From the reviews
Artistic Motion has given me such happiness and joy. Not only does every staff member offer top level training, the care and attention they give to all the students, dancers and community is unmatched.
My daughter has danced since she was 3 (14 years total). It wasn't until she found Artistic Motion that she truly felt "at home". She feels loved by the teachers (says that she feels like they truly take the time to know her and care about her).
Such wonderful, positive, talented teachers. I would love a little better organization/ communication, but I know the company/ school dynamic is still young and I feel like they’re making strides! Greensboro is lucky to have this level of instruction right here!
My daughter has been a student at Artistic Motion for 10 years and we have been so happy there. Top notch professional teachers who greet students with hugs. An encouraging atmosphere that focuses on students strengths. Highly recommend!
Adult ballet at Artistic Motion School of Arts & Preparatory Academy
Artistic Motion School of Arts & Preparatory Academy 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 Artistic Motion School of Arts & Preparatory Academy
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.
