Our three competitive TeaMS enhance a dancer’s strengths while building their technique, confidence, performance quality, and team attitude. The Industry Company is geared towards the serious aspiring dancer, striving to achieve a professional career in dance. Our Movement Company aims to provide artistic movement paired with musicality, precision, and performance. And for our youngest movers, Mini Company connects dancers to inspiring instructors, building a functional foundation for budding little artists! We also offer recreational classes to help students stay fit while having fun, leading up to the Annual Revue in June each season. In addition, we perform through the DC metropolitan area at a variety of festivals, productions, and school events. If you’d like to include The Movement Studios in your next event, please contact nicole@TMSdance.com!
