My daughters have taken dance classes here for 4 years and it has been such an amazing experience. The Owner, Mandy, is such an amazing teacher and loving person. My girls ADORE HER. They not only have learned technique over the years, but also has allowed both of them to have a confidence in them that never existed.

★★★★★ — Heather, May 2016

My daughter has been taking ballet here for 3 years and I could not imagine a better experience. She has learned so much in the last three years, not only skills, but self confidence and life lessons.

★★★★★ — Emily, Jul 2015

My daughter has danced on the Movement competition team for 3 years. She has grown so much as a dancer in skill and work ethic. Mandy and the instructors treat each girl with love and respect and push them to be their best. The Movement feels like family!

★★★★★ — Rachel, May 2016

My daughter has had the most wonderful experience dancing at The Movement & Co. She’s in her third season now. We’ve done “rec” and, now, “Mini Movers” (which is their stepping stone to “comp” for littles). The owner is the kindest, most thoughtful person. All the front desk staff is sweet and supportive.

Your first ballet class at The Movement & Co.

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.
