In addition to quality dance classes, AMDA also offers the opportunity for technical growth and performance experience through our multiple award-winning and nationally recognized competitive company - Magnetic Motion.

As part of Magnetic Motion, dancers train extensively in numerous technique classes, participate in 2-3 workshops & conventions per year, perform at 3-5 community events per year, and compete in 6-8 elite dance competitions throughout the state, country, and at the national level, each year.

Through the competitive experience, dancers will learn a variety of dance styles and choreography at a more rigorous level. They will not only improve their physical dance practice and capabilities, but their intellectual understanding of dance as well. Company & crew dancers will gain invaluable knowledge regarding performance process, professionalism, dance criticism, and various styles of choreography.

In addition to dance and performance experience, Magnetic Motion also helps build dancers’ self-esteem, encourage self-discipline, develop character, and promote responsibility and accountability.

Artistic Director, Angela McGarity, and Assistant Director, Whitney Coleman Talbot, direct Magnetic Motion with a healthy approach to dance performance and competitions. We instill our performers with a driven, confident, and positive attitude towards dance, all the while accentuating the importance of building and developing a healthy dancer lifestyle, practice, and technique.

Dancers are required to audition for Magnetic Motion, upon acceptance, are placed on a company and/or hip hop crew based on technique, skill, and experience level. Ages of company  members range from 5 to 18 years old. Auditions take place in May or June, each year.

Being a member of Magnetic Motion requires strong commitment, hard work, dedication, dependability, ambition, & a passion for dance. At AMDA, we encourage & motivate our team & company dancers to advance as individuals, as well as team members & dance peers in the studio.
