Art Motion Dance Studio - Nepean, Ontario

It's clear the teachers at Art Motion are exceptionally passionate about dance and above all want their students to succeed. I am surprised their rates aren't higher due to their dedication, time devoted and expertise. Andre and I did their wedding package lessons and also did some of the beginner courses.

As someone who really enjoys dancing and wanted to look like Dancing with the Stars for our first dance, this was the perfect environment for us to learn and aspire. Andre also took to it well so we want to continue lessons here even though our wedding is over! The teachers are really accommodating to new dancers, and all the students are so sweet and supportive.

Can (pronounced Jun) did the majority of our first dance choreography. He was so collaborative, a skilled dancer, great at explaining things in a simple way, and also perceptive of our dance abilities and knowing what would suit us. He went above and beyond to help us achieve our goals. Art Motion is so lucky to have him!

Joining Art Motion Dance Studio was by far the best decision we ever made for our kids! From the very first class, they felt loved and encouraged, and their confidence has grown with every lesson. What started as one hip-hop class a week has turned into six days of dancing hip-hop, jazz, latin and standard ballroom at a recreational as well as a competitive level. It has truly become our favourite place to spend our time.
The instructors are not only talented professional dancers but also incredible coaches who genuinely care about each student’s growth. They also constantly seek out opportunities to bring in world-class coaches for special workshops, giving students exposure to the best in the industry.
Our kids are challenged to be their best in a fun and nurturing environment, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a dance family! ❤️

When my now-wife and I signed up for dance lessons a couple months ago in preparation for our wedding, I never would have thought that we'd be able to pull off the first dance routine that we did.

I had never taken dance lessons before and certainly never danced in the style of our routine. Our instructor John did an incredible job putting us at ease and giving us all the tools we needed to nail our first dance. From the moment we were introduced it was clear that he's a kind, fun and patient instructor.

We came with the ambitious idea of a two-part dance featuring very different songs, and he crafted the perfect approach for us, teaching us enough waltz and swing moves for a great routine that was fun to practice and enjoyable for our guests to watch. He broke down what would have seemed like an intimidating, even unattainable task, into digestible pieces that boosted our confidence at every lesson. And all this with just five lessons!

We are proud of what we accomplished and very grateful for John's support.

Laura & Miche have created such a warm, nurturing & wonderful place to discover all the possibilities in my appreciation & enjoyment of dance. They make every dance routine so much fun, that I can't help but want to follow their every step. And I’m so grateful to all the incredible students who are so kind, helpful & inspiring along the way.

From the moment everyone welcomed me into the studio, I was captured by the joy and excitement they feel about dance… it’s absolutely contagious. Art Motion is simply the best dance studio in Ottawa!

You know that really nervous feeling you get when you walk into a dance studio? The kind that makes you question why you're even doing this to yourself? You won't get those here. You will feel welcome, relaxed and part of the family right from the start. Whether you are a dance veteran, trying a new style or brand new to the dance world, I cannot recommend Art Motion enough. Not only are the a ballroom and Latin studio, they offer a diverse variety of classes that are great to take weekly or whenever you have the time. Seriously, give Misha and Laura a call. You won't regret it.

We were so well prepared for our wedding dance after our lessons with Laura! Laura created a routine that worked best for us and helped us feel comfortable to pull it all off! Laura is a fantastic and empathetic teacher!

I saw how the instructors at Art Motion teach and treat their students, highly professional and supportive, fun and mellow with all. This is one of the few places i would choose to learn, support, and recommend anyone i know to join. Kind people are my kind of people. <3

I have danced my whole life so I have had many experiences with teachers and studios over the years. Laura and Misha, the owners, are two of the most knowledgeable, talented, and non-intimidating teachers I have ever had the pleasure of taking class from. Their beautiful studio is a place where you'll feel comfortable, yet motivated and challenged at the same time. Before you know it, your technique will have improved and you'll realize you had an absolute blast getting there.
