Studio
Art Moves opened as a VARIANT dance studio in 1988
on the third floor of 13 Cottage St. in Norway, Maine where it remains today. Debi Irons developed the VARIANT method of dance education, combining healthy technique with self-expression and creativity to foster individual confidence.
VARIANT is a hybrid of musically derived dance forms.
At Art Moves we focus on the art of dance education: technique, creativity, and expression! Socks are worn on the feet and danceable clothes on the body, like unitards, leggings, shorts, etc. . You will not be required to buy expensive shoes, costumes and/or photos.
- Structure for technique and safety
- Space for comfort and extension
- Time to discover and improve
- Freedom to experiment and express
Art Moves is the idea that art moves us - body, mind, spirit, and emotion.
Art Moves is the idea that when we move, art is moving. Movement is art.
