About The Pure Movement Dance Institute

The Pure Movement Dance Institute, founded in 2000 in Lincoln, Nebraska, is a premier dance studio dedicated to fostering artistic expression and providing high-quality dance training. We offer a comprehensive curriculum encompassing Ballet, Hip Hop, Jazz, Tap, Contemporary, and Ballroom, catering to students of all ages and skill levels. Our experienced instructors, holding college degrees in dance, collegiate dance training, or professional experience, ensure exceptional instruction focused on individual student progression and technical mastery within a supportive and inspiring environment. We boast top-tier facilities, including professional sprung floors with Harlequin Marley dance flooring, the only setup of its kind in Lincoln, mirroring the standards of institutions like Julliard. Beyond our core classes, The Pure Movement Dance Institute cultivates advanced dancers through our "PMDI Company" (ages 9-18) and the "Junior Elite Company" (ages 7-8). These programs offer an expanded company-level training and performance experience, including participation in an annual winter ballet and additional recital pieces. Highlighting our commitment to specialized training, the "Illusion Dance" company (ages 12-18) focuses on Musical Theater and Jazz, fostering artistic growth through collaboration with external choreographers. Participation in these elite programs involves specific class enrollment, auditioning, and dedicated rehearsals, preparing dancers for numerous performance opportunities throughout the year, including our annual May recital. We are committed to nurturing a lifelong love for dance through personalized instruction, limited class sizes, convenient class times, and opportunities for further development via master classes and dance conventions.
