• Social and competitive dancers across the nation are experiencing a rapid elevation in skill level by adding this one study to their regularly scheduled dance classes!
• Elements of movement and timing are broken down piece by piece, practiced individually and then incorporated into a jazz-like routine.
• Motion Study classes are designed to improve all social and competitive dances, including Ballroom, Swing, Latin, Night Club Two Step and Hustle.
• Motion Study classes are one of the most efficient and effective ways to improve balance, control, turning, and timing… and to put a feeling of “magic” into your dancing.
• The Motion Study class, more than anything else, will help your dancing, balance, musical interpretation and control.
• The purpose of the class is to work on isolating areas and elements that enhance your individual dancing. It frees the dancer to discover their creativity without the pressure of worrying about a partner.
• Once you begin to discipline and realize your own dance potential, it is easier to build a successful dance relationship with a partner.
• For advanced dancers and beginners alike, it is a foundation for all syncopations, for styling, and body control in any type of dance.
• Teaches you to dance with your whole body, not just your feet.
• Teaches you to connect your dancing with the music—like the professionals!
• Converts the technique you learn in class into a habit so that you can take it out on the dance floor.
• Is also great exercise for strengthening your waist, torso, hips, and thighs!

Motion Study is great for dancers of all levels as it:

• Eliminates that beginner look, imparts style, and elevates the overall dancing level of experienced dancers who desire to be more dynamic and graceful on the dance floor.
• Saves you a lot of agonizing time and money later on when you want to unlearn bad habits.
• Makes you a more dynamic dancer in all of your dances.
• Makes the difference between amateur dancing and champion dancing!
