The Movement Center
This is a place where a kid can be safe
This is a place where a kid can learn
This is a place where a kid can have fun
I walk in everyday with my skateboard
and let me tell you its a reward
seeing those smiles on those childrens faces
and if im having a bad day it replaces the sad
and embraces the happiness
and I think its fabulous
that I can express, obsess
and try to impress with my finess all my progress
yes I take jazz, hip hop, tap, voice, and slam poetry
and let me tell you its a work out
and I dont know how I make time for
school, sleeping and skateing
Miss Lisa I'm so glad I got to meet cha
and I bet cha she can teach ya some good stuff
anyone is good enough to try a class
the time goes by so fast
that it doesent really last
but it lasts in your brain
and your going to have to refrain
from coming back
so you mine as well pack
and come on back
and we even sell snacks
cause TMC is the only place for me.

Testimonials from Summer Sensations 2008:
“It was awesome and JJ loved the performance. We had a great time. I wished they had one more day of it. She really liked the hot dogs too. Great suggestion. We would definitely love to go back again in December when they have their next performance.”Diana

My children have been so blessed by dancing, singing, acting, tumbling, tapping, spinning (you name it, they have done it) with you and the other wonderful instructors at the movement center. Some days we drive down to Kaimuki with frowns........but always come home with smiles, and stories about what the kids did and who they made friends with that day.
........ thank you for placing smiles on my kids faces, and sweet memories inside their little hearts that will last a lifetime........

I love to dance. I go to The Movement Center twice a week for four classes. I take Jazz, Tap, Street Dance and Ballet. I have lots of friends. I feel happy there. I was in the Hawaii Stars show in 2005. When I was dancing, I felt like a pop star. The audience was clapping and yelling for me.
I was in The Movement Center’s summer show last year and had four parts. Three with my classes. One from an audition. I also got to do a solo dance to Holes and Bare Necessities. I want to keep dancing my whole life.
