to connect with another person.   
 
Wyld Styl is a hip hop crew based out of Soundbox Studios. The company has a deep history rooted in the Houston Dance scene and have received recognitions and awards from competitions as well as the hip hop dance community.
