Dance Alum On This Year's Top 25 List


Micah Moch, graduate of the dance program in the NIU School of Theatre and Dance, has been working professionally since his graduation as, among other appearances, a member of the Lulu Washington Dance Theatre.

His talent and work are now recognized internationally, as Micah's been cited as one of 2012's "25 to Watch" by Dance Magazine.

Of Micah, Dance Magazine says "His kung-fu leaps froze in midair; his duck walks scrambled impossibly low to the ground...But what elevates Moch from good to great is his way of assembling steps while rendering transitions invisible."

Micah was also one of the dancers for Avatar the movie, creating motion capture in order to animate the tribesmen.

Congratulations, Micah!
