Philosophy

The Arts in Motion philosophy is both complicated and simple. If you'd like the complicated version, give us a call (we LOVE to talk). But the simple one goes something like this:

Dance should be artistic.
Dance should be thoughtful.
Dance should be uniting.
And, most of all, dance should be fun.
And if it's not all these things, then it's not our kind of dance.

We emphasize an artistic, fun, joyful, non-competitive dance experience to help our students develop their own unique artistic personality and appreciate the joy of movement.  We strive to provide a meaningful and positive experience for every child while giving them the knowledge and skills necessary to grow as a dancer and artist.

All of our classes utilize only age-appropriate movement and music.  There are no recitals and no little ones in makeup, but a Final Class Showing on stage, in uniforms, which demonstrates accomplishments.  Increased performance opportunities in our AiMDance Ensemble Program become available as the students reach age 6, but are optional.
