Art & Movement Dance School was founded in 1984 by the teacher and choreographer, Alice Massabki in the city of Jal-el Dib, at the outskirts of Beirut, Lebanon. This was the result of her passion for teaching Classical Ballet, Contemporary Dance, Jazz, Oriental, and Hip Hop along with an in-depth knowledge of modern methods in pedagogy.
This initiative responded to a dire need in Lebanon for trained qualified dancers and unavailability of dedicated dance spaces. Henceforth its spaces have been acting as a solid platform for children, adolescents, and adults to strengthen their technical and artistic skills.
In addition, the resulting school events such as annual performances and dance shows are bringing youngsters and adults to perform together, thus allowing them to practice their skills, learn various dances and choreographies, and perform on-stage.
