Supporting Mental Wellness
AIM’s faculty are committed to ending the cycle of toxicity and trauma in dance education. We teach from a trauma-informed perspective and benefit from regular trainings on mental wellness in the dance studio.
|
Promoting Body Positivity
We teach our dancers the importance of positive self-talk and skills to combat negative self-talk. We teach dance from an anatomical perspective, emphasizing how movement should feel rather than how it should look.

Exploring Artistry
At AIM, students can let their creativity flow! We encourage our dancers to think about dance as an art form, and not just a hobby. We engage our dancers with age-appropriate activities designed to help them discover and investigate their own unique movement styles.
|
Unleashing Joy
We are all about the experience and expression of joy! We cultivate an environment of positivity, playfulness, and community where students feel safe to be their true, authentic, weird, wonderful selves.
|
Experiencing Individualized Growth
Our faculty meets their students where they are and understands each dancer’s unique learning style. Through goal-setting and built-in accountability, we help our dancers see and achieve their potential.
