From the reviews
We love Ms. Lauren at In Motion Dance!!!! We see every week how much she loves what she does and shares that passion with her students. I am thankful that my daughter, who has a physical disability, is able to enjoy the one thing she loves-dance! Ms.
We love attending In Motion Dance Center! The teachers are so kind and have helped my daughter to build her confidence in dance and in life overall! I would highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for a dance school. The dances are appropriate and so are the costumes.
Such a great space that has a small family feel. Ms. Nina make learning beginner ballet and tap so much fun while also pushing the dancers so they learn.
Miss Lauren is so enthusiastic about dance and it shows. My daughter loves going to dance and Acro because of her and Miss Nina!
Adult ballet at In Motion Dance Center
In Motion Dance Center 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 In Motion Dance 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.
