Art In Motion Academy of Dance — Local services in Morris Plains

We attended our FOURTEENTH Art in Motion recital yesterday. There are no words to explain the family that is AIM. Led by Christin, the dancers learn technique while also having fun and making lifelong friends. Unlike large, competitive dance studios, AIM is small, comfortable and easy. Every genre of dance is offered and taught by professional dancers. There are a few negative reviews posted by a few people yesterday and I’m assuming the review was made after the recital - judging someone on their most stressful day of the year, having never met them personally or having had a conversation, is one thing.

I casually mentioned this to Ms Christin during drop off and the next week she brought out an unused costume just for my youngest to wear to the recital.

Those tiny gestures speak volumes to her character and how much she cares about her students and the...

Went to the dance recital last night. The part that cause this negative review was the owner saying at the end that this wasn’t their best work. If the objective of extra activities isn’t to raise up our young ones, why do I pay for my grandchild to do this? I will look for another business to give my money too. If my daughter doesn’t pull her out of this program she will have to foot the bill herself cause I’m not giving another penny to this program. Not to mention if the work wasn’t great what does that say about the owners lack of talents as well. Besides the owner being a professional loud mouth I don’t see much talent...
