Two of our daughters are enrolled here. They have a great time and Bri is an amazing teacher. She's great with the kids no matter their skill level or shyness.

3 of my kids too dance with Motions (teachers Nicky and Cyndi) and had so much fun! My very shy daughter really blossomed and came out of her shell in her class, and my oldest who likes to be the star of the show got a chance to shine on the stage. The classes are also affordable and fun. The teachers encourage the dancers and let them enjoy themselves in class instead of barking at them to be more serious.

We love it here! Bri has been my daughters teacher for years now (since my daughter was 2 yrs old) and we're in our 3rd class. My daughter has made friends and learned a lot and had a blast.
