From the reviews
My daughter has been with Motion Studio for 8 years! She has grown so much and I love to watch her dance. The studio becomes so much more then just an after school activity, it has become part of our family! ❤️ Best Studio Around! My son also takes drums and voice!
My daughter began her dance journey at Motion Studio when she was just four years old, and in a few months, she will take the stage for her final recital as a senior. Looking back over the past 14 years, we couldn’t have asked for a more supportive and inspiring dance family.
Motion studio is unlike any other studio! The instructors really care about the students! Hands down the BEST studio in southern Indiana with no competitions either! That’s one reason I chose the studio.
I cannot give enough stars to Motion Studio! They have been incredibly accommodating to our daughter who requires additional assistance. Dance has been a hugely impactful part of her life, thanks to the amazing staff. She has improved in balance, coordination, walking, and has learned how to work with others.
Adult ballet at Motion Studio
Motion Studio 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 Motion Studio
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.
