Formerly Hearts in Motion
A Word from Our Families
My daughter has been taking violin lessons for a long time at Hearts in Motion . Our daughter enjoys her lessons and has shown great skill in playing her music. As parents, we are very comfortable with the family oriented environment. Thanks.
The Aravind Family ( 4/1/04 )
My granddaughters' progress has been very great in their ballet lessons and I would recommend anyone to come here for any lessons they desire.
The CG Family ( 4/1/04 )
We came to Hearts in Motion from Expressive Dance and Arts with Linda this year. Annie loves it! There is such a great variety of things going on, new friends, etc. It has been a welcoming atmosphere for us and I would like to put in a plug for the adult classes – they are great fun!

My kids love Hearts in Motion . This is our second year and we love the studio because of its family atmosphere. We are so happy with the learning experience,
The Zoccolie-Rodriguez Family ( 4/2/04 )
George Sheppard is a tremendous asset to your curriculum at Hearts in Motion . My son has been taught by George for the past 3 years. George really understands how to maximize the talents of his students by understanding their strengths and weaknesses and finding a program that is appropriate for them. We are fortunate to have George as a percussion instructor.
The Battle Family ( 4/4/04 )
We looked into this program a few months before we actually enrolled. My daughter (then 4, now 5) would point to the building with pride and tell anybody, “That's my dance studio.” I had no choice but to sign her up!! Miss Linda does a fabulous job of teaching the mechanics and nurturing the kids while keeping them in line in a pleasant way. We're very happy here.

This has been a great experience for us. A fabulous two years. The dance and music options have been great for our family. I hope we can find something as good in our new community. Thanks again,
The Latham Family (4/04)
It has been a blessing having my girls experience dance and music at your studio this year. The quality of the dance recital performance was amazing! It seemed like a professional show. Brittany and Olivia both love ballet and Brit loves studying violin with Dr. Farago. Looking forward to my girls continuing to blossom under your leadership.

Thank you for a wonderful year. Hearts in Motion is a second family. You provide wonderful training combined with a supportive environment. My daughter learned more here in one year than in her previous two years of dance. Your teachers are world class and it shows.
Ann Van Houten (6/04)
We have enjoyed seeing the studio grow. Although you have had growing pains, I think it is wonderful how you seek feedback from parents and try to implement their suggestions. Keep up your open door policy.
The Saitta Family ( 6/8/04 )
Variety is the spice of life! All of the choices in one establishment is quite an advantage. My daughter enjoyed the jazz class and we are looking into future classes in piano and maybe hip hop. The staff at Hearts in Motion has done a good job.
Brenda Edmonds and Family ( 6/14/04 )
I loved the recital. The costumes were great and the numbers flowed very well. During the year my daughter's teacher was firm but kind and gave her a great opportunity to rise to her highest level.
The Duklis Family ( 6/14/04 )
We came to Hearts in Motion several years ago and my daughter has enjoyed every class. The teachers are accepting of all abilities and learning styles! Thanks so much.
Susan Sanchez ( 7/6/04 )
WOW! In a word, Hearts in Motion is great. My daughter, Ayanna, has been enrolled for over a year and has taken three classes. She's learned so much in a relatively short period of time. Now we have the privilege of experience and expertise with Linda Bascope. We plan to continue with her guidance and direction for Ayanna. And two thumbs up, Mr. Miller! People generally don't see or tend to overlook the business aspect of a studio. Thank you so much for what you do.
Detra Proctor ( 7/6/04 )
My daughter has truly blossomed during Summer 2004 Dance Camp. The professional instruction combined with a great sense of fun and camaraderie has made this a wonderfully positive experience for her. Thank you Hearts in Motion for your attentiveness toward each child. Your friendly and caring atmosphere and for helping my daughter to continue to grow into the dancer she wants to become!!
Fay Beauchamp ( 7/14/04 )
Hearts in Motion has been a true answer to prayer for us as we moved to the D.C. area and attempted to make another “home.” The studio and staff so warmly welcomed us, making it a very easy transition into the classes here. The classes for my daughter far surpass any others she has taken at other studios around the country. The spirit of excellence has greatly enabled my daughter to progress beautifully. I look forward to the next year in dance as well as the upcoming Kindermusik addition to the studio. Keep up the great work. Thanks,
Asheley Underwood (Abbey and Matt's mom – 7/13/04 )
We came to Hearts in Motion from Expressive Dance and Arts. Although I was skeptical of the automatic payment plan, it worked perfectly! It was a great relief to not have to worry about submitting checks by a certain date each month. The studio is run very professionally and it has been a pleasure to have our daughter dance here. We love Miss Ellen as a teacher – she's the best.
Jean Wulff ( 8/1/04 )
Annie has just loved her summer sessions with Miss Linda. The program was flexible, which allowed us to miss some days and not worry about throwing money away. Thanks for having great teachers and great classes.
Elise DeWitt ( 8/11/04 )
Dr. Farago is a wonderful teacher who obviously loves what he is doing and passes that love of music on to his students.
DDB ( 8/31/04 )
We did the all day dance camp. Erin had a great time. We will definitely be back next year. Erin loved the variety. It kept three pre-teen girls interested, entertained and excited.
Ann Van Houten ( 9/14/04 )
We've loved being with Barbara Owen for two years. She's given Yvonne confidence, poise and a great foundation for dance.
Hilaire R. Henthorne ( 9/15/04 )
Our family went to Disney World this summer so the girls could dance there with the Hearts in Motion dance teams. It was a wonderful experience for us all.
Leigh Anne Park ( 9/21/04 )
My daughter is taking both piano and dance classes and we are thrilled with her progress!! The teachers are wonderful. They are both loving and professional in their approach. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hearts in Motion . Everyone from the front desk, to the owners put the “Heart” in “Hearts in Motion.”
Susan Lang ( 11/16/04 )
My daughter has been taking voice lessons with Tracy for two and a half years now and it has been wonderful! She has made tremendous progress in her lessons. She also started taking a hip hop class this fall and she absolutely loves it! It is always a pleasure to come to the studio due to the wonderful staff here. Thank you Hearts in Motion .

My son has been taking piano with Mr. Martinez since November. His progress has been wonderful. My son is very motivated to excel.

I love taking dance at Hearts in Motion . It is really good and I meet a lot of friends and I learn new dances and I learn new stuff. I love having Miss Linda for a dance teacher and I love having Miss Hedy and Miss Ellen as my dance teachers. I have learned so much in dance this year. Love,

I booked my daughter's 6-year birthday party at Hearts in Motion this past Saturday and I highly recommend it to anyone. We had ten kids (7 girls, 3 boys) and they had a BLAST !! The two young women who led the group even helped to keep the kids focused and in line during cake, ice cream/and present opening. Thanks, Hearts in Motion – we have fabulous memories and pictures of a great dance party (and I didn't need to clean my house!!).
