What is NACHMO?
NACHMO (which stands for National Choreography Month) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building an inclusive and active dance community across the world!
January Challenge
Every January, NACHMO issues a challenge for choreographers of all levels to create movement daily using short, accessible prompts! You can participate for recreation, or with the goal of staging an entirely new work!
Ambo x NACHMO
Ambo uses the NACHMO January Challenge as a means of kicking off the new year of dance! Using the daily prompts given, choreographers from the company or the community stage brand new works that are premiered in a mixed-bill show in March.
Get Involved!
Are you a local dancer looking for performance opportunities? Or are you a choreographer looking for an opportunity to create a new work and showcase it? Ambo's annual NACHMO show may exactly what you're looking for! Check for upcoming Company Auditions or Contact us!
Ambo Dance Theatre is proud to host the 4th Annual Kentucky NACHMO Dance Festival! This mixed-bill production features works by Kentucky choreographers with Ambo Dance Theatre and beyond, as well as guest performances by Dance Uprising (Ann Arbor, MI) and Deno Dance Company (Lafayette, IN)!
All of the dance works featured in the show were created as part of the National Choreography Month January Challenge!
