I have worked wirh dancers and dance studios for many years as a professional performing arts teacher/director and as a performer. When our family decided to put our granddaughter into a dance program at the age of 2, we wanted a studio that provided a nurturing and caring environment and not a competitive atmosphere. I knew the importance of having professionals who wanted to foster a love for dance and Miss Angie, Miss Lacie and the entire team do exactly that. Our granddaughter has grown so much in her coordination, balance, rhythm and listening skills. She has made friends and her confidence has blossomed. She began with ballet and now does ballet and tap. I believe she will have a lifetime love for dance and performing. I heartily recommend this studio and their staff. They communicate very well and one can tell they are vested in their students. A+
Love Mountain Movers, they are so loving and caring of all their dancers. This is my daughter's first time doing any type of dance classes and she has completely falling in love with dance. They are very spiritual and love the lord and that is incorporated in everything they do. This is a great dance school to start your kids off in dancing they will truly learn a lot.

My children have flourished under their guidance and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dance studio that will become like family. Check them out and join the Mountain Movers dance family!
Ms Angie is the most amazing teacher! She along with Ms. Lacie have taught my daughter since she was 3. Ms. Angie has taught my daughter excellent technique in all genres of dance . She helped shape my daughter into the successful, confident young lady that she is today. I can not recommend her enough!
Ms. Angie and Ms. Lacie have been teaching my daughter about dance, life and everything in between since she was four years old. They are the most caring, passionate, and fun dance teachers a parent could wish for their child!
Their ability to get kids moving and keep kids moving builds strength, confidence and a love for dance. I am so blessed that they are a part of my daughter’s life, and so grateful for all the life lessons they’ve taught her over the years. She is a confident, strong eleven year old who knows her body can do amazing things, if she puts her heart into it! Highly recommend!!
Mountain Movers is amazing! I love their mission. I love their philosophy and you can tell they generally care about the children. As a mom of three and a preschool teacher who actively works with children; It’s really important to me to have someplace that sees my child as a person not just a participant. Owners Ms. Angie and Ms. Lacie have created an amazing dance program! Give them a try I promise you will not be disappointed ❤️
The Open House over the summer was wonderful! My daughter and I knew immediately that this was home, these were our people, and the love for the students was evident. Mountain Movers is more than dance. My daughter is learning body positivity! The teachers are fun and welcoming. The studio is very clean and tidy. If you are looking for somewhere for your child to dance, but to also learn to love themselves and others around them- this is THE studio! 💜💚💜💚
Miss Angie and Miss Lacie are extraordinary people. There is no one more dedicated to the happiness of the whole child. They both have “super powers”. That’s the only way I can explain it. The love, support, generosity and kindness as human beings spills over to their teaching. They build up the student. Build their self esteem, teach them how to be independent while also being part of a team. They teach the student to compete only against them selves and to lift your fellow classmates up. If you haven’t already given them a chance you don’t know what you are missing. I love both of these ladies with my whole heart. I would highly recommend letting your child experience this kind of greatness. They are like no other instructors.
I have had the pleasure of knowing them for over 25 years. My daughter is now a teacher because of the love and support she received from Miss Angie. They are truly lovely people.
Such an awesome place for dance!! Ms. Lacey and Ms. Angie are amazing teachers and we’re back for year 2! Very affordable classes and the recital was amazing for a first year! I can’t wait to see this year’s!!
We love MMCA. My daughter has taken dance classes there for this whole season. She has gained self confidence along with learning and perfecting certain techniques. Angie and Lacie have been such wonderful and loving teachers. We just finished our first summer camp and my daughter was so excited to tell me what all they did and was eager to go back the next day! On the last day parents got to come early and see what they had learned. If you are looking for a loving and supportive dance family, look no further!
