OPEN classes are designed for dancers just beginning their training or more experienced dancers wanting to improve their technique. AMD offers open classes for young dancers starting in kindergarten and work all the way up to our Teen classes. Classes are available in Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, Hip Hop, Tumbling, and Musical Theater.
The age-old image of dancing as girlie, all about the tutus and fairy wings, is gone. Inspired by the likes of Usher and Justin Timberlake, AMD's boys-only hip-hop classes are the new thing in 'cool'. Boys Hip Hop students will learn elements of poppin', locking, and breaking, as well as freestyle movement to give the students the opportunity to develop their own style.
The STARS Performance Team is an Award Winning Beg/Int dance team made up of dancers 3-13 who can't wait to be a STAR! STARS begin working on their routines in August and will debut this fall at the Queen Creek Trunk or treat. Performance opportunities throughout the year will include parades, high school halftime shows, a Major Sporting Event, and a summer trip to Disney!

My daughter has been going to this dance studio for 4 years and could not be happier! The owners and dance instructors truly care about their dancers. From taking one class up to company dancers, they are always willing to help your child grow as a dancer and as a person. Thank you very much for being there.

I have been dancing at this studio since I was 2, and never left because of how amazing the experience is. The entire staff is outstanding and very supportive. The dancers there are really nice, will make you feel welcome, and they support everyone. This is a place you can freely express yourself through dance without being judged by others. I would definitely recommend going to this studio if you are looking for one to go to.

My two daughters both dance at Artistic Motion Dance and have been for the last 11 years, since they were two years old. The studio, teachers, staff and dancers are all amazing, talented, supportive, positive and they genuinely care about each and every dancer. I am so glad that my daughters have this community as their dance family.

I have been dancing at AMD since I was 2 years old now and love everyone there. The staff is super nice but they push me to my fullest ability! I also love the people I take class with because we make so many memories and have a lot of fun times together! I definitely recommend this studio because you get better if you push yourself and take their helpful critiques!

I used to dance here and I have to say Ms Tessley and Ms Nikki were hands down the best dance instructors someone can have. Both them and the students in the classes are very welcoming and the environment in the classes are so fun . I highly recommend taking jazz and lyrical if you're thinking in coming here .
