This summer, step into something new with Grace in Motion's Summer Sunset Series—a fun and inspiring dance experience designed just for adults! Whether you've always wanted to try dance or are looking for a creative way to stay active, our beginner-friendly Ballet, Jazz, and Majorette classes offer the perfect opportunity to learn a new skill in a welcoming environment.

And for our online community who has been asking us to bring Grace in Motion to Washington, DC—we heard you! After much anticipation, our program is finally coming to DC, and we can't wait to dance with you in person.

• Expert Instruction: Learn from experienced instructors who specialize in teaching beginners.
• Comprehensive Curriculum: Build a solid foundation in ballet technique, posture, and flexibility.
• Supportive Environment: Progress at your own pace in a judgment-free community.
• Flexible Options: For our ballet classes if you aren't able to make it to one of the classes, we have pre-recorded lessons for you to review what you missed. For jazz and majorette we will have makeup classes available. No worries if you have to miss a week if you're on a small vacation. 

• Weekly Classes: One 60-minute session per week focused on developing the core fundamentals required for the genre of dance you choose. 
• Progress Tracking: Free accountability sheet to track your practice sessions!
• Exclusive Resources: Access to a private Facebook group to keep up with other students and stay motivated. Ballet classes come with recordings for at-home practice.
