Music in Motion Dance Company

Where dedicated dancers grow, perform and belong

The Dance Company gives dedicated dancers expanded opportunities to train, perform and grow beyond the weekly classroom. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we use dance to build confidence, discipline and leadership through education, community outreach and meaningful performance.

The pathway

A team for every stage

The Junior Team

The perfect first step into dance company. For young dancers ages 6 to 10 who are ready for extra performance opportunities, introducing teamwork and stage confidence in a fun, encouraging environment.

Preview Program

A bridge between recreational classes and full company membership, with opportunities for dancers in 1st to 7th grade to experience rehearsals, performances and team culture.

Hip-Hop Teams

Junior Hip-Hop Team, Hip-Hop Team and Boys Crew, for dancers who want to focus on hip-hop without training in multiple genres. Weekly classes, rehearsals, community performances and regional competitions.

Company Team

Our premier performance company for dedicated dancers seeking advanced technical training, artistic growth and leadership. Company members train extensively and represent Music in Motion at regional competitions.

Through the season our dancers perform at community events, senior living communities, charitable events and regional dance competitions, sharing their love of dance across Hampton Roads.
