See Why Movements In Motion Stands Out for Tweens
Compare our Tween Stars dance program with traditional recreational sports and gyms to see how Movements In Motion creates an enriching environment for both personal and physical growth. Here’s what sets us apart for ages 11-13.
Many traditional programs center solely on physical abilities and competition, with limited focus on self-expression and creativity.
Traditional sports can create high-pressure environments where skill level can determine playing time, potentially leaving some participants feeling excluded.
In recreational sports, the emphasis on winning can sometimes overshadow the enjoyment of the activity itself, leading to burnout or discouragement.
In large group settings, personalized feedback is often minimal, with the coach’s attention divided among many players.
Our classes focus on building not just physical skills like strength and flexibility but also creativity and self-expression through dance.
At Movements In Motion, every dancer has the chance to participate fully, building self-confidence and a true sense of inclusion as they learn and grow.
Our classes emphasize the joy of learning new skills, mastering routines, and working as a team—values that encourage lifelong appreciation for movement and growth.
Our smaller class sizes and dedicated instructors ensure that each dancer receives personalized guidance and support, helping them progress at their own pace and strengthen social skills.
Advanced Training in Hip Hop, Jazz, Lyrical & More
Our Tween Stars classes at Movements In Motion are designed to help dancers ages 11-13 advance their skills with targeted training in Hip Hop, Jazz, Lyrical, and other popular styles. Each session encourages dancers to develop technique, rhythm, and strength while exploring the unique challenges of these dynamic forms. With the guidance of skilled instructors and personalized feedback, dancers gain confidence, precision, and artistry. Whether perfecting a routine or tackling new moves, our supportive environment empowers each dancer to reach their potential and discover their unique style.
Purposeful Practice and Precision in Motion
Success in dance is more than mastering physical movements; it’s about building focus and discipline. In our Tween Stars Dance Classes, dancers are encouraged to sharpen their concentration through structured lessons that highlight precision and thoughtful practice. Each dancer learns to set meaningful goals and work toward them with dedication, enhancing both their technique and their understanding of choreography. This process not only strengthens their performance but also nurtures essential skills like perseverance and attention to detail. These qualities become valuable assets, benefiting students beyond the studio and inspiring growth in all they do.
Growing Persistence and Confidence Through Dance
Dance is a powerful path for building resilience and self-discovery. In our Tween Hip Hop, Jazz, and Lyrical classes, students are guided to face challenges head-on and develop the inner strength to keep going. Through consistent practice and the thrill of performance, they learn that persistence pays off and that overcoming setbacks is part of the journey. Our nurturing environment encourages dancers to tackle obstacles with confidence, teaching them to manage stress and stay focused on their goals. These lessons in resilience benefit students both in dance and in everyday life, equipping them with skills that support lifelong growth and self-assurance.
Building a Supportive Dance Community
When dancers join our Tween Dance Classes, they become part of a positive, encouraging community. At Movements In Motion, we foster an atmosphere where students cheer each other on, celebrate individual achievements, and grow together. Our classes emphasize the values of teamwork, respect, and camaraderie, helping dancers build strong bonds and develop a sense of belonging. Through shared challenges and collective goals, students not only strengthen their dance skills but also create friendships and memories that reach beyond the studio. It’s a place where everyone feels valued and connected, contributing to a supportive dance family.

Love this studio my daughter loves it here and is so happy to be back at dance again
Such an amazing studio! My daughter just started this year in Tiny tots, she loves it and so do we! Miss Anna is so great with the kids!
Great dance studio! My daughter loved her first year! She loves her teachers and can’t wait to go back in September!
Amazing dance studio. The best people and teachers. I can’t emphasize enough how patient and compassionate the staff is here. My daughter had an extremely tough time joining in February and was not the best student but the teacher and staff made sure she was able to transition into the class. I can’t say enough how grateful I am for the wonderful people at MIM. They have a life long customer with me and my daughter!
Both of my granddaughter ‘s our in the Hip hop class one very proud Nanny love watching them dance following in there mom’ footsteps both of my Twins took Ballet Jazz and hip hop
Movements In Motion is the best studio around, my daughter started dancing with Genesa when she open up this studio. Krystal loves to dance and she loved to compete, now since she is older she is a teacher at movements in motion and loves it. Genesa has taught my daughter so much over the last 10 years she has been at the studio, and I do believe made her the person she is today. THANK YOU GENESA AND MOVEMENTS IN MOTION!!!
My daughter takes dance here, and we just had her birthday here and it was a blast! Multiple kids’ parents have already texted that their child absolutely loved it, and we could see how much fun they were having throughout. The girls working were all super friendly, helpful, and great with the kids. And from a parent’s perspective, we literally had to do nothing. No setup or cleanup, we just got to talk and mingle with the other parents. I can’t recommend the studio enough for both dance as well as hosting your child’s party!
My granddaughter has been coming here for two years now, and enjoys it immensely. Miss G is an excellent teacher, and she runs a very efficient operation. It’s also very clean! The year end recital is delightful and very well organized, and moves along remarkably quickly considering how many students are involved!
The owner and her team are wonderful! My daughter had the best shimmer and shine birthday party last October. Our guests from our daughter’s birthday party are still talking about it one year later. 🙂 …
Such a fun place to dance! Relaxed, energetic, and always something new. Wonderful studio with an owner who really cares about her students.
