★★★★★ — Kenzie, Jan 2018

Best studio ever! Been here for over 10 years and have loved every minute. The people here quickly become your family. I’ve found my forever friends here and grown fantastic relationships with all the teachers. Also, this studio is amazing at facilitating growth for all dancers of all ages!

★★★★★ — Kenzie, Apr 2023

My daughter loves this dance studio. She is normally very anxious and was able to warm up to Ms.Maria very quickly. She looks forward to seeing her every week. Ms.Maria is so nice and is not at all pushy with the dancers.

★★★★★ — Brittney, Jan 2020

I have two kids who go to this studio and it has become their home away from home! We started when my oldest was two (she's 7 now) and I was pregnant with her little sister. Now the both take multiple classes and love every minute.

Your first ballet class at Rhythm & 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.

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.
