About us
Our Vision
Art & Motion Studio has been created with the aim of contributing to the artistic development of people of all ages and discovering healthy ways to express emotions through dance. For children and teenagers, we aim to train, educate and embark young minds and bodies on a journey of classical art, in which they will discover the beauty of ballet in a safe environment. For adults and older people, our goal is to keep those spirits inspired through music and movement, offering a wide range of activities that revitalize the body.
Our Values
In Art & Motion Studio, it is essential to cultivate a series of values that are crucial for both the artistic and personal development of the students. Respect is the foundation of all interactions, whether between students, teachers, or staff. This value fosters an environment where everyone feels valued and heard, promoting a positive learning atmosphere.
Discipline is another crucial pillar. Ballet requires constant dedication and a commitment to continuous improvement. Discipline is not only reflected in punctuality and adherence to rules but also in the perseverance and personal effort each student invests in their daily training.
Camaraderie is vital to creating a supportive and motivating environment. Encouraging mutual support and teamwork helps students develop in a setting where they feel part of a community. This sense of belonging is key to the emotional and social growth of the dancers.
Ethics are indispensable in all actions and decisions within the school. Acting with integrity, honesty, and responsibility ensures that all members of the school community uphold high standards of behavior and professionalism. Ethics are reflected in respect for others' property, honesty in self-evaluation and the evaluation of others, and in the responsibility each student takes for their own learning and development.
Together, these values create an environment where students can thrive both as artists and as individuals, prepared not only for the stage but also for the challenges of everyday life.
