The Movement advantage: The Movement will teach you to survive and thrive in competitive environments. Competitive dance offers us the perfect opportunity to become successful in life skills that serve us long after we finish with the world of competitive dance.

Preparation: Success is nine tenths preparation.
A professional standard is The Movement standard, in class, in rehearsal, and on stage!
We attend top level competitions and conventions, and provide quality theatrical opportunities.
Technique: Team members will have the opportunity to work with professional choreographers, teachers, receive priority placement in Master Classes, and
preference in private scheduling.
Plus, partnering as well as solo, duet, and trio opportunities.
Alliances: Team Members will learn more than how to make friends and develop social skills. They will learn how to create productive and healthy relationships.
This is one of our highest priorities.

should speak to Nikole Smith, after attending:

Dear Parents
We are very excited that your child is considering auditioning to be a member of The Movement. They will make new friends and enjoy learning how to become successful and thrive in competitive environments.

Teaching a child to feel confident in competitive situations requires a team effort between teacher, parent and child. If any member of that team is looking for ways to cut corners or doing whats only convenient to them, the result is a foregone conclusion.

We have a history of success and we want to share that knowledge with your family.

The Movement “I want to join!”
