Michela Marino Lerman and Love Movement

Love Movement is not your ordinary band. The ensemble, led by tap dancer Michela Marino Lerman, is a hybrid of the highest levels of musicianship and hoofing. Incorporating original music, spirituals, jazz, traditional, and electronic tap boards, the group aims to challenge thoughts, uplift, and send the audience dancing all the way home. Love Movement is an immersive musical experience that reflects a journey through the seven levels of love we experience throughout life, starting with familial love, self-love and realization, protest, prayer, spiritual love, and finally, romantic love.
