Welcome to The Movement Dance Studio! We offer classes for every age and level, from a dancer's very first class through pre-professional training.
Our classes are grouped by level:
Movers & Moms: ages 2-3 (parent and child)
Little Movers: ages 3-5
Level I, Petite: ages 5-6
Level II, Mini: ages 6-8
Level III, Junior: ages 8-11
Level III/IV, Pre-teen: ages 11-13
Level IV, Teen: ages 12-15
Level V, Senior: ages 15+
Adult & Pro: ages 18+
Placement is based on readiness, not age alone, so two dancers of the same age may be a better fit in different levels. Dancers must meet the age requirement for a class by the first day of the season.
