You have two options here:

1) Enable the option in the WM prefs to allow you to drag windows
between desktops.

2) There's a hotkey for moving an app to the next/previous desktop.  I
don't recall exactly, but I think it's ctrl+shift+home and
ctrl+shift+end.  You can configure this in the keyboard shortcuts in the
WM prefs as well.
