City in Motion is more than a dance school, performance series, and professional dance company... we are a community! We DANCE because dance is for everyBODY :)
City in Motion Dance Theater, Inc. was founded with the mission to foster the development of high-quality contemporary dance programming and expand the dance audience in the Kansas City metropolitan region. Over the past 30 years, that mission has evolved to include providing a welcoming, non-competitive home for Kansas Citians of all ages who want to learn any of a number of forms of dance, including ballet, hip hop, jazz, modern, tap, and numerous other ethnic and specialty styles.

I have been taking dance classes at City in Motion for over ten years. They are a great organization that supports everybody at whatever skill level they currently have.

Long time member of the CIM family here and now a long distance zoom student! The Saturday virtual stretch class is a MUST for every single adult 👍🏻 it’s the perfect class to stay strong, stay flexible from the convenience of your own home!

This was our sons first time doing dance, hes 4 years old, and although this place is cute it didn't really provide any structure for him.
The studio is one single room...no office no lobby, jusg an open space. The dance instructor for the toddler class was absolutely phenomenal and patient and kind beyond words. I just wished the class had more structure and redirection in it.
It was more a free for all for the ones who did show up and no one listened to the instructor. Parents here suck and I hope they see this review too. Parents do not know how to keep their children under control.
Not only that but after idk 8 weeks of class MY SON WAS THE ONLY ONE TO SHOW UP FOR THE DANCE RECITAL.
My son was in tears and just wanted to dance with his "friends" and not a single one out of a class of 6 or 7 showed up but my son. He was devastated and this was a huge letdown.
Communications as to when and where the recital would be were kinda of bad.
Instructor did try to dance with Nolan for the recital but he didn't want to do it without his friends.
All in all my son learned nothing but disappointment here.

Best Place to dance and/or learn to dance for adults. New or experienced dancer does not matter. There is no judgement at City In Motion.

I took adult ballet classes around the 2011-2013 timeframe (when their studio was above urban mining off main and Westport) and highly recommend. The gal that taught was epic. I wish I remembered her name but her classes were so much fun yet challenging, not to mention ‘on pointe’ literally and non literally. I believe she had Russian prima ballerina education but I could totally be wrong on that. Helped me so much on my turn out, alignment, posture, and technique.

Retired Army Infantry guy here! I never thought I'd learn to love Modern Dance. Not until I met City in Motion Dance theatre, Inc. From the first performances I watched, I was entranced by the talent and passion of their performance Company. I immediately got into this community and started serving. Their dance classes are inclusive and nuanced to all abilities and ages. Their studios are professionally maintained and fully accessible. City in Motion has incredible KC History, going back almost 40 years. The thing I love most about this organization: it's students, families, volunteers, dancers, choreographers, artistic directors and board of directors directly reflects the diversity, richness, and passion of Kansas City! Next time I'm back in KC, I am stopping by City in Motion.

Lots of fun classes, the teachers are there for you to learn, rather than to just go through the motions.

Offers classes in many different styles, including jazz, tap, ballet, hip hop, and musical theater style. Classes available for all age groups, including adult. Teachers have varied dance backgrounds, and each teacher brings her own personality to the session. Staff and students alike are warm and inviting. It's a little confusing to find the building entrance at first, but staff was able to give directions over the phone. Overall, highly recommend!

The variety of classes is very exciting and everyone at the school is awesome. But the method of payment and signing up is confusing. Also, the website is kind of difficult to navigate. For evening classes, it can be easy to get locked out of the bldg and the front entrance is not well lit. These concern me for safety reasons but are my only complaints.

Took classes here for upwards of 12 years. Provides good dance training that aims away from a traditionally strict ballet or competition dance school. Patient teachers who care about their students and are usually very talented choreographers.

They have affordable classes and great teachers. My own child is young, yet, but I've really appreciated seeing that the older students have grown up here.

My daughter is attending City In Motion pre-ballet classes. She absolutely LOVES the classes, and her new dance "friends". Everyone at the studio has been very friendly, even allowing her to watch the adults rehearsing so my little one can see other dance styles. I see us attending CIM classes for years to come!
