ALDEN MOVES Dance Theater Making movement dance and making dance move--on stage and in the classroom!

It takes a special teacher/choreographer to work with preschool through professional-level dancers, and Tammy O’Hara of Studio Tammy in Japan is a master. Thrilled that she and the equally fabulous Rika were able to include us in their NYC teaching tour once again this year—and that they were able to work with so many different groups of dancers!

Look forward to seeing new Tammy & Rika choreography performed by both our student and professional companies during two upcoming free performances: Family Day on Saturday, Sept 12th (students only) and Flatbush Frolic on Sunday, Sept 27th (professional company, student company, and a chance for you to take the stage!).

For now, many thanks to Tammy and Rika for their wonderful energy, brilliance, generosity, and mentorship.

There’s a joyful sweetness and s***k to studio life that fuels the leaps dancers make each year. It comes from the pursuit of harmony rather than perfection, a love of movement and music, and a continuous study of balance.

Masters of Style 2026 was another beautiful showcase of students’ dedication, growing ability, and passion for adventure. It’s a joy to share our love of technique, performance, and artistry with kindred spirits and watch as buds of enthusiasm blossom into freedom of movement and harmony of line.

If you had a performer in the show, Masters of Style pics are coming your way! Many thanks to Matt Carr for these gorgeous captures ❤️❤️

For everyone, the adventures continue this fall. Register by Aug 15th to save on fall Ballet, Tap, Creative Dance, Modern, and Jazz—and enjoy 10% off total tuition when dancers register for our Dance Explorers After-School Program along with classes at the studio. School pick-ups are available from PS 130 & PS 889!

Exciting news for PS 889, PS 130, and PS 139 families!

Beginning next year, our Dance Explorers After-School Program will take place onsite at PS 889 on Tuesdays and Thursdays—and, if Tuesdays at Urbane Arts Club fill, we’ll also open a Wednesday section there.

This is a program for kids who enjoy trying on different dance styles, being part of a creative team, and who love to perform. It’s for kids who love our camps and classes and want more—as well as for kids who love to dance but prefer a more relaxed way to participate than traditional studio offerings provide.

This year, Dance Explorers students have experimented with creative movement and improvisation, hip hop and street jazz, ballet, modern dance, salsa, Egyptian folk dance, and classical Chinese dance. For each unit, they constructed their own sets, props, and costume pieces, then learned choreography to share on the Main Stages of Flatbush Frolic and the Church Ave Street Fair.

Kids ages 8+ also represented ALDEN MOVES in the 20th Annual NYC Dance Parade, and this weekend, we’ll be performing and teaching a short dance lesson at PS 130’s World Culture Day!
The event is free and open to everyone. It all starts at 12 PM—join us!

Get your dancer out of the mirror, off the marley, and away from scrolling.

Our Upstate Dance Intensives in Accord, NY offer a one-of-a-kind experience designed to nurture creativity, connection, and technique—all in wide-open spaces that invite dancers to breathe in art, soak up inspiration, and expand their artistic horizons.

Day spots are still available for dancers ready to shake off the usual confines of the studio and adventure into movement in nature preserves, sculpture parks, and our beautiful upstate campus.

Learn more through the Upstate Intensive link in our bio.

It’s a pretty incredible thing to dance through the streets of New York City with the city itself as your backdrop—what a gift has given dancers and spectators for the last 20 years!

Thrilled to have been part of the community, color, and celebration—and to share that experience with students each year.

Many thanks to everyone who worked to pull it all together, our incredibly dedicated parade contingent of faculty, students, friends, and family, and all of you who came out to see the dancing.

May we always hunger for adventures that pull communities together and celebrate the creativity, talent, and dedication within them ❤️❤️

Had the best time during our May 1st After Hours event for studio parents! There’s something here for everyone, and After Hours offers parents a chance to enjoy live music by pianist Misha Filimon while catching up with studio teachers and staff.

The fall class schedule is now live, and pre-registration for current students begins May 15. Schedule your Parent/Teacher Conference before the end of May to learn more about offerings and placement for your dancer. 🩰🎩👟
