From the reviews

This is my daughter’s second season here at M8 and it has been nothing short of what we were looking for in a studio!! Mary, Alex, and the entire M8 staff push and encourage the kids to the fullest! M8 is more than a dance studio it is a family! The staff are always available to answer all your questions and concerns.

This is my 5 year old daughters first year at Motiv8ion and she absolutely loves it! Ms. Kennedy and Ms. Avery are her teachers and they are wonderful with the kids. She is learning so much and loves going to class to see them and her friends.

★★★★★ — Krysta, Jan 2025

My daughter danced with the studio last year. I was so pleased with everything and everyone! They truly cared about making my daughter a better dancer. They helped her break some bad habits she had developed and challenged her, while still being kind and motivational.

★★★★★ — Amanda, Jan 2025

Great instructors that have real world professional experience not just “certified from school” if you want a great dance studio for your kids to get actual instruction from real dancers this is it.

Your first ballet class at Motiv8ion Dance 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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
