It’s official: Mo’ Motion has a new home! Starting January 2027, you’ll find us at 3502 S 12th St in Tacoma. Two studios, a lobby made for hellos and goodbyes, and room for our 60+ dancers to grow. We have the keys, and a fundraising campaign to help with the build-out is coming soon.
Every gift is tax-deductible. See you on 12th Street.
More Than a Studio
Mo' Motion Dance is a Tacoma-based cultural institution built on a single belief: every dancer deserves a pathway from their first steps to their full potential.
We combine rigorous technical training with deep cultural grounding, developing the whole dancer technically, artistically, and personally through intentional training and a community rooted in support, belonging, and empowerment.

Mo' Motion has given my daughter more than dance training — it's given her confidence, community, and a place where she truly belongs.
