Individual Movers Program (IMP)

Looking to be in control of your dance schedule, where you compete, and what conventions you attend? Want to have more freedom to dance and do other opportunities dance or non dance related? Want to focus on yourself and where you want to take your dance future? This program is for YOU! Our IMP Program guarantees you to have quality training, with the ability to decide how you want to grow your dance training. We provide classes and private lessons everyday of the week. You are able to manage your schedule by picking your class times and private lessons week to week. Our program dancers are tuition based and compete solos / duets / trios / small groups through our studio. We are not a competition studio for lines or dance teams. Our focus in on individual training, NOT GROUPS. You have the opportunity to choose how many dances you want to be apart of and how you want to shape your dancing going forward. More details on the IMP tab, or email us for any additional information (themovementmn@gmail.com). Auditions are set for August 1st-3rd, 2025.

TUITION UPDATES:

Before auditions, we will have received your packet that is filled out with your dancers interest (best time to let the studio know your thoughts of styles, choreographers and all of the dances you would like to commit to). During auditions, we will evaluate your dancer, level them and decide what dances would best benefit your dancer. After auditions, every dancer will receive a studio acceptance / denial email that will express which level / dances your child is selected for or what your dancer could work on to make IMP the next season.

*REMINDER: THE $50 MONTHLY FEE GOES TOWARDS THE 30 MIN. RECURRING LESSON (PER SOLO, PER DUET, PER TRIO) THAT GUARANTEES OUR DANCERS HAVE A CLEANING SESSION EACH WEEK. WHEN YOU BREAK DOWN THE MATH, YOUR SAVING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON THOSE LESSON TIMES ALONE.

Mini Movers: (Ages 6-8 as of January 1st, 2026). $250 Base tuition with 24 hours per month. If your dancer would like to partake in additional dances beyond a small group, than your monthly tuition will increase by $50 per solo, $50 per duet & $50 per trio a month to pay for your recurring lesson time of whichever additional dances your child has been selected for. There is no monthly charge for small groups as your dancer will need to be invited to these select groups. Choreography and costume fees apply separately for each solo, duet, trio, and small group.

Intermediate Plan: $390 Base tuition with up to 30 hours of week of classes. Only requirement is attending 2 technique classes a week. If your dancer would like to partake in additional dances beyond a small group, than your monthly tuition will increase by $50 per solo, $50 per duet & $50 per trio a month to pay for your recurring lesson time of whichever additional dances your child has been selected for. Unlimited groups free of a monthly charge but dancers will need to be invited and committed to these select groups. Choreography and costume fees apply separately for each solo, duet, trio and small group.

Advanced Plan: $500 Base tuition with unlimited classes. If your dancer would like to partake in additional dances beyond a small group, than your monthly tuition will increase by $50 per solo, $50 per duet & $50 per trio a month to pay for your recurring lesson time of whichever additional dances your child has been selected for. Unlimited groups free of a monthly charge but dancers will need to be invited and committed to these select groups.

Winter High School Dance Team Members: $175 per month for every Sunday; training from 12-2pm. Once season is over, dancers can bump up plans to $390 & compete solos / duets / trios in March. This would allow your dancer to train for 30 hours per month. If your dancer is not interested in competing they are still able to stay at the every Sunday training per month.
