WHO IS MOTION FOR
At Motion, our training helps every dancer grow in confidence, technique, and creativity. Classes are grouped by age and ability, following a Three-Term Structure that balances technical development, performance, and artistic growth.
Motion is a school for children and adults that value growth in a supportive environment.
PLEASE NOTE
Age and ability levels are only a guide. Motion teachers have the final decision on class placement
.
Sometimes it’s more important for a dancer to be with their age group, and other times to be in the class that best suits their ability — depending on the style, confidence, and development of each dancer.
