Our Mission Statement

During the beginning of the pandemic, Shayna knew she needed to do all she could to motivate dancers to continue their training despite the isolated circumstances. It started with connecting to dancers on an individual level through social media giveaways, dance themed podcasts, free classes, dance photoshoots, and motivational affirmations. In doing so Shayna realized she was being called to develop a curriculum that caters to dancer’s that want to focus on creating an achievable career in dance. The Movement MN was established in May of 2020. Unlike traditional competitive studios we provide dancers the opportunity to choose individual classes, both group and one-on-one, that shape their dance education and grow their skill level at their own pace. The Movement MN recognizes the importance of continuously broadening the horizons of our students. We are deeply humbled to be able to offer our dancers opportunities to work with nationally recognized choreographers and teachers. We offer a safe environment that fosters artistic development and a healthy relationship with dance. In doing so, we want to ensure that we as mentors are demonstrating the importance of character and a well balanced lifestyle. The Movement MN participates in a variety of volunteer work to encourage our dancers to give back to the community. Though our mission is to train individuals for their dance careers, we strive to help dancers become the most well rounded people they can be.
