Modern Motion Dance Company
Boosting Confidence and Nurturing Creativity
Modern Motion Dance Company is composed of like-minded dancers that are looking to focus on improving and strengthening their dance technique, enjoy more performance opportunities, develop as an artist, and participate in community service as a group. Modern Motion Dance Company is not a competitive dance program.
Students must be invited to participate in the program. Invitations are based on auditions, current class interactions with their teachers (including attitude and work ethic), attendance, commitment to dress code, and interactions with their classmates.

Our Company Levels

It is our policy to offer appropriate opportunities to every child. Placement decisions are derived from many years of teaching experience. Placement is highly individual and the factors that go into the decision are complex.

Our Company Teachers
We believe the discipline of dance training gives young people a better understanding of commitment through learning, experiencing the spirit of teamwork, and discovering what they can accomplish through hard work. Our goal is to educate the minds, bodies, and souls of our students, teaching them the skills needed for a successful life.
