Oxford Hills native and professional dancer Debi Irons founded Art Moves in 1988 based on the philosophy that each individual has their own movement style which must be fostered along with healthy dance technique in order to develop the whole dancer. It works and it's fun!

All regular classes are Debi's VARIANTDANCE (all ages and levels) a jazz-based class, combining healthy technique with creativity and self-expression.

TECHNIQUE (ages 10+, level II & up) classes focus primarily on the techniques of ballet & modern; correct alignment, balance, and use of whole body to dance.

HIP-HOP (teens) began in the streets: rhythm, waves, popping, locking, funk & freezes

LATIN JAZZ (adults) is variantdance which uses a lot of latin music and movement. Sense of humor required.

MODERN with Joanna Patterson Joanna's technique class combines ballet and modern vocabulary with an emphasis on musicality, choreography and performance. Students work on important ideas like body placement, footwork, use of space, and how to quickly pick up new material. All of these ideas are put to practical use in the repertory class, where there is always creative new choreography to work on.

LEVELS are a guide to safe, enjoyable participation

I - 0-5 years of dance experience

II - 3-7 years of dance experience

III - 5-10 years of dance experience

IV - 9+ years of serious dance study
