HeartBeats Music & Dance opened its 5,500 square foot music and dance studio as Hearts in Motion in Springfield's Saratoga Shopping Center in July 2002. The Center's vision and purpose is to offer the highest caliber of music and dance instruction to students of all ages in a family-friendly atmosphere that encourages each student to achieve their highest artistic potential. (see Testimonials)

Since its inception, HeartBeats has attracted an exceptional faculty in both its music and dance departments, providing a one-stop location for the entire family's artistic needs by offering lessons in a wide variety of musical instruments and voice along with classes in most new and traditional dance styles, musical theater, song and dance, and summer arts camps.

Students at HeartBeats, through its resident performing arts troupes, have performed at Carnegie Hall, Disney World, Universal Studios, on the SS Ocean Breeze cruise ship, and at the Year 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia (see Miracle on Broadway for an amazing story about how all this came about)

Our dance company competes in local and regional talent competitions, perform in local community events, and often participate in Dance Conventions and Master Classes both locally and in New York City and elsewhere. Most recently we offered our own Master Classes with Karla Garcia, one of this seasons top 7 finalists on So You Think You Can Dance. We look forward to an encore class with Karla this fall.

The HeartBeats Center features seven spacious private music studios, a group classroom, and three large dance studios comprising over 2,500 square feet of fully-cushioned professional floating dance floors. These are configured with moveable sound walls to allow a full stage-size performance space for productions, rehearsals, music recitals and social events.

Families at the Center also enjoy a spacious waiting area with video and vending machines along with high speed wireless internet connection. Visitors are greeted by a beautiful hand-painted garden fresco in the entrance foyer. Family members can also multi-task while waiting by visiting the many other fine stores and restaurants in the Saratoga Center or Costco just down the road.

HeartBeats is open year-round and is conveniently located on Rolling Road, one mile south of the Fairfax County Parkway.
