From the reviews
My daughter has been an AIM student since she was 2 years old and the studio opened. I was immediately impressed by Brooke's abilities to begin instilling a love for dance with proper technique and dance terminology for even the youngest ages.
My daughter has been dancing with AIM since the opening of the studio. We love it! Starting as a 2 year old, my dancer has grown each year and has truly developed a love for dance thanks to the awesome teachers and older students that she interacts with.
Both of our daughters have been students at AIM for several years. Brooke and all of the teachers do a great job with technique whether it is a competition level routine or a recreational class. Our girls love being at the studio and have made friends they love as family!
My daughter just started with AIM, and I must say, the lady at the front desk was extremely patient and kind. She knew my daughters name as well as the rest of the students, which was very impressive. My daughter is very happy here and feels like she belongs.
Your first ballet class at Artistry In Motion Performing Arts Center
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.
