We started at Move when they opened in 2016. My daughter was not yet three and I had a new baby. They have always been incredible with both of my girls. I watch the classes of two and three year olds and wonder how they do it, but they always manage. My daughters have grown so much there and made lifelong friends. Thanks to everyone at Move!

Just enrolled my three girls after seeing the enthusiasm from Miss Aliyah in the 5yo hip hop class and the effort and energy Miss Andrea put in for my older daughters jazz class. My daughters had a great time trialing the class. Especially my 5yo. She had so much fun. And my 9yo and 10yo were challenged and engaged.

I'm so glad I found Move Dance Academy! My four year old loved the mini ballet class so much that we decided to add an additional Tap class! The studio is adorable, the teachers are great and my little one really is learning so much! I used to be a dancer so watching how much she's learning at such a young age makes me so happy! Prices are affordable for this stay at home mom! Counting down for my youngest to turn 2 next month so I can enroll her as well! Thank you Move Dance -Demi's mom!
