About MovementWorks Dance & Fitness

MovementWorks Dance & Fitness, nestled in Oberlin, Ohio, is a vibrant and inclusive studio dedicated to nurturing growth in body, mind, and spirit through diverse movement programs for all ages, starting from 6 months old. We offer a wide array of dance styles including Ballet, Hip Hop, Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary, Tap, Musical Theater, and Irish Dance, alongside Acrobatics and Yoga. Our curriculum is designed to be developmentally appropriate and noncompetitive, fostering a lifelong love of learning and expression. Led by Director, Choreographer, and Dance Teacher Jess Widener-Pruitt, RYT 500, who brings extensive experience from performing in New York City and expertise in Early Childhood Education, MovementWorks creates safe, fun, and confidence-building spaces. Our passionate instructors, including Lindsey Armstrong, Amber Mitchell-Adkins, Danielle Bruner, Gabby Grau, and Larissa Freaas, guide students from beginner levels like 'Dance with Me' and 'Beginning Dance' to advanced training such as 'Prepointe/Pointe work' and 'Advanced Hip-Hop/Jazz'. We also offer specialized programs like the 'Diamond Team Ensemble' for dedicated dancers. MovementWorks embraces creativity through various summer programs and special classes, including themed camps like '2026 Summer Movement Classes,' '2026 Petals & Pirouettes,' '2026 Cheer Camp,' '2026 Swiftie Dance Camp,' and '2026 Zootopia-Inspired Dance Camp,' as well as '2026 Learn & Grow Montessori Camp'. We believe movement is a pathway to health, confidence, and belonging, making quality movement education accessible to the entire Oberlin community.

Irish Dance

This lively and energetic class introduces dancers to the vibrant world of Irish dance! Students will learn the fundamentals of traditional Irish step dancing, including posture, rhythm, footwork, and timing—all while building coordination, strength, and musicality.

Beginning Dance

Beginning Dance is a fun and engaging next step for young movers ready to dance independently! Designed for ages 2.5 to 5, this class introduces foundational skills through a playful blend of ballet, jazz, hip hop, acro, and creative movement.

Pointe

Ballet is the foundation of all dance forms. Students will learn discipline, grace, and movement, along with interpretation at each level. As the dancer masters the required skills and/or grows older, they will progress to the next appropriate level of ballet. As the ballet dancer progresses in their ballet technique and masters all previous levels of ballet, they may begin preparatory work for pointe work and then start beginner pointe work.

Lyrical

Lyrical dance is a graceful and expressive style that blends elements of ballet, jazz, and modern dance. This class focuses on connecting movement to music and emotion, encouraging dancers to tell a story through their choreography. Dancers will explore dynamics such as shape, space, time, and energy while developing strong technical skills and emotional expression.

Hip-hop/Jazz

In all levels of Hip-Hop/Jazz, our main focus is to introduce students to the many forms/styles of both hip-hop and jazz dance while also having students develop basic dance skills and steps. Students will gain awareness of music, rhythm and movement, motor skills, balance and coordination all while learning the basic styles of hip-hop and jazz dance.

Boy’s Dance & Creative Movement

This high-energy class is designed specifically for boys ages 6–10 who love to move, jump, create, and explore! Through a mix of hip hop, jazz, acro, and creative movement, students build strength, coordination, rhythm, and confidence in a fun, supportive environment.

Acro

In all Acro levels, our main focus will be to engage the student in tumbling, strength, and stretching activities which also strengthen and promote development in language, social and emotional skills, physical coordination, and creativity. Students learn basic tumbling, gymnastics vocabulary, and new climbing/mounting skills.

Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced Ballet

Ballet is the foundation of all dance forms. Students will learn discipline, grace, and movement, along with interpretation at each level. As the dancer masters the required skills and/or grows older, they will progress to the next appropriate level of ballet. These 60-minute classes meet once a week.
