The "Movement for Peace Project" and Moving Women are the brainchild of Kathy Meyers, UNC Asheville adjunct professor of dance. Meyers has taught dance in private studios, public schools, community colleges and universities throughout the east coast. A noted choreographer and collaborator, Meyers has also performed in ballet and modern dance companies as well as in festivals in the United States, Cuba and Mexico.
