All Welcome

Our Philosophy......While our team is competitive,  our main goal is for all of our students to participate in an environment that will build their confidence, self esteem and technique.  We work together as a team, parent, staff and student,  to train hard working, honest, well rounded performers, with an appreciation for the work of others. We work together to respect  fellow team members as well as other performers and choreographers we are so privileged to meet.  We are not a team built on the winnings  of medals but rather the road that is traveled to get there.  We measure our success not by the medals we achieve but rather the character that is developed within our students.  

Requirements....Students who have appropriate previous training are welcome to call for an evaluation. After the evaluation the student will be placed, with our Director's approval, in a class with other students who have achieved the same level of technique execution and performance ability. Dancers are  not  placed by the number of years he or she has trained, but rather by what he or she has accomplished in that period of time.

Students are required to take multiple classes each week with a strong focus on ballet.  Commitment, attendance, readiness and hard work are all a part of a dancer's responsibility.

Dance conventions, Master Classes and workshops both in dance and theater are part of the company experience!  Many of these classes are held at the studio while others are at an outside facility.

Our Students....Moves & Motions Dancers have gone on to Performing Arts High Schools such as; The Frank Sinatra School of Performing Arts, Professional Performing Arts (aka Alvin Ailey), Nassau Boces Dance Programs and LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts (aka The Fame School).  Moves & Motions Alumni are presently dancing in Professional Dance Companies, Off Broadway Performances and Touring Companies. Our Alumni have professional dance companies of their own, work in television and radio, work as Dance Adjudicators and professional Dance Educators.

Our Company students have performed in Theme Parks and Cultural Arts Festivals. Through dance many of our students have raised money for the Ronald McDonald House and The Make A Wish Foundation.  Our dancers have brought such joy to senior citizen centers and children's hospitals all over New York.  Company dancers get to perform at various events throughout the year,  from local street fairs to large corporate events.

Moves and Motions continues to support  our local charities. Our students and staff are always striving to reach higher goals.  It is important that while offering our dancers an excellent dance education we take the responsible approach to instill positive values while doing so. We  share our love of dance, our love of people, our compassion for others and through the art and power of dance, let them know we can always give back to the world
