From the reviews
I absolutely LOVE this dance studio! My daughter is thriving here and can’t wait for Saturday mornings to come. The teachers are top notch I can’t say enough good things. ❤️❤️❤️
This is my 2nd year at FOM,and honestly, it’s been such an amazing experience. I’ve been pushed and have grown in unimaginable ways both physically and mentally. I’m always encouraged to be my best, and the support I get helps me build confidence and strength every day.
Marissa Marinelli and Freedom of Movement Dance Company have forever changed my daughter’s life for the better. Through consistency, love, and a knowledge of competitive dance, the staff have fostered a motivation and determination to thrive in her new dance studio, and Evie has done just that.
We have been part of the FOM Family for three years, and it has been an incredible experience for my daughter. Not only has she grown tremendously in her technical skills, but she has also built strong friendships that truly feel like family. What sets FOM apart is the perfect balance of challenge and support.
Your first ballet class at Freedom Of Movement Dance Company
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.
