Our vision is to provide the most professional instruction to children and adults in a family-friendly environment. We offer over 125 classes in dance, art, gymnastics and music. Yoga and academic tutoring are also available on-site. In the classroom, our students are taught proper technique and skills in a safe, non-competitive environment that emphasizes classroom etiquette, perseverance, goal-setting and self-esteem. Outside the classroom, family values are embraced and promoted through activities and events that encourage families to have fun together through the arts!
We go to great lengths to bring highly qualified instructors to our little town in Southern Pennsylvania so that parents may have access to the culture that larger cities have to offer. Over the years, our staff has consisted of professionals who travel from Baltimore and surrounding counties, Washington D.C., Delaware, Virginia, New York, New Orleans, Los Angeles and Moscow.
Experimental Movement Concepts is more than a dance studio. It is a place where young people explore their art, perfect it, and take pride in their accomplishments. Your child will shine at EMC even if she/he doesn't aspire to pursue a professional career in the arts. The lessons taught here will help mold your child into a responsible, hard-working, conscientious person who is bound to succeed.
