OUR MISSION

At Dance Motionz, we are on a mission to ignite the power within every child we have the honor to teach. We believe in the transformative power of dance—not just as an art form, but as a powerful tool to build unshakable self-confidence, discipline, and a sense of purpose.

Through every leap, turn and step we empower kids, ages 2-18, to discover their unique talents, unlock their full potential, and become the best versions of themselves.

OUR COMMUNITY

In our vibrant, supportive community, we nurture not only incredible dancers, but individuals who are confident, driven, and ready to take on life’s challenges. The skills of teamwork, dedication, and perseverance they learn here will stay with them forever—no matter where life takes them. At Dance Motionz, we’re not just shaping dancers; we’re shaping future leaders, dreamers, and achievers.

“Any child who studies dance, whether or not she becomes a dancer, will stand taller and walk prouder all of her life and know the meaning of discipline and commitment to excellence.”

FOUNDER STORY

Dance Motionz was born out of a deep passion for empowering the next generation through dance, self-confidence, discipline, and dedication. After years of teaching at various dance studios, leading the outreach dance program at Whitworth University, and traveling to teach masterclasses, I realized it was finally time to open my own studio. In 2012, Dance Motionz came to life. What makes our studio unique is not just the dance training, but the approach I bring—rooted in my background growing up in Southern California and my degree in elementary education.

I’ve always loved working with kids, and my ability to teach, educate, organize and communicate goes beyond just dance technique. I believe in investing in my dance teachers just as much as I do in students, which is why I’m not only the mentor to my students, but also to my staff. Every member of our team participates in monthly continuing education training sessions I host that encourage keeping creativity in the dance room, positive classroom management, and activities to build self-confidence and community. This commitment to nurturing both dancers and educators sets us apart from other studios and is the core of what makes Dance Motionz a special place to grow.
