Awesome team! My little one had an amazing time with MiM and we are looking forward to next season!

I beg your pardon, my granddaughter was registered well in advance to the start of this class. Then, the class was postponed a week later than we were scheduled. (For that, I received a phone call.) My daughter did not just "drop in" to the studio. I am positive that you do not have your facts straight as I submitted all requested registration documents through email to your office manager. Finally, I have reached out to you directly, to no avail, other than this yelp review response. If you had returned any of my correspondence, we could have cleared this up with no hard feelings. read more

What a hidden gem! You feel welcomed and appreciated from the second you walk in. Music in Motion is extremely family friendly, from the children's classes to the adult classes and all of the fun events, camps, and extras in between. Their website is easy to navigate and shares all the upcoming classes, events, and updates which makes planning in these uncertain times a breeze. read more

Music in Motion is our 2nd home! I was lucky enough to find this studio almost 20 years ago when my new husband and I moved to the area. I studied dance growing up and danced with a contemporary company at Virginia Tech. I was eager to continue dancing and was welcomed into the Music in Motion Dance Company in 2001. I danced and choreographed for the company for the following 14 years. During those years, my husband and I welcomed 3 children. My last year performing was 2015. I miss it terribly but am thankful that both of my girls LOVE to dance! I have transitioned from Music in Motion dancer to Music in Motion dance mom. Between my two girls, we are at the studio 5 days a week and I could not be happier about that! I am so thankful to be able to give my girls the gift of dance and am proud to call Music in Motion our dance studio. read more

I danced at Music In Motion for 15 years and enjoyed every moment of it. All of the dance instructors are kind, approachable, and professional. The dance instructions here are like no others you come across. They form special bonds and connections with every. single. student. Every student at Music In Motion feels included and the friendships you make here will become lifelong friendships. Music In Motion was like a second home to me thanks to all the amazing instructors who spent many hours devoting their time for us. They taught me so much about dance such as technique, performance, musicality, confidence, posture, strength, balance, flexibility, history, and much more. Music In Motion has well prepared me for college dance classes! You won't find a better dance family than here at Music In Motion! read more

My daughters have danced at Music In Motion for 7 years. The instructors are fantastic and the studio owner cares deeply about the dancers and their families. We recently moved out of the area but will forever treasure our memories of dancing with Music In Motion. It's a wonderful place for children to learn and grow and get a little exercise. read more

Amazing local studio with incredible and personable staff! Lauren really takes the time to give personal instruction to each student to make sure you're doing things the proper and safe way. They offer a great variety of classes for children and adults and really work hard to make you feel welcome, no matter your skill level. read more

If there was a zero star option available, that is the rate they would receive. This place has not only traumatized my Neice, in regards to this establishment, but for other places as well. How to begin this horrific account of events... my sister took both her daughter, and mine, to try this new dance class. With them she brought along 4 more friends. That's 6 little girls in total. All under the age of 6. My neice, who happens to be the sweetest little girl, needed to use the restroom before class began. Let me remind you that she is only 4yrs old. The instructor said no that she needed to wait until the break. My daughter age 6, saw her in distress and asked if she could take her. The instructor said no, but did allow her to go on her own. When my sister saw her and she mentioned what happened, She assured her not to worry, and that she would be allowed to go when she needed. At this point, we had already decided to simply not come back. This place obviously wasn't up to par with our standards. No biggie... right?? Until we noticed some odd behaviors. Let me list a few. 1) my neice refuses to now go into any dance class. Regardless of where and when. She continues to associate dance with not being allowed to use the restroom. 2) she has literally, Woken up in the middle of the night crying that she doesn't want to go to dance... 3) was so distraught when another little girl told her she would have to go to dance, to the point that the teacher had to call my sister in order to calm her down and assure her that she would not be returning to that horrid place. Let me end by saying that some of those girls we originally took with us, are still going and seem to enjoy it. I however, refuse to associate with people in the childcare industry, that do not recognize a child's basic needs at the Young age of four. A child at this age, cannot, and should not , be told to hold in their basic need to use the restroom. I truly hope that through this post, the instructor and management, can make sure this type of traumatic experience doesn't happen to another little child. read more

This tiny dance studio might teach kids to dance, but you'd have to make it past the ancient, drafty, tiny front waiting room and "owner with an attitude" first. The owner, Darlene, is clearly there to make a buck. I recently brought my daughter in to try out dance to see if she liked it. Darlene made sure I felt welcome by ignoring me for an hour and then, sensing that I hadn't paid her anything yet, pounced on me with the registration papers. She didn't say welcome or I hope your kid has a great time we're glad she's here. She just let me know that I'm responsible for paying tuition on time and that I can set it up to automatically withdraw from my bank account. So, after a month of sitting in the tiny waiting room watching Darlene appear only to rearrange magazines and not talk to any of the parents, I decided to pull my daughter from this chilly studio. I'm not sure if my daughter learned anything since the classes are behind closed doors with no viewing window, but from what she said, her teacher Jessica was great. Too bad Jessica doesn't have a studio. read more

I am sorry the previous review painted such a negative picture of a great place to dance. You can not judge a book by it's cover. The studio's decor is not a sign of the wonderful experiences dancers get at Music In Motion. It is a simple clean studio. As a former cheer coach myself - students and athletes are distracted by watching moms and dads. Darlene is a master at her craft and takes instruction very seriously. I would be more concerned if she spent all of her time talking to me instead of preparing dancers. Both of my girls love Music in Motion and each of the instructors they have had. I highly recommend this studio to others. read more

Excellent dance instructors with a professional background in the study of dance. There are also some Hip Hop classes offered for adults.

As a parent whose daughters have danced at several studios in town I think it is important to share that the dance instruction from all of the staff is far superior to anything at Golden Slippers or Nice offers across town. I personally took many years of dance and know the difference. And while I too have experienced times that Darlene isn't at her warmest, her dancers are stellar. When observing performances, her senior level dancers are fantastic and many have gone on to dance in college and in major cities. I also can personally say they are most concerned with the dancers safety, development and overall well being. I have never felt it was about money but the opposite--my daughters. If you keep your focus on solid dance instruction you will not be disappointed. read more
