Reviews of Art In Motion Richmond Dance Academy (Dance School)

Cathie Smith

AIM has given my daughter so much self confidence. All the dancers here are so supportive of one another. Every dance instructor we have worked with here is so kind hearted and truly love each of their students .My daughter started dancing their a year ago and Art In Motion is already a part of our family. I highly recommend them to all our family and friends.

Miss. Katie who is a very young instructor is very uninformative. There is NO communication between the instructor and the student/parent. Never do you get a bill, a receipt, notices in the mail for events, etc. When I signed my daughter up it cost $65.00. That was for the 1st month & her costume. Never did they tell u that its $25 a month fee & all the details that come with being a dancer at AIM. Also the forms they use for everything there are sooo unprofessional. The costume we received had an issue....of course it was up to us to fix it. Then that made the whole picture ordeal a big deal. The place is so unprofessional with NO, and I mean NO communication, please think twice before signing up at this place. We are not the only family that thinks this either. I know it costs to dance, but with no communication, and people who don't know hardly anything on the phone either. Ya you do get upset. Think twice maybe three times! There are other studios in Richmond here! Have a good Day! :) angry customer

My three kids have been dancing here now for a about a year now. My wife and I have always been in the know as to what the costs are as well as anything else. Their facilities are a little rough, but my kids love it.

Art in Motion is a fabulous dance studio. Our daughter is 14. She started their with just one class when she was 12. The first year she only took one class. The second year she took two. This year she took all we could fit into her freshman schedule and it was wonderful. We drive 30 minutes each way to get to Richmond, and it is worth every minute. Catie Campbell-Cormier is a fabulous instructor. Our daughter's growth has been amazing in the three years with Miss Catie. People ask how long she has been dancing, and they cannot believe she learned all she has in that short time. The staff at Art in Motion is like a family. It is a family owned and operated business I know, but even the teachers who are not related treat everyone like family. It is a relaxed atmosphere, no pressure, but the instruction is firm and encouraging. If I ever have any questions about tuition, costumes, rehearsals, whatever, Catie or one of her awesome staff members can help me quickly. I am thankful that we found ART in MOTION, Richmond Dance Academy. And we recommend them to EVERYONE looking for a fun, fabulous place to learn to dance.

Positive instruction. Positive environment. Your child will feel loved!!! I am impressed with the ballet program. The lead director and choreographer continuously improves her education and brings that knowledge to the students. Every year, the studio has taken customer feedback and improved upon its policies. Mandatory costs (tuition, costumes, and fees) are clearly defined upfront (one must read the information). Affordable dance instruction when compared to other studios.

I have been an Art In Motion dancer since the studio first opened. The studio is owned and operated by an AMAZING family and I couldn't be happier to have met them and now call them my friends and my Art In Motion family. All of the people at Art In Motion ARE a family. The staff, the students, and even parents are such an important part of my life now, I doubt I will ever leave. AIM has created an amazing place for girls and boys to learn and grow. I was given the opportunity to teach at the studio my senior year of high school (Summer 2009) and have been doing so ever since. The main reason: I have seen young girls that had low self-esteem and "whatever" attitudes completly transform. Now I see the same young girls -stronger, with confidence, and a passion for dancing- coming to the studio excited just to be there. It is one of the most special things I have been able to be a part of, and that is why I love Art In Motion.

Art in Motion is a wonderful, family friendly studio. There is truly something for everyone and the instruction is top notch!

My daughter is 2 and a half and we were hoping to get her in a class just for fun. After being less than impressed with the instruction for her age group, I tried to get ahold of someone to ask questions about her class. Took two weeks, one email and three phone calls before someone finally got in touch with me. the girls that work the desk never have any information. Very poor business practices and communication skills. We went elsewhere.

Love this dance studio! My daughter has danced here for a year, she completed 1 year of tiny tots classes. While I do think the billing/payment system could be upgraded, we still LOVE the studio! Ms. Morgan has the patience of a saint with my young and crazy dancer. My daughter absolutely loved her and all of the kind staff at AIM. Any time I have questions they always find me an answer as quickly as possible.

My kids have been dancing at AIM for the last 5 years, and we love it there. The teachers care so deeply about the dancers and all of my children have learned so much more then dance from being a part of this studio. We couldn’t be happier being part of the AIM family.
