Dear Parents and Students,

We are very excited and extremely proud to announce Dance in Motion is now under new ownership. Nicole Chapleo, Amy Mihal, Jo Slingerland and Carol Hart have joined Leigh Lee as co directors of Dance in Motion. Our goal is to provide a safe, secure and happy environment where dancers can develop their love for dance. The faculty at dance in motion will consist of teachers and mentors who bring out the best in their students by motivating and inspiring them, whether it is through the introduction to the wonderful world of dance, to the once a week dancer or the child who wishes to train extensively. We will be sensitive to the individual needs of each of our students but also provide a controlled and disciplined environment that is conducive to learning. We would like to thank you for your continued business and support. We are very excited and look forward to many wonderful years with you and your child/ren. - posted Friday, June 04, 2010

competitive programs

The dancers who participate in the Competitive program at Dance in Motion will take a variety of classes in areas such as ballet, tap, jazz, musical theatre, acrobatics and hip-hop. This is a serious program that requires hard work and commitment. Dance in Motion requires that the dancers and parents are team players and work together for the success of the entire studio!

The dancers that are in the competitive level will participate in three to four competitions over the course of the dance season and will perform in the Studio and Company Year End Shows.

The Dance in Motion Youth Company consists of 5 different levels... Ruby, Jade, Quartz, Topaz and Onyx.

CORE CLASSES

  • Ballet
  • Jazz / Lyrical / Contemporary / Hip-Hop
  • Tap
  • Musical Theatre / Stage
  • Acro

REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPETITIVE

In order to participate in the various company levels, the following classes are mandatory:

Ruby- Jazz Tech and 2 Ballet classes
Jade- Jazz Tech and 2 Ballet classes
Quartz- Jazz Tech and 1 Ballet Class
Topaz- Jazz Tech and 3 Ballet Classes
Onyx- Jazz Tech and 3 Ballet Classes

recreational programs

The youth programs at Dance in Motion include classes in ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, acro, and musical theatre! Many performance classes will participate in a local dance competition in Abbotsford as to get a chance to perform once before the studio's Year End Show! We encourage dancers in the recreational youth program to be dedicated and work just as hard as our competitive students.

Dance in Motion promotes the healthy growth of it's students and encourages their parents to support it's efforts in doing so! Developing the passion, integrity, confidence and strength in young dancers is our number one priority.
