About Us
P & M School of Dance was created in 1996 by sisters Paula and Marianne Birch, now called Pure Motion Dance Studio (PMDS). For over 27 years we have been training dancers recreationally & competitively.
Classes are available from 2 years old to adults; all levels from beginner to advanced to professional. The studio offers quality bilingual instruction with approximately 10 students in a class with 1 teacher and 1 demonstrator. Our small classes gives each child the attention they deserve, and a chance to develop at their own pace. Students need to be comfortable with their bodies to encourage them to adapt to their own style and rhythm of dancing while having fun.
Throughout the year from October to December, the children learn a dance which they present on demonstration for parents.
From February to May a choreography is created for the recital which is held every year in a formal establishment.
Competition Team
Pure Motion started to compete in 1998. The team is for dedicated students who are advanced and exceed in a specific style of dance, starting from 5 years old and up.
Once a student is chosen to be on the team, the student will go through intensive weekly training and participate in Regional and National Competitions throughout Canada and the United States, as well as performing in Benefit shows and special events for the community.
Our Staff
Pure Motion is proud of there teachers, they have worked hard to get where they are. Our Staff is enthusiastic, energetic, encouraging and are great role models. They always bring out the best in their students. They are dedicated individuals who take the art seriously, but their education does not stop here.
Our teachers take courses and workshops to learn and enhance proper teaching techniques, up-to-date choreography, discipline approaches and instructional strategies. Friendly and safe environment for students to learn and this is done with patience, friendliness, encouragement and passion!
Outstanding credentials is a compliment of an amazing teaching staff.
