Adult Class offerings held at London Nelson Community Center, The 418 Project, The Tannery, & Desert Dream. Motion Pacific is a 501(c)3 charitable arts organization. Motion Pacific offers over 1500 dance classes a year to students from two-years-old. The program is strong and supports over 150 youth/teen students per semester as well as a consistent population of adults that take classes regularly. Motion Pacific hosts over 20 dance workshops throughout the year, offering opportunities for local dancers to learn from local, regional, national and international artists. Motion Pacific strives to provide a context in which the presentation of dance can thrive at all levels. In order to support dance at its various stages we have initiated several programs in addition to our bi-annual performance seasons: the emerging choreographer “incubator project,” now in its third year, provides resources and mentorship for early career artists to present in a professional environment and gain valuable tools and experience. Our newest addition is the “max10” program, an uncurated presentation of short works presented in a low-tech environment. These events are designed to encourage feedback and discussion between artists, audiences and peers.

WE FOUND A NEW HOME! 🪩🏠✨

After several years searching, we are thrilled to announce that Motion Pacific has signed a 10+ year lease at 718 Frederick Street in Santa Cruz!

Before we can open our doors to you all, our new space needs to be transformed, including flooring, lighting, studio improvements, and critical ADA accessibility upgrades so all bodies can move freely in our new home.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

To open our doors in early 2027, we are launching a capital campaign to raise $150,000 to make all of those upgrades! To reach our goal, we’ve created a Digital Dance Floor that will live on our website where folks can purchase a virtual tile, dedicate it and watch it light up! 

Each tile cost $200 and 100% of those funds goes toward building our dream home. You can dedicate your tile, pool friends together to purchase multiple or maybe even ask your employer to buy one and show their support for arts in Santa Cruz!

Every $200 donation lights up one tile and brings us closer to our goal. 
We need 750 tiles to reach our goal and open our doors in early 2027.
We need all hands on deck - and we know that together we can do this!

Check the Zeffy link in our bio. Let’s light up the floor!
