Welcome To In Motion Studio Of Dance
Jennifer August
Owner/Artistic Director
Jennifer discovered her love of dance as a student here in Reno, NV. After graduation from Reno High School, she moved to Boston to study dance with Joan Palladino at Dean College where she received her associate’s degree. She was then selected to study at Alvin Ailey Dance Academy in New York City. In 1997, she received her BFA in dance from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia where she studied with some of the foremost jazz and modern dancers in the country. Included among them were Ronen Koresh of the Koresh Dance Company, Wayne St. David, Doug Elkins, Beth Iguchi, Janine Bryant, Earl Mosley, Miltion Myers, and Pat Thomas. Jennifer elected to remain in Philadelphia, and became a member of the Paradigm Dance Company. Jennifer has performed with the Next Step Dance Company in New Jersey, and also began teaching at various studios throughout the area. Upon her return to Reno, she opened In Motion Studio of Dance, the Reno home of both Sierra Nevada Ballet and the Black Rock Dance Company.

The In Motion Montage was put together as part of the In Motion 2011 Recital DVD “Les Danseurs.” It was created as one of the special features of the DVD and includes footage taken around the studio during dress rehearsals, class photo shoots, Pioneer Center dress rehearsals, and footage from some of the numbers as they were performed during the recital. It is a wonderful introduction to the breadth and depth of In Motion Studio of Dance, so if you are new to our website, please take a look.

Master Dance Classes at In Motion
In recent years In Motion has welcomed many acclaimed professional dancers to lead a Master Class. Teachers have included Melissa Rector, Assistant Artistic Director and Dancer with the Koresh Dance Company. Stephen Petronio, of the Stephen Petronio Dance Company, and Robbie Mulrey of the Boston Ballet and Alivin Aliey. Master Classes are an opportunity for dancers to gain knowledge and grow their dance technique from some of the best dance professionals in the industry. By taking a Master Class you may hear one idea or see a new technique that could change your idea of dance forever. Below is a video from a recent class with Melissa Rector. From warm ups to across the floor, Melissa shares technique and knowledge.
