From the reviews
You would be hard-pressed to find a dance studio as personable and professional as Techniques in Motion. My two children have been coming here for some time and have had the best experience.
What a wonderful studio!!!! The owner and everyone who works there has made us feel so comfortable and welcome, we just started (mid-year) and it's been truly a blast! There's a huge variety of classes and I'm so excited for our family to be a part of the community.
Our daughter found her passion in dance when she came here. She had dabbled in all the other things kids participate in.... sports, music, scouts, cheer, etc... but dance was what became her "thing." The teachers here not only developed her talents, but also encouraged responsibility, integrity, and good work ethic.
Techniques in Motion has become our home away from home. My daughter started dancing there at the age of 4 and we have been customers for over 10 years now. My daughter has grown tremendously as a dancer, and more importantly, has learned teamwork and developed beautiful friendships.
Adult ballet at Techniques In Motion Dance School
Techniques In Motion Dance School 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 Techniques In Motion Dance School
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.
