So, I spoke to Jessica and Andrea through email and decided to let my 3 year old baby boy give it a go! What I loved most is that they gave me one class for us to decide before committing. As a single mom, this resonated really well with me. We went to Jessica's class and she was so patient and my babe LOVED it! We did come in toward the end of the season so Jessica recommended we actually start at the beginning so my little boy doesn't feel so out of place. She did everything to keep him included and treated all of the little ones so special! We are really looking forward to starting class and

Before join AMPAC 3 years ago we tried other places... Nothing compared to them on flexibility and adaptability to kids' needs. Stuff is amazing and teachers are extremely professional. Litle one loves Mrs. Andrea (the care and way she "manages" the little kids is unbelievable) and my 8 years old adores Mrs. Angie who welcoming and is teaching her the dance steps since the very first day. The recital is super organized and one of the best memories I have from my kids.

Both of my daughters have learned a lot while having fun and being encouraged to do their best! The instructors are amazingly talented and have a heart for teaching children in positive, nurturing ways. So happy to be a part of this family and we look forward to many years to come!

It all started 10 years ago when my oldest daughter wanted to dance. We started at Pat Riddle and were happy then but ever since the new ownership and the transition into a new studio location (now Artistry in Motion) we've been even happier. Three of my 4 children are now at Artistry in Motion and have grown into very passionate dancers. At Artistry in Motion, the kids are being challenged and they are always finding new ways to add more classes, workshops, or guest teachers to continue to challenge and better the kids' dance education. We are very pleased with the business part as well and there

We have been a part of this dance family for 14 years. Since transitioning to new owners and becoming Artistry in Motion two years ago, we are at a larger, more updated dance facility. We have the same great dance teachers that have always been there and I can tell they care about my daughter. The dance teachers put their heart and soul in to teaching dance technique, discipline and passion. I can't imagine anyone wanting to be a part of any other dance studio.
