Little Rock-based Rock Moves Contemporary Dance is the premiere professional contemporary dance company in Central Arkansas. Rock Moves was born in the wake of several university dance programs' closures across the state of Arkansas. Artistic Director, Robin Neveu Brown, is a proud Little Rock transplant, working to catalyze an entire contemporary dance community so that talented artists do not need to leave our state in order to have a career. Our mission is to share the vibrant and vital art form of contemporary dance through live performance, dance film, and community-facing educational programming. Rock Moves' choreographic projects are site-specific and often immersive or participatory in nature in order to engage people in new ways of seeing and being in their spaces. We bring dance beyond its traditional, insular settings of stage and studio, activating our community's public spaces with kinetic and dynamically expressive storytelling. In addition to teaching in public schools and community centers throughout Central Arkansas, Rock Moves offers twice weekly community classes in Little Rock that are open to all levels of experience. In the spring, Rock Moves will host a community-building workshop, Movement Kitchen, in which a cohort of early career choreographers and interdisciplinary artists will meet monthly to share work, hone their artistic voice, engage in artistic discourse, and form a support network for one another.

Robin Neveu Brown is a professional contemporary dancer, choreographer, dance educator, and theatre artist whose work has been seen both nationally and internationally. She holds an MFA in Dance from the University of Maryland, a BFA in Dance from the University of Florida, and is a Certified Movement Analyst in the Laban/Bartenieff Movement System.
