PERFORMANCE DANCE COMPANY

In Motion is composed of outstanding dancers selected from the center's training program, auditions and invitation. The aim of this dance ensemble is to provide opportunity for these dancers to experience the creative process of a performing organization while refining and expanding their technique and knowledge of the Art of Dance.

The ensemble seeks to make available to the community the widest range of quality dance through lecture-demonstrations, workshops, school, community and professional performances (seasons). We wish to develop a wide repertoire based on classical and contemporary ballet, modern, contemporary, jazz, tap, hip hop and world dance, in order to reach everyone. It is our goal to give each individual a greater appreciation and understanding of the Art of Dance.

Company Director: Nikole LaChioma
Company Ballet Master: Adam Holms

ABOUT THE COMPANY

This pre-professional company was started to provide performance opportunities for talented and gifted young dancers. We are very proud of the accomplishments of our dance ensemble in the past 7 years and look forward to our eighth season! They have performed at local community venues and been invited to dance with professional companies at City Center Dance, DRA Benefits, Solstice In Times Square and the International Dance Festival-NYC 2007. These young dancers have been instructed by prominent dancers and choreographers from notable ballet, modern, jazz and hip hop companies. Our company members take classes from our in-house faculty, guest faculty and receive Master Classes from notable instructors in the field of dance. It is our hope that during our eighth season, we will perform more frequently and achieve a higher level of technical and performance excellence. The ensemble is available for performances, fund raisers and entertainment. Scholarships are given on both a financial and talent basis. If you have any questions please don�t hesitate to contact us.
