Jon Boogz is a movement artist, choreographer, and director who pushes the evolution of dance, sharing his art form with audiences of all backgrounds while inspiring and bringing awareness to social issues. His collaborators and clients have included Mikhail Baryshnikov, Pharrell, Naomi Campbell, Gloria Estefan, Bonobo, and TriBeCa Film Festival. His most recent critically acclaimed project is Color of Reality, a short film he wrote, directed, and choreographed in collaboration with visual artist Alexa Meade and dancer Lil Buck. Boogz and Buck have also teamed up to form the nonprofit Movement Art Is, an organization that uses dance to inspire positive change and empower the dancers.

Originally motivated to begin dancing by the painstaking choreography of Michael Jackson, Boogz embarked as a movement artist 15 years ago and soon thereafter was participating in dance competitions around the world.

Since then he has choreographed work for numerous notable icons including ballet’s Mikhail Baryshnikov, Naomi Campbell, and Gloria Estefan. His collaborations include work with the TriBeCa Film Festival, Lil Buck, and Bonobo and his choreography is used in the FOX TV show “So You Think You Can Dance,” the Cirque du Soleil MJ ONE show in Las Vegas, and he was recently featured at the Geffen Playhouse “Backstage at the Geffen” gala with his dance company Control Freakz and Lil Buck.

His forthcoming works in progress seek to seamlessly merge movement with the worlds of fine art, film, and the stage.
