Ballet is the foundation of western concert dance. Ballet is a rich tradition that has been passed down orally through centuries. At Art in Motion we explore the roots of Ballet with a focus on vocabulary, tradition, and etiquette. Pointe and Pre-Pointe are taken by the serious dancer and are practiced with attention to proper anatomical movement. Pointe can be one of the most exhilarating forms of dance, and also the most disciplined.

Tap dance is one of the most enjoyable ways to learn rhythm. At Art in Motion, students learn Broadway Style Tap Dance in an encouraging environment.

Born in late 19th century United States, Modern Dance has gone through a variety of evolutions to encompass what we consider “Modern” to each era. At Art in Motion, students are given a glimpse of each era of Modern Dance to learn skills that not only enrich lives, but play an integral role in the success of the mature dancer.
