In Motion

In Motion has more than doubled in enrollment since its inception in the Summer of 2000. We are pleased to host qualified and experienced instructors. The studio can be found on outer Arsenal St. (NYS Rt. 3) and shares a parking lot with the Cheese Store. Parking is available on both sides of our building. In Motion offers classes in two spacious dance studios, over 900 sq. ft. each! In December 2006, the dance school staged and choreographed its own rendition of The Nutcracker. The production continues to expand on the stage and in the audience as it becomes a North Country tradition. In 2011, the ballet looks to become a part of the Yellow Ribbon Events that take place across the area, offering a military discount on ticket sales. We strive to continue to be the area's best choice for dance education, making improvements to our studio, our curriculums, our productions, and so much more!
