At Arts in Motion, we believe in the transformative power of peer mentorship. Our mentorship programs are designed to help our students grow as a dancers, leaders, and supportive members of our dance community. Our students have several mentorship opportunities available to them so they can…

  • Gain valuable teaching experience.

  • Develop leadership and communication skills.

  • Build lasting friendships and mentorship relationships.

  • Be part of a supportive community that values growth and teamwork.

Student Teaching Assistant Program

Our Student Teaching Assistants get to dive into the heart of dance instruction. Teaching Assistants work alongside our experienced instructors, gaining hands-on experience in class management, lesson planning, and providing support to younger dancers. It's an opportunity for them refine their skills, build confidence, and prepare for a future as a leader.

Ensemble Buddy Program

Our Ensemble Buddy Program is a valuable part of our AiMDance Ensemble programs. Ensemble Buddies mentor younger dancers in our performing ensemble, offering guidance, friendship, and backstage support. It's more than just dance—it's about fostering meaningful connections and creating a supportive environment for everyone to thrive.

New for 2024-25: LEAP Program

Introducing the LEAP Student Mentorship Program:

We're so excited to launch the LEAP Student Mentorship Program, where Leadership, Education, Arts, and Performance converge to empower dancers of all ages, starting from students 6 and up.

**Leadership Development:**

LEAP fosters leadership skills by providing opportunities for students to take on roles as mentors and guides within our dance community. Through mentorship, they learn the importance of communication, collaboration, and setting a positive example for others.

**Educational Enrichment:**

Our program emphasizes continuous learning and growth. Mentors and mentees engage in educational activities that deepen their understanding of dance techniques, choreography, performance etiquette, and the artistic aspects of dance.

**Artistic Exploration:**

LEAP encourages artistic exploration and creativity. Mentors inspire their mentees to express themselves authentically through movement, music, and storytelling, fostering a love for the arts that extends beyond the dance studio.

**Performance Skills:**

As part of LEAP, students have the chance to work on improving their performance qualities. Mentors guide their mentees in honing their performance skills and building confidence on stage.
