Choreography: Vicki Brown-Favazza
My dance background was not only the start of my directing and production career, but also helped make my directing style natural and fluid. I've been directing commercials, and marketing and promotional films for 20 years. I have continued to choreograph and dance out of love of movement. I have had various opportunities to not only choreograph for stage, but also to choreograph and direct commercials and various other videos.
Dance Company: Vicki Brown-Favazza, Artistic Director
Beyond Motion Dance Company began out of a strong passion for music, dance and movement. Along the way, I've found others whose passion for dance is as strong as mine and now, together, we act as a unit drawing from each other's talents.
Using only our own choreography, the styles can range anywhere from modern to ballet to hip hop to broadway-style jazz. Our eclectic repertoire will surely whet the appetite of almost every type of individual. Watch for our upcoming events.
