From the reviews

It has been over two years since I joined AIM. I was able to obtain a free class so I decided to go and check out some Salsa. The instructor was Darlin and he and the staff made that one experience enjoyable. I decided to sign up and continue.

★★★★★ — Nathaniel, Feb 2024

AIM is more than a dance studio to me. From the moment I walked in the door almost 2 years ago, it felt like Home. I was warmly greeted at the desk and in my beginner bachata class, David made all of us feel so at ease and kept the energy light and fun the whole way through, while also teaching us the foundations of…

★★★★★ — Kellysue, Feb 2024

I'm a retired Law Enforcement Officer of 35 years and take classes at AIM to stay physically active and socially engaged with people. Darlin Garcia is absolutely top tier, years of experience and championships, a skilled professional,patient, community oriented,humorous and will bring out the best in his students.

★★★★★ — M, May 2025

I underwent reconstructive surgery on my foot and have begun taking salsa classes to improve my dancing skills, as well as to enhance my cardiovascular fitness and aid in my recovery. The classes are exceptional, and the instructors—Darlin, David, and Rob—are all outstanding.

Adult ballet at Art In Motion Dance & Fitness

Art In Motion Dance & Fitness runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.

Your first ballet class at Art In Motion Dance & Fitness

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
