I have trained in classical ballet for 10 years at other studios. I took one class with Miss…read moreLuciana and was blown away. She picked up on things that many other instructors have missed in my technique and have helped me to avoid injury and continue dancing as I grow older. I had an overuse injury that caused me to leave dance and have been slowly returning because I love the art. Feedback that challenges me and keeps me a healthy dancer is exactly what I'm looking for and Miss Luciana delivers. Thankful for this studio!

My son found this fantastic place after taking disappointing ballet classes at several different…read morestudios in town, where directors were mercurial and fussy, and the training was really hit or miss. Luciana Rezendes, the teacher at the Urbana Fine Arts Center is not only the best teacher of dance he has had by far, but also has been the most human. And--a plus for me-- the most affordable by a long shot! Miss Luciana offers exceptional training at a level of instruction that you would only otherwise find in big cities, but is willing to work with all levels of dancers, including adult learners. The center is conveniently located across from Meijer's and next to a pizzeria and other restaurants so I can shop while my son is in class. The studio itself is spacious and airy. We are lucky to have Luciana Rezendes here in Champaign Urbana!

While…read morethere, students learn wonderful technique and self-control while also feeling welcomed and encouraged by their instructors. At the end of every teaching year, they put on concerts to demonstrate all the hard work the students have put in, highlighting the seniors with senior spotlights. The classes offered are diverse and teach a wide range of different skills, so even if one style is not your thing, there are plenty of others to try out. If you are looking for somewhere that teaches the art of dance while also building a loving community, this is the place for you.

All-Star Cheerleading at it's best. This is a top-notch facility with great instructors…read more ICA is partnered with I-Power Gymnastics so they have talented and experienced All-Star Cheer Instructors as well as fabulous the best tumbling instructors in the area.

My daughter begin dancing at Art In Motion in 2001. She loved it from the first moment she started…read more The highlight for her each year was performing on stage at the Virginia theater in annual recital. What great memories she has of the studio and it's teachers. The staff is very welcoming to newcomers, and regardless of your child's skill set, whether you are a beginner, and intermediate, or very experienced, there is a class for you. Art In Motion has the highest quality teaching of any dance studio I have ever experienced. The facilities are very spacious, and yet there is a family like atmosphere amongst all the staff and teachers. Personally speaking of our own experience, each teacher on staff offers the highest caliber of training, in addition to the upmost attention given to integrity and character development in each child/student they encounter. Definitely a FIRST CLASS facility in every aspect that is important! I rarely review anything on YELP, but Art in Motion dance studio deserves a great review! I personally recommend Art in Motion to anyone who is interested in giving their children a high-quality experience in dance along with being taught integrity, hard work, and diligence with good morals and great work ethic. On a personal note, MY favorite part of having my daughter be a part of th A.I.M. Family was getting the opportunity myself to dance with my daughter at recital each year. The Daddy/Daughter dance that the owner teaches has got to be one of the biggest of its kind anywhere in the United States! There was over 75 dad's along with their daughters on stage EVERY YEAR that we danced in the recital... My daughter will never forget those memories with me that WE made both rehearsing and performing in some of the craziest costumes I've ever tried on... WELL DONE Chad and Tricia and STAFF! You guys are the best!

This dance studio has a lot to offer! There are definitely some things that I was very impressed by…read moreand also there were a few things that were questionable. First of all, the front desk staff was super helpful! She helped me with all of my questions and concerns... and I had a lot of them. I was impressed with the amenities that were on site (other than the dance studios) They have a lounge equipped with tables and couches perfect for waiting parents or a break between classes. There is also a decent size fitness center with a wide variety of machines. I heard that some of the moms signed up for trainers during their daughters dance classes... how convenient!! They also have vending machines with snacks, drinks, and coffee. There are 4 dance studios all of them different sizes to accommodate large and small classes.I did notice that the studios were cluttered with costumes, tumble mats, props, etc. The clutter made the studios seem smaller and disorganized. Are there no storage closets?? This place is huge there has to be somewhere else these things can be stored. The students seem to lack discipline, They scurry between studios, come in late to class, talk, goof around, and don't listen to the teacher. I also wasn't sure why there were little 7/8 year olds mixed in with 14/15 year olds. The younger kids stole the teacher attention with their constant need for discipline. I feel bad for the older girls because they have so much potential and have really amazing skills already, but the teacher could not provide with with any feedback besides using them as an example to the younger girls of how quiet they were (which didn't help the younger girls be quiet anyway). I would love to see the age groups separated a little more for the sake of the students. I mean they have the studio space - why not give your students a little more personalized attention? I do also want to address the adult ballet class. It is awesome for adults who don't have much experience. But it is also great for anyone who does have experience. I know I worked up a sweat. The class has a friendly and welcoming vibe and the teacher was full of energy. Great for parents to do while their daughters are in class. As one of the moms in this class said, "I now have a huge appreciation for what my daughter does." Amazing. I wish my mom took some adult ballet classes :) The entire vibe of the studio is definitely competition. When you first walk in there are these huge trophy's lined up against the wall. All the kids are running around in tiny booty shorts and bra-like tops. The all inclusive aspect (dance, study, work out, eat, probably even sleep/nap) everything you need is a recipe for long nights at this studio.

It is great fun, not at all embarrassing, and something we look forward to each week. As an anniversary present my wife and I just bought each other another round of lessons. We've started putting the weekly dances on our calendar to exercise our newly acquired skills. This is a university town, and most of us spend our time trapped in our frontal lobes. So doing something entirely different, in which we move to music, is a joy.

Also one of the instructors recently had an informal ukulele jam that I attended as well. The faculty here are great! Everyone is friendly and they absolutely LOVE music and the arts. It's cool watching the wide variety of instruments that students are carrying to and from their lessons- violins, violas, cellos, guitars (acoustic and electric), banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, and so on. They have summer camps for kids with some variety including a "rock band" camp that a co-worker's daughter attended. She was only going to go for the first week but enjoyed it so much she signed up for the second week too. I think it gave her the confidence to join a real band which she has since done and has performed with in public a few times now. My kids love their instructors and not only had a good time in class but my wife and I are impressed by how much music theory they picked up in class! Also they have a kid's string band The Bow-dacious String Band and I've caught them twice at public performances and for a children's band they're very impressive, if you get a chance to see them perform I recommend it and I recommend C4A if you're looking for music instruction! I wish their location was a little more convenient but really that's the only complaint I have and really that's a minor thing.
