Urbanity Dance

Announcing the 2026 recipients of Urbanity X, our annual residency program supporting emerging Boston movement artists.

This year marks an exciting first for the program: Urbanity X is now offered across two distinct tracks. The Dancemaker track supports choreographers advancing their artistic practice, while the new Community track supports artists whose work directly benefits the Boston dance community. Each resident receives a $1,000 stipend, 40 hours of studio space, the opportunity to share their work publicly, and more.

Meet our partners at Pine Street Inn. Through Urbanity's Movement Meets program, dance shows up exactly where it's needed most: in shelters, where joy and creativity aren't extras, but essential. For an hour, the room lifts, and so does everyone in it.

This partnership is what Move What Matters is all about. Help us raise $75,000 by June 30 so programs like Movement Meets keep showing up where they're needed most.

She rediscovered the love she thought she'd lost, and discovered something new about herself as an artist at Urbanity. At 15, she started her own dance company.

Sage's story is what Move What Matters is all about. Today we're launching our campaign to raise $75,000 by June 30, so the next dancer who walks through our doors finds what Sage found.
