everyBODY belongs. Whether you’re stepping into your first class or training at an advanced level, you’ll be welcomed, encouraged, and supported. Our classes blend high-quality training with a heart-centered approach, creating a space where confidence grows, creativity thrives, and dancers shine—on and off the stage.

Come dance with us—because here, you’re not just learning steps, you’re finding your place.

COTTAGE DANCE ACADEMY IS NOW
VANCOUVER MOVEMENT COLLECTIVE!

 

When we first opened our doors, Cottage Dance Academy wasn’t just a name—it was a reflection of warmth, welcome, and the joy of starting something beautiful. We built a cozy, encouraging space where dancers of all ages and backgrounds could feel at home.
 

That spirit hasn’t changed. But our vision has grown.
 

Over the past three years, something extraordinary has unfolded:

• A community that moves together.

• A collective of dancers, artists, families, and teachers who lift each other up.

• A passion that extends far beyond the walls of one studio.
 

Now, we’re embracing a name that reflects that evolution:
 

Welcome to Vancouver Movement Collective
 

Vancouver grounds us in our beloved home—Vancouver, Washington—and all the strength, resilience, and creativity that defines our community.

Movement is not only what we do—it’s who we are. We move bodies, yes, but also hearts and minds.

Collective speaks to our spirit: united, collaborative, and inclusive.
 

This isn’t just a name change. It’s a declaration of who we’re becoming:

• A space for bold, expressive, expansive choreography and dance

• A hub for performance, innovation, and growth

• A movement you’re invited to be part of.
 

Still the same roots. New branches.
 

Vancouver Movement Collective will continue to offer the same welcoming classes, devoted teachers, and strong sense of family you’ve always known. But now, we’re expanding—into more styles, more opportunities, more connection.
 

We’re not just teaching dance.

We’re building something bigger.
 

Thank you for being part of our past, present, and future.
 

Welcome to the movement.
 

Beginning August 5th, come join us in our new space located at:

905 NE 68th St, Suite 200 Vancouver, WA 98665!
