Joy of Motion Dance Center's Intro to Dance Technique Series is an ideal way for the adult dancer to learn the basic of dance technique and terminology.  For the individual who is new to movement, we recommend our Intro to Dance Technique class, which is an excellent precursor to any further study in dance.  After completing our Intro to Dance Technique, students may choose to explore our other Intro classes.  Offered each semester, these classes give students the necessary skill sets to attend our drop-in classes with a greater level of success and accomplishment.  

When you have completed your Intro to Dance level classes, move on to JOMDC's Beginners' Series.

Please note:  Material covered is the same in both session 1 and session 2.
                    Please feel free to start with either session.
