Offering both in-studio and online classes for adults and youth, our studio prides itself on providing high-quality and fun classes to help individuals stay fit and enjoy movement.
Our youth program, Studio Pointe, provides a structured and engaging environment for young dancers to learn and grow. With a focus on classical dance techniques infused with a Latin flare, our classes celebrate our founders Janelle and Jocelyn's heritage.
The MoMM class, the cornerstone of our studio, is a conditioning class designed to improve posture, alignment, breath, stability, flexibility, strength, and technique. Our MoMM Stretch class offers a relaxing and rejuvenating experience, incorporating fluid movements from head to toe, conditioning exercises, and plenty of stretching.
Sisters Janelle and Jocelyn Ordiales founded Method of Modern Movement based on their love for dance and fitness. With a background in classical dance and fitness training, they developed a unique class that combines different aspects of dance technique and conditioning. The MoMM class is not just a class but a brand and a lifestyle, aimed at helping individuals tone their bodies, maintain a healthy physique, and learn the basic foundations of dance in a new and exciting way.
At MoMM, our class structure begins with a warm-up jog around the room, followed by conditioning movements and exercises on the mat. The second part of class varies, with elements such as modern dance combinations, ballet barre work, deep stretches, and meditation. Latin music adds an element of high energy and positive vibes to our classes, creating an inviting and rejuvenating atmosphere for all participants.
Janelle Ordiales Astles, with a BFA in Dance from the University of Florida/New World School of the Arts, is the CEO, Owner, and Founding Director of Method of Modern Movement.
