Local Motion Project

Local Motion Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dance  education organization. Both studio classes and residencies expose students to the magic that happens when movement and ideas collide! 

As part of its mission, Local Motion Project provides children an opportunity to engage in artistic expression through dance. 

The studio program offers modern, ballet, creative movement, and tap. This program celebrates the importance of developing a dancer's creative voice and technical skills side by side.

The residency programs bring the benefits  of dance to schools in Alexandria. The dance integration program in  Alexandria City Public School  is in its fourth year, and  it has expanded to include professional development for classroom teachers. The goal for the coming year is to develop an afterschool ensemble residency where students will devise original work by weaving together dance and theater.
