Rhonda Moore

Rhonda Moore is a Philadelphia-based dancer, performance artist, and educator whose career has helped shape the evolution of contemporary dance in the U.S. A founding member of the groundbreaking Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, Moore is known for her expressive range, technical precision, and radical presence on stage. She began her career performing with the Akosua Afro-Haitian Dance & Drum Troupe, training intensively in Dunham technique—a foundation that continues to inform her movement language.

Moore later danced with Jamie Cunningham’s ACME Dance Company and has appeared in numerous stage works that blur the lines between performance, ritual, and cultural commentary. Her practice merges embodied storytelling with a commitment to movement as liberation—honoring diasporic traditions while pushing boundaries in form and content.

As an educator, she has mentored generations of dancers through workshops, residencies, and public programs, cultivating spaces where creativity, discipline, and ancestral memory converge.
