MOTTO DANCE PROGRAMS
At MOTTO Dance Company, we believe every dancer deserves a place to shine—whether they’re here to have fun, grow their confidence, or compete at the highest level. Our programs are designed to meet your dancer where they’re at and help them take the next step in their journey.
No matter which program you choose, every dancer performs in our June Year-End Recital—because every beginning deserves a beautiful finale.

DANCE STYLES WE OFFER
ACRO
Acro combines the strength and flexibility of gymnastics with the artistry of dance. Students learn balance, tumbling, and control while performing with grace to music. Think flips, tricks, and flow—all in one.
BALLET
The foundation of dance. Ballet builds posture, strength, flexibility, and poise. With barre work, centre practice, and beautiful choreography, dancers gain technique that supports every other style.
TAP
Feet as instruments! Tap teaches dancers to create rhythm and sound with metal-tipped shoes, building musicality, timing, and coordination—all while having fun.
JAZZ
Sharp, energetic, and expressive—jazz blends technical training with big movements, jumps, and turns. It’s upbeat, dynamic, and perfect for dancers who love to perform with personality.
LYRICAL
Fluid and expressive, lyrical combines the technique of ballet with the emotion of jazz and contemporary. Dancers connect deeply to the music, often telling stories through movement.
CONTEMPORARY
Creative, unique, and full of freedom. Contemporary blends ballet, modern, and jazz techniques, often exploring shapes, floor work, and new ways of moving. It’s all about individuality and self-expression.
HIP HOP
High-energy, fun, and powerful—hip hop lets dancers explore breaking, locking, popping, and other street-inspired styles. Set to current hits and classics, it builds confidence, rhythm, and stage presence.
