WHO WE ARE.
Move is a world renown choreography and dance instruction company helping dancers across the globe reach their highest potential. Move has worked with highly competitive dance studios, high school, college, and all star teams in Jazz, lyrical, Contemporary, Pom, Game Day choreography, as well as Master classes and instruction. Our work has expanded beyond the boarders of the United States and into Europe, choreographing for prestigious teams abroad.
At Move, we believe that a great artist or team begin with a solid connection to their training. We are a company that is built on relationships. From the time we begin working together, we strive to become a part of your whole journey! Our connection to the owners, coaches and most importantly, dancers is what truly motivates us. We believe that your season is more than training or choreography, but developing a sense of family, and we strive to be a part of that family with you.
Our instructors offer choreography, master classes, team clinics, consulting, private lessons, college audition prep & more.
LEAD CHOREOGRAPHERS.
“Teaching and coaching were ways for both of us to influence the lives of others, but in turn, they started changing ours. We decided that our love for dance and our passion for teaching and choreographing is what made us, us. As if we didn't spend enough time together, the two of us decided to combine forces and create something that reached beyond our current home.”
Mary & Ashley both grew up in the studio world and their paths crossed as they both auditioned for the University of Minnesota’s Dance Team. They quickly found ourselves in a very high pressure situation, competing as members of the highest ranked dance team in the nation. Each year they competed at UDA nationals, and competed one year at the ICU World Championship competition representing Team USA.
Their time on the dance team consisted of 7 national championship titles and one world championship title. They led the team as co-captains, created lots of memories, lots of sweat, and a lifelong friendship.
After college, Mary auditioned for So You Think You Can Dance on FOX, taught at studios and coached a high school team, and Ashley spent two seasons as the assistant coach for the University of Minnesota Dance Team! They both began teaching, choreographing, coaching across the country and decided to join forces, as they believe that two brains are better than one.
