★★★★★ — Ava, Dec 2023

I’ve been apart of the AIM family as both a dancer when growing up and currently as a dance coach and I can’t think of a better place for kids to be at. As a student of this dance studio I found a second home with teachers and staff that loved me like their own and pushed me to be not only a better dancer with harder…

★★★★★ — Maddie, Aug 2021

My daughter has participated in dance classes for a year with Coach Maddie and has absolutely loved it. My daughter was unsure about separating from me at times and Maddie helped to make her feel comfortable. She has loved dance so much that we decided to host her birthday party at the studio.

★★★★★ — Heather, Aug 2024

So happy to have found this amazing studio!! My daughter loves going to class each week and competing with the company team. Every member of the staff seems to genuinely care for each student that comes through the doors. There is an excitement to dance, create friendships and build leaders.

Your first ballet class at Art in Motion School of Dance

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.
