The In Motion School of Dance, under the direction of Lizz Pimentel, opened its doors in Sept 1997 to let a new era of dance and innovation enter. The school offers a complete dance curriculum ranging in courses for parents and tots to advanced levels, taught by fully qualified instructors. At In Motion, students are encouraged to reach their highest level of skill through individualized attention, to nurture a positive self-image and to appreciate and develop a love for dance. In Motion has presented 7 Concepts In Motion Company performances and 10 Annual Dance Showcases, in addition to performing for several local charitable organizations and for local corporate events. In addition In Motion takes company dancers to New York City and Washington state for classes and workshops with renowned teachers and choreographers annually. Dancers at the school perform both locally and abroad and have had the opportunity to perform at various local and overseas events including Harbour Nights, Eden Project, American Society July 4th Celebrations, the Bermuda Film Festival, the Bermuda Magic Show, the Agricultural Exhibition, Timewarp 2000 Millennium Celebrations, for Amnesty International, the Premier's Concert and Disney World in Orlando! In addition to performing dancers have also had the opportunity to work with dancers from MOMIX, the Royal Ballet, the American Ballet Theatre, Alvin Ailey and the San Jose Ballet. In Motion is dedicated to bringing environmental awareness to its students and has held 10 Annual Trash-a-thons in collaboration with Keep Bermuda Beautiful to help raise money for costumes and educate the students on the importance of maintaining the Islands beauty. To date In Motion has collected over one thousand bags of trash and recyclables from our island and continue to work to Keep Bermuda Beautiful! Starting out with only Lizz teaching and forty students in their original one studio location in Chancery Lane, In Motion has grown tremendously over the past ten years, and has now moved into Bermuda's premier dance facility. With three spacious, air-conditioned studios, and on premise dancewear store "Backstage", the school now houses 6 fully qualified instructors and hundreds of students in the In Motion family. This year In Motion celebrates its fourteenth year of changing the way Bermuda moves and is proud to have become synonymous with professionalism and dance excellence in Bermuda.
