To The Beat brings choreographers and composers together in an unexpected pairing to create surprising results.
Dancers prepare a short choreography to no music, then music producers create a track inspired by the dancer’s movement. To The Beat deconstructs the conventional approach to choreography and music, giving dancers and musicians a fresh approach to their craft.
