From the reviews

My child has danced with Art of Motion or sister company Fayetteville Dance Company for the last four years. While FDC are now owned separate the two AOF and FDC have been a dream for us and work as a family.

★★★★★ — Katie, Jun 2019

We are extremely happy with our transition from another studio. Art of Motion focuses on building character, positive self-esteem and confidence. Previous dance studios (in town and out of state) made some choices in music which conveyed a negative and demeaning image of young girls in dance.

★★★★★ — Otto, Aug 2015

We have had a great experience at The Art of Motion over the years. It’s been awesome to watch our daughter develop not only strong dance skills, but also confidence and a love for dance.

★★★★★ — Bradley, Feb 2026

We have been going to Art of Motion for over 5 years. Hannah and her staff are amazing! Both of my girls have learned so much. In addition to learning dance skills, they have also gained confidence in themselves that has helped them outside of dance. We would never look anywhere else!

Your first ballet class at The Art of Motion

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.
