Why Mini Movers Dance Classes Stand Out
Dance provides more than just physical activity—it supports your child’s growth in every aspect, from physical strength to emotional and social development. See how our Mini Movers classes at Mountain Movers Creative Arts compare to traditional sports and gyms, and discover how dance offers a well-rounded experience that helps children thrive.
Traditional sports often focus mainly on physical performance, missing opportunities to nurture creativity, emotional intelligence, and character-building.
Less-experienced players may receive less attention or playtime in competitive sports, leaving some kids feeling left out or discouraged.
Competitive pressure in sports can shift the focus from enjoyment to the stress of winning or meeting performance expectations.
Large teams often mean coaches can’t provide personalized guidance, which can slow individual progress.
Our Mini Movers classes support physical fitness, emotional expression, and creative growth, helping children become confident and well-rounded individuals.
Every child is celebrated in our classes, with equal opportunities to learn, grow, and shine—on the dance floor and in performances.
Our dance classes emphasize personal achievements, creativity, and the joy of learning, fostering a positive and rewarding experience.
With smaller class sizes, our instructors provide one-on-one guidance and encouragement, helping each child reach their potential at their own pace.

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! 💜💚💜💚
We absolutely love mountain movers! My 3 year old daughter just started her second class and she loves it. The teachers are amazing and so patient. We look forward to doing our first recital. Classes are very affordable and different days and times to fit all different schedules
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!!
Miss Angie was my dance teacher from age 8 all the way to my senior year of high school. She loves what she does and is absolutely amazing! I’m happy to still have a relationship with her to this day. I would highly recommend her.
Mountain movers is an amazing and inclusive option for young kids! My son take tap/ballet and jazz/acro here and Ms. Angie and Ms. Lacie are wonderful with the children!
We have loved everything about our experience with MMC! Our 4 year old daughter started dancing here this fall, and now she says her favorite thing is to dance! It's a sweet, encouraging, and fun atmosphere!
