Welcome to Art in Motion’s 2026 Starry Night Showcase.
We are so happy that you can share this special day with us. We are incredibly grateful for your support, your kindness and your energy.
Before I begin I would like to thank our amazing teachers who have worked so hard each week, sharing their love of dance with our students. Thank you Simon, Tricia, Cindy, Jacqueline, Bailey, Sharisse, Abha, and Jeannine. We wouldn’t be here without you!
Big thanks to all of our students, our kiddos and adults, who are bravely stepping out to strut their stuff! They have worked so very hard!
So much gratitude to our dedicated Board Members of Art Motion Pittsburgh, Simon, Jacqueline, Dana, Nisha, Naomi, Desiree, Lisa and Michael. You are all helping us to grow and nurture our fledgling non-profit. Your dedication, patience, and passion are bringing us to life!
Many thanks go out to all my helpers today. I would most likely have lost my mind without you! And thank you to everyone watching today…you make us feel like dancing!
And now for the show! We have 3 sets with an interactive demonstration embedded into each. We have a raffle for exciting prizes and we will draw prizes during Act 3. We will take an all studio photo after the show. Please come on down and join us or dance in your seat!
Summer Session/ Summer Camp! I know many of you will be away most of the summer or have other obligations, but in order to keep the studio thriving, we ask that you consider keeping your memberships running. You can use your 4 or 8 class cards over 1-2 weeks by taking different classes.
This is a great way to give yourself a dance intensive, to immerse yourself in alternate dance forms, and to give yourself a little joy in your life!
