The Schedule

Eight disciplines. One floor. Every age welcome.

From first-position ballet at age three to advanced hip-hop choreography at nineteen, every class at Bodies In Motion is taught by a professional instructor who believes discipline and joy belong in the same room.

Ballet

Classical technique, built over time.

Ballet is the foundation of every other form of dance, and we teach it with the seriousness it deserves. Classes move from first positions and basic barre work through advanced variations, with separate tracks for recreational and pre-professional students.

Who it's for: Ages 3 through adult, all levels
What to expect: Barre, center, across-the-floor, combinations

Pointe

For dancers who've earned it.

Pointe is not an age milestone — it's a strength milestone. Our instructors place students on pointe only when their ankles, cores, and technique are ready to support the work safely.

Who it's for: Advanced ballet students by instructor approval
What to wear: Professionally fitted pointe shoes

Tap

Rhythm you can hear from the hallway.

Tap is musicianship you wear on your feet. Our classes build from basic time steps through complex rhythmic phrasing, with a strong emphasis on listening and musical vocabulary.

Who it's for: Ages 5 through adult
What to expect: Time steps, flaps, wings, and musical improvisation

Jazz

The American musical tradition.

Jazz classes develop the strength, flexibility, musicality, and performance quality that every Broadway and commercial dancer needs. Expect isolations, leaps, and big personality.

Who it's for: Ages 6 through adult
What to expect: Warm-up, isolations, combinations, performance work

Hip-Hop

Philly street funk, taught right.

This isn't studio hip-hop diluted for recitals. Our hip-hop program is taught by working Philadelphia dancers and grounded in the culture the form came from.

Who it's for: Ages 6 through adult
What to expect: Foundations, freestyle, and choreography

Praise Dance

Movement as worship.

Praise dance is a discipline in its own right, blending liturgical tradition with modern and ballet technique. Our class is one of the few in the region taught at a serious technical level.

Who it's for: Ages 6 through adult
What to expect: Liturgical vocabulary, modern technique, performance

Acrobatics

Flexibility, strength, fearlessness.

Acro is more than tumbling — it's the controlled strength that lets dancers take safe, spectacular risks on stage. Progressions are always supervised and never rushed.

Who it's for: Ages 5 through teens
What to expect: Conditioning, flexibility, tumbling progressions

Technique & Turns

The class that makes every other class click.

A focused supplemental class for dancers who want to level up their turns, extensions, and body alignment across every style they study.

Who it's for: Intermediate and advanced students
What to expect: Alignment, pirouettes, leaps, extension work

Invitational

The BIM Dance Company.

The BIM Dance Company is our award-winning hip-hop and street-funk performance group for students ages six and up. Company members train at a higher intensity, perform throughout the year, and represent Bodies In Motion on stages across the region. Placement is by instructor invitation.

Policies worth reading.

Every class matters. There are no refunds or credits for missed classes. Students more than ten minutes late may be asked to observe rather than join, for their safety and their classmates' focus.

When the weather turns, call the studio before you travel. We try to balance safety with the reality that different neighborhoods see different conditions — we know the Tri-State Area can look four different ways on the same afternoon.

Every class has its own dress code. Download the full document below — it covers leotards, tights, shoes, and hair for each discipline. Comfortable athletic wear is fine for your first class.

Registration fees and costume deposits are non-refundable once paid. Missed classes are not transferable. We keep this simple so we can keep tuition reasonable.
