My two daughters have been attending IMDC for three years and one year, and they absolutely love it! IMDC offers a wide variety of classes and is very well organized. The positive and supportive environment has helped both of my daughters build confidence, strength, and valuable skills. A special thank you to Miss Alex, who is incredibly kind and patient. My daughters adore her and always look forward to her classes. Her encouragement and dedication have made such a positive impact on their experience. Thank you to everyone at IMDC! We are extremely pleased with our experience and highly recommend IMDC to other families. read more

Love the community created by the studio and the commitment to a safe space to grow! My dancers are thriving here and learning positive life skills that will have a lasting impact on their lives. Thank you In Motion Dance Center! read more

We've been part of In Motion Dance Center for the past 4 years, starting with recreational classes and eventually joining the competitive team and it's been an incredible journey. The studio is full of positivity, and the teachers are supportive, talented, and truly care about each dancer's growth. Our daughter is thriving, building skills, confidence, and lifelong friendships and always excited to come to class. The sense of community is strong, and it genuinely feels like a second home. We're so grateful to be part of such a nurturing and inspiring environment read more

Do you want a studio that loves to play favorites (especially if you are a cheerleader, you can miss months of team rehearsals and it's okay), then this studio is for you! Do you want a studio that raises rates and doesn't put money back into the studio, then this studio is for you! Do you want an owner/director to not show up to community events (Holiday parade and 4th of July Parade or even Disneyland when her studio is there, then this studio is for you!!! Do you want a studio that hires former students to teach, with no proper training or a degree in dance, then this studio is for you! Do you want a studio owener that loves to put children down instead of building them up, then this studio is for you! read more

The director, Cynthia, breeds a toxic culture. The environment is not good for young growing girls that already, inadvertently, have self esteem issues as they are young, developing and still trying to figure themselves out. She plays favorites and will quickly boot girls from the comp team if you try and express anything you find negative. Advise is to pass on this toxic place. read more

My daughter is 9 years old and has been taking classes here for 3 years. This is such a positive enthusiastic place for girls and boys to learn dance. They are also welcome to people with different needs. Ms Alex is the best (although my daughter hasn't taken too many classes from other teachers!). Love In Motion! They have a spectacular dance performance once a year that everyone looks forward to--the older girls doing acrobat and other styles are truly impressive! read more

For the past several years, my daughter has danced at IMDC. Cynthia and her team provide a nurturing environment for all levels of dance. They offer a variety of classes for all ages, there is something for everyone! My daughter has explored many genres of dance and receive advanced training as she has gotten older. We have been very happy with the growth she has shown as a dancer. Cynthia took over the studio several years ago, and as a parent, I have been pleased with the elevated levels of training my daughter has experienced. Outside of the regular class schedule, Cynthia also offers various master classes and chances for the comp team to work with guest choreographers. We are very happy to be part of the IMDC family and highly recommend the studio!!! read more

I wanted to leave a review as a former father's dancer, since everyone who has left a review are mainly women. This is no doubt a good studio to learn how to dance for children. All the teachers are absolutely wonderful. My only and biggest complaint is that EVERY year, the dance recital and rehearsal is on Father's Day, and/or Father's Day weekend. They could choose the weekend before or after, but no, let's make it on dad's day for 4 hours every year. As a father you want to see your child dance, but not on your one day. So if you ladies want to send your kids to good dance studio, better tell your husband that he won't get a Father's Day while at In-motion. read more

Love this dance studio and the teachers!!! My daughter has been going here for 2 years now and loves it!!

My baby loved her ballet class. She's turning 3 soon, I remembered her first day she cried for almost like 30 mins but now we can even leave her there for 2 hours. She enjoyed princess camp so much and she loved doing crafts as well. They had this mini performance at the end of the week unfortunately, we didn't get to see her dance she got stranger anxiety and she saw alot of people watching so she ended up just watching her friends. (Hopefully she gets used to other people soon ) read more

My daughter loves dancing here and the teachers and staff are very friendly and works well with all the students

Amazing studio with spectacular instructors and students! The caliber of instruction along with the quality and quantity of classes far exceeds any other studio in the area! Warm and family-friendly environment for dancers of all ages. Can't be beat!! read more

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. I wish I could leave negative stars here. The receptionist was rude when I called to schedule a tour of the studio. I had mentioned that I saw In Motion and another local dance studio's performances at the Martinez 4th of July Parade and the lady I spoke with proceeded to bash the other dance studio. I found it very unprofessional and petty, especially since both studio's goals should be the impact they have on the lives of the children they teach, not who thinks what about who. In Motion seems drama filled and that's not the influence i want my children to have. read more

Just finishing up year three for my daughter (8), and it has all been a wonderful experience. Deena and David are amazing- organized and patient (with parents and kids- lol). I most appreciated that they kept the outfits appropriate and classy. They never put young girls in hooker gear like many of the other studio's we saw at other competitions. Wonderful people, wonderful place! read more

I have been dancing at InMotion since it has opened. This is one of the best studios I have ever been to. I have grown so much as not only a dancer, but as a person. The staff is so energetic, helpful, and inspiring. I have been given so many opportunities to preform beautiful classical pieces and award winning dances. It is now my senior year, and I couldn't be happier to spend my last year here. If you want to dance, this is the place to be! read more

See all

My 2 Teens have been At In Motion Dance Center from the Beginning. I will keep my Review Simple " In Motion Dance Center Main focus is For the LOVE of Dance and to Teach" Other areas of this Studio like the Recitals, Cleanliness, Safety and fee's have been handled very well I have not had any negative experiences. read more

My Daughter and Son both love to dance. The instructors at In Motion Dance Center are wonderful with the kids. The Dance Recital is priceless! If you are looking for a Dance Studio? You will love In Motion Dance Center! read more

Attended my niece's ballerina dance party here. My almost 2 year old couldn't quite partake in all of the activities provided but she loved every minute dancing/playing with those big girls. Deena was patient and efficient with all of the birthday festivities. read more

My daughter has been dancing at In Motion for 4 years. In Motion is our second home and our second family! The wide variety of dance teachers and dance styles keeps her wanting more! The new expansion area is amazing and more than we could have asked for! Deena & David, the Studio Owners, are ALWAYS available and happy to help the parents with whatever we need! My daughter wouldn't think of dancing anywhere else!! We are extremely happy at In Motion and our daughter will continue to dance there as long as possible! read more

In Motion is now owned by Cynthia Berning, but contains the same wonderful qualities. The teachers are good at getting the best out of their students and encouraging them along their dance journey. They have 4 studios and a REALLY good website, which is especially helpful when deciding on classes. Overall an amazing studio, no problems. Definitely recommend. read more

I posted this on Yahoo! Local back in 2006: This is by far the best dance experience my daughter has had. She has tried other studios only to want to quit after the first lesson or two. Deena is a wonderful teacher and takes a personal interest in each child. She is full of positive reinforcement. I am amazed at how far my daughter has come since September! She is tapping everywhere we go. Great place to send your kids for all types of dance, cheering, gymnastics, etc. A+++++++++ 2012: We are now nearing the time when we need to start thinking about college auditions and I know that Deena and her amazing staff will prepare my daughter to the fullest extent possible over the next 3 years and that she will do well in her college auditions. I am so thankful we enrolled at In Motion that opening summer. My daughter loves her IMDC family and I love our Dance Moms! read more

We love In Motion. My daughter loves it and the teachers are so great with the kids!

Very professional atmosphere, clean and organized. Amazing owners, my daughter has learned not only every genre of dance but life lessons as well. Couldn't be more happy to have a local studio for my princess and her friends. Highly recommend this studio for beginners as well as experienced dancers! read more

I take an adult class at In Motion. Great teachers and facility! I have taken from other studios in the area and find In Motion the best. Classes run on time, good communication from studio to students, wonderful teachers and lots of fun families! read more

My oldest daughter has been dancing here for 6 years and 2 years for my youngest. They absolutely love going to dance class and learn wonderful technique as well as having a great time! The owners are very professional, courteous and helpful to all of their dancers and families. We love it here and will always dance at In Motion! read more

Great studio with a wide variety of classes. My girls love coming here! Deena and David are always warm and friendly and are very helpful and accommodating. read more

My daughter had been dancing here going on 6 years. She loves this place. This is her second year of comp and all I can say Mrs. Deena and her staff are so talented! We are so proud to be part of a studio that care about their routines and the kids and also works hard to get the highest rewards at comp! I highly recommend In Motion Dance Center! read more

We "stopped by" In Motion four years ago hoping to fix my daughter's pigeon toes for gymnastics. Little did we know that we would all fall in love with the place! Ms. Deena is an amazing teacher and a gifted choreographer. She makes dance a highlight of each week for all of our children and treats the parents like family. Her love of dance and people makes for a warm, inviting atmosphere. It's awesome to be part of a community where the teachers are happy and love their job. read more

We love In Motion Dance Center! This is our third year with the studio, and we would recommend them to anybody. The instructors and owners are absolutely fabulous - so very creative, encouraging and patient. They love what they do, and it truly shows in everything they do from the weekly classes to the end of year recital and all the special little touches they do throughout the season. read more
