Once a year, Arts in Motion pauses to pay tribute to students who share their passion for dance & to all those teachers who dedicate themselves to this art in the Arts in Motion. This show is a unique platform provided to a wide variety of Indian & international dances in their pure & classical form presented by local students, under the aegis of one dance institution, an explosive display of extraordinary expertise all at once. In the last 6 years, Arts in Motion has also been working tirelessly to create awareness in our society for the special requirements of the differently challenged thru annual Dance with Joy shows. Held under media blitzkrieg, Dance with Joy shows enjoy public, corporate & celebrity patronage.

Physically, dancing encourages a stronger mind body connection & music is known to have amazing healing properties; emotionally, dance can bring joy to all.
