James Morrow (born April 2, 1976 in Chicago) is an American hip hop and contemporary dancer and choreographer. Graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Northeastern Illinois University in 2001, Morrow established the Chicago-based dance company "Instruments of Movement" which operated until 2009.[1] Combining hip hop dance forms with modern dance vocabulary,[2][3] Morrow's work has been noted as the aesthetic inspiration behind another local professional company, Chicago Dance Crash.[4] Morrow later went on to earn a Master of Fine Arts in dance from Hollins University in 2011 and is currently working as an assistant professor of dance at Old Dominion University.[5][6]
