This challenge is now being passed to you as part of The Present Perfect with Art21.

Turn the tables on Oliver and challenge him to perform your choreography! Film an original dance and Art21 will select choreography for Oliver, Laurie Simmons and on-site volunteers to perform during The Present Perfect with Art21 on June 23rd, online at PBS.org and in person at the 92YTribeca in New York City.
