From the reviews
My child has been dancing at In Motion for 7 years. She has had a number of dance teachers during that time, including Ms. Deena. I have been happy with the instruction, costuming and music choices, and my daughter's skill progression over the years.
Ms. Alex is amazing 👏 Ms. Cynthia the owner is awesome as well. We've been here for 3 years and my daughter loves it ❤️
My daughter has been dancing with In Motion since 2022. 4 years is a long time to be a part of anything these days, which speaks volumes as to why families like ours hold this studio in such high regard. The instructors are passionate, knowledgeable, and invested in each student’s progress.
Our 9 year old son has danced with In Motion Dance Center for over 5 years and our 3 year old daughter has been excited to start this year. We have LOVED our experience with Ms. Alex and the rest of the In Motion staff.
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.
