Broadway Kids Dance Classes

Arts ‘n Motion offers dance classes for toddlers to adults in the disciplines of ballet, tap, jazz, musical theater and hip hop. The goal of our dance program is to encourage individuality, creativity and a love of dance. Our program focuses on building strong technique as a foundation for becoming a well-rounded dancer proficient in various styles. Arts ‘n Motion’s Broadway Kids presents an end of the year recital as an opportunity for dancers to showcase what they have learned throughout the year. Arts ‘n Motion also has a performance company for the more serious dancer offering additional performance opportunities.
