We are so much greater than the sum of our parts
City in Motion is more than a dance school. City in Motion is more than a performance series.
City in Motion is more than a professional dance company. We are a community.
Our dancers are all ages and experience levels. Our borders are not finite. Performers learn. Students teach. And all of us DANCE because dance is for everyBODY :)
City in Motion Dance Theater was founded in 1985 and has been a constant presence in the Kansas City dance community. The company produces three key concerts a year: A Modern Night at the Gem, the annual company spring concert, and Dance in the Park. You can also see the company at other dance events throughout the year.
City in Motion offers accessible dance for everyBODY, regardless of your fitness level or age! While our School is seeking a permanent location, we are still offering dance outreach and satellite class locations! Let us connect your community, school, or group to some of KC's best instructors!
City in Motion organizes two youth companies: The Children's Dance Theater and the Apprentice Company, together known as the Youth Dance Theater. Auditions are held August - October for young dancers ages 5-18, with scholarships available.
