From the reviews
My experience at Move With Joy studio has been nothing but amazing! The space is a beautiful safe haven for children & adults. Classes are super fun, effective, & full of diversity. The owners are the most genuine people you'll ever meet! Talented Dancers, Great Parents, & Very professional!
Joy is the absolute greatest! I truly enjoy her work, art, dance and most importantly the welcoming, friendly, multiculturally competent environment shes created for children and families.
Andi & I have been working out at Move With Joy since she & Aerick opened it. They are lovely people: welcoming, warm, and positive. It's a great space and Joy is a talented & challenging instructor. We're regulars at Joy's pilates classes and also enjoy her yoga classes. Highly recommended!
My three daughters have all taken dance classes at Move with Joy. Joy is a wonderful teacher. She sets a positive and encouraging atmosphere. All students feel accepted and lifted up to do their best. Having an affordable and centrally located dancing studio is really nice.
Your first ballet class at Move With Joy
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.
