As we dive into the new school year, we pause in gratitude for our growing network of amazing school partners and talented and diverse team of Teaching Artists. Every day we get to share the gift of dance with thousands of nyc school children in all 5 Burroughs of the city — inspiring students to find their own voice, to connect to their community, and share the joy of movement. #dancenyc #notesinmotion #artseducation #nycschools #danceinschools #teachingartist
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week! Here is to the teachers who spread the joy and magic of dance in NYC school classrooms 💜 Tag a teacher you appreciate! 👩🏽🏫🎨📓

Happy International Dance Day from Notes in Motion! 📝🎨📚
We celebrate community and culture as we teach a wide range of diverse dance styles in NYC schools, including ballet, modern, jazz, African dance, Latin dance, hip hop, tap, musical theater, and more! Students of all ages feel the impact of dance, learning technique, creative skill-building, and collaboration.

In dance, we’re working on flexibility to support strong and expressive movements! 💃 Warm-ups are an important part of every session, helping students stretch, prepare their bodies, and get ready to move. Our students love their classes with our partners from Notes in Motion. Check out their amazing moves! ✨ #ps361q #fullsteamahead #thearts #district30 #notesinmotion @notesinmotiondance
