ART IN MOTION, Perrysburg Dance Academy's contemporary dance ensemble, is aimed at enhancing artistry and expression in performance. During each rehearsal, emphasis is placed on creating meaningful connections to dance and exploring storytelling and self-expression.  Dancers learn to connect their mind, body, heart, and spirit through contemporary, modern, and lyrical dance.

​

There is no audition for membership; however, dancers must meet the following criteria​:

​

• Dancers must be currently registered and enrolled students of Perrysburg Dance Academy.

• Dancers must have a history of good attendance and a positive attitude.

• Studio class requirements include Ballet III, IV, or V AND lyrical or modern. If a student not meeting these requirements wishes to join, please direct your request to Miss Alisa at missalisa@perrysburgdance.com. ​
