Top SchoolMichael J. Love is an interdisciplinary tap dance artist, scholar, and educator based in Philadelphia who blends Black queer feminist theory with rigorous embodied practice to reimagine Black cultural pasts and future rhythms. As an Assistant Professor of Dance at Ursinus College and former Princeton Arts Fellow, he designs innovative curricula and produces performance work that intersects choreography, sound, and video. His collaborative projects span disciplines and notable partners—Sō Percussion, DeForrest Brown Jr., and Aryel René Jackson—and include co-composing on Sō’s 25x25 (2025). Love’s work has been showcased at major venues from The Shed to MoMA and recognized by institutions such as Fusebox Festival and the Austin Critics’ Table. Holding an MFA from UT Austin, he pairs rigorous scholarship and published research with high-profile performance credits, including a Broadway laboratory with Savion Glover. A native of the D.C. area, he brings eight years of focused professional practice and a knack for anti-disciplinary collaboration that yields unexpected multimedia outcomes.
