I rarely leave reviews but when I do, it's because I've discovered a true gem-- and in the case of Sound in Motion, I've found my new dance home and I couldn't be happier. Here are just a few reasons why Sound in Motion has quickly become my absolute favorite dance studio.
1- Heather, the owner, is a phenomenal teacher. I always say that being a good [dancer, choreographer, or any other professional role we take on] is different than being a good teacher. Thankfully, Heather has got both of these down! She is not only a beautiful dancer but a phenomenal teacher. She knows how to explain, demonstrate, and progressively teach difficult dance concepts and movements in a way that you, me, and anyone else in the room can understand regardless of our learning preferences. And her extensive knowledge of anatomy means that she guides your body to safely and functionally do things you never thought it could do. It's thanks to Heather that I can now body roll with the best of 'em and feel more aware of and confident in my body than ever before.
2- The environment at Sound in Motion is one of kindness and acceptance. If you want to become part of a community of like-minded, open-hearted, and genuine people... if you want to try something you've never tried before in a completely judgment-free zone... or if you simply want to increase your sense of connection with other people and feel more alive... Sound in Motion is the place. You will undoubtedly be welcomed in with open arms, just like I was.
3- You get lots of personal attention. Heather's group class format ensures that everyone gets plenty of attention- which means that we learn faster and have the benefit of having personalized guidance from a pro. Every second of class is intentional and well-prepared and I find that I often receive as much personal guidance from Heather in her group classes as I have from other instructors during private (and of course, more expensive) lessons.
4- The space is beautiful- with plenty of room to dance without stepping on anybody's toes, lots of open space to try out that new arm styling you learned from Heather without accidentally hitting your dance friends in the face , and lots of opportunities for fun evening dance socials to practice and show off those new dance skills!
5- Heather is a phenomenal teacher. O woops, did I mention that already? This one is definitely worth mentioning again...! read more
