In Motion School of Dance     

In Motion

     In Motion has more than doubled in enrollment since its inception.  In Motion is pleased to host qualified instructors; Tricia Moore and Jessica Renzi.  In Motion relocated in 2007 and is no longer located in the YMCA Fairgrounds building.  We can now be found on outer Arsenal Street, next to the Cheese Store.  In Motion now offers classes in two spacious studios, over 900 square feet each!  In Motion is also home to the new Nutcracker!  Beginning in December 2006, In Motion staged and choreographed its own production of The Nutcracker and will continue to bring this holiday ballet classic to the community year after year.  You can contact us at 785-5513 or inmotion@twcny.rr.com.
