Timeline
On January 23, 1986, Moore passed away at his home in Brooklyn after a long illness at the age of 58.
In 1974 Moore founded the Charles Moore Center for Ethnic Studies and Dances and Drums of Africa. Through Dances and Drums of Africa, Moore revived one of Asadata Dafora's most famous pieces, "Awassa Astrige", calling it "The Ostrich", which would later become one of Moore's most celebrated pieces. Moore reconstructed many traditional African dances such as "Bundao", "Spear Dance", "Sacred Forest", and "African Congo".
In 1974, Moore and his wife Ella founded the Charles Moore Center for Ethnic Studies in New York City. Moore used his company to reconstruct African dances that had once been considered lost by blending techniques of his teachers with his own. The Charles Moore Center for Ethnic Studies specialized in recreating African and Caribbean traditional dances and revivals of works by African choreographers. Through his company, Moore brought many African dancers and musicians to the United States to perform, including master drummer, Chief Bay. Between 1974 and 1985, Moore's company toured nationally and internationally.
Moore married Ella Thompson, also a dancer, in 1960 after meeting at the Dunham School of Dance and Theater. Together, they had one son, Anthony.
In 1959, Moore began teaching Katherine Dunham's technique in New York City at the Clark Center, the New Dance Group Studio, and for Harlem Youth Activities (Har-You-Act), Hunter College, Medgar Evers College, City College, and the Hanson Place Methodist Church in Brooklyn.
In 1948, Moore moved to New York City after receiving the Charles Weidman dance scholarship.

Olatunji and S. Ilori, as well as Ghanaian dancers Kobla Ladzekpo and A. Opoku. Between 1952 and 1960, Moore was a member of Katherine Dunham's dance company at the Dunham School of Dance and Theater.
