SCHOOL of DANCE HISTORY

The Ipswich Moving Company and School led by founder and choreographer, Janet Taisey Craft makes its home in a renovated barn in Ipswich across from the Ipswich River.  For over thirty years, the Ipswich Moving Company (a professional modern dance company) and the Ipswich Moving Company School of Dance (an educational center for dance) directed by Jenny Carlson since 2002, have contributed to the artistic life of the North Shore and Greater Boston community.  In 1980, the Company and the School were incorporated as The Ipswich Dance Foundation, Inc as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit arts organization.   During the summer of 2003, the Studio underwent a major renovation of its facilities to better meet the needs of the School, Company and the community.  The Studio now boasts a fully equipped performance/studio space and a smaller second Studio with sprung maple dance floors, walled mirrors and wonderful natural light.
