City in Motion Dance Theater honors Harriett Charno with heartfelt gratitude for her incredible generosity and devotion to our community. Harriett believed deeply in giving back, and her support helped pave the way for young dancers in Kansas City to find their confidence, artistic voice, and joy through movement. Beyond her financial contributions to our youth dance programs, Harriett enriched our community space by donating beautiful Rita Blitt paintings, bringing color, inspiration, and artistic life directly into our studio. Her passion for the arts and her vibrant spirit leave a lasting legacy that will continue to inspire our students for years to come. Rest in peace Harriet!

🪘 Pop Up Class Alert! 🪘 Join the incredible Selah Thompson for Afro-Fit on September 1st at 6 PM. The perfect way to dust off those creaky knees before Fall Session starts on 9/14! All classes enrolling now!

Afro-Fitness is a dynamic, culturally inspired fitness experience that combines the power of African and Caribbean movement with modern dance and group fitness. Drawing inspiration from traditional West African dance, West Indian movement, dancehall, hip hop, contemporary dance, and modern group workout formats, Afro-Fitness turns movement into a high-energy full-body workout. Rather than feeling like a traditional workout, Afro-Fitness uses rhythm, choreography, cardio, bodyweight movements, and culturally rooted dance styles to build endurance, coordination, strength, mobility, and confidence. At its heart, Afro-Fitness is about moving with rhythm, connecting with culture, and having fun while getting fit. Classes can incorporate energetic combinations, grounded African movement, Caribbean-inspired steps, hip-hop grooves, contemporary transitions, conditioning, and group call-and-response elements. Afro-Fitness isnt just exercise—its a movement experience.
