Manhattan Movement & Arts Center

About

Manhattan Movement & Arts Center at 248 West 60th Street is far more than a conventional dancing studio — it's not unusual to find students dangling upside down in mid-air during an aerial silk class alongside traditional ballet and contemporary dance programming. The Upper West Side studio offers ballet, contemporary, hip-hop, aerial arts, and acrobatics across kids' and adult programming. Strong fit for UWS families with kids who want to experiment beyond conventional dance — particularly compelling for those drawn to circus-arts disciplines like aerial silks alongside foundational ballet training. Booking is by phone or website inquiry; new students typically attend a trial class for placement.
