From the reviews
We love Melody & Motions, can’t say one bad thing about anything. My stepdaughter attends dance and tumbling classes, she loves it! The instructors are amazing and they are all very professional! The parents and her peers are very kind, caring and loving!
My daughter had attended M and M for two years now and loves every minute of it! This is our 3rd studio we have attended and FINALLY found someone who cares about her students and is organized.
This was my granddaughters first year taking dance and she's shy. After the first class she was excited and couldn't wait to go back! She loves Miss Jessica her teacher and all the girls were so sweet to her ❤️ She LOVED being in the dance recital and now her 2 sisters want to join!!
My daughter will be starting her 10th year at the studio this fall. She has enjoyed all of her classes and teachers during her time taking dance here. The studio is great about getting details communicated to all parents. The recital is a great event that showcases each class.
Your first ballet class at Melody & Motion School of Performing Arts
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.
