our story


est. Aug 2015
moveDIPR was created, as a result of seeing the need for . . . preparation, communication, accountability & professionalism in students who studied at various dance institutions and dance programs, not receiving all the tools needed for their success; time and time again, observing how students primarily received “dance training.” As a result, this is how moveDIPR grew into “more than dance...” It was a way for Dionna to share her knowledge and expertise, from both the positive/negative experiences of being a Dance Educator. She wanted to share her ideals with movers/dancers/enthusiasts, open to receiving - offering many tools for success, building confidence, transpiring programmatic initiatives, setting high expectations, pushing values, & enhancing growth
​ . . . all while creating a supportive “family” atmosphere. (MD Fam) 

DanING was always the “icing on the cake,” but offering more than dance... was always the catalyst, the motivating factor.

MISSION:

​By utilizing a 'contemporary' lens . . . we foster untapped potential with stylized dance training & provide artistic opportunities for teens, pre-professionals, & working adults. 
Contemporary [dance] is a form of dance that is often misunderstood. Unlike traditional dance methods, it is a raw form of dance that does not follow any rules. Popular to audiences and dancers alike, it portrays the world through the eyes of the dancer, their experiences, stories, and emotions./ contemporary focuses on the freedom of movement./There is no rule of thumb to what type of elements their performance can include, but you will find a combination of techniques often ranging from ballet, jazz, modern, break dancing, even yoga and pilates.~ Greta Leeming Studio of Dance, Ontario
