WHAT IS TINGMOTION?

Dance and Wellness for the Whole Person

Through dance, creative exploration, and wellness-based movement, participants build skills, confidence, strength, body awareness, and a more connected relationship with their bodies.

Ting-Yu Xie

Ting-Yu’s journey from physics to dance shaped her belief that movement connects structure, energy, and human experience. After becoming a mother of twins, movement supported her postpartum recovery - helping her rebuild strength, reconnect with her body, and care for her well-being.

She founded TINGMOTION to create what she wished more people could find: professional dance education, accessible wellness practices, and a warm community where children, adults, and mothers feel supported, confident, and seen.

    “I absolutely love both classes! The Dance Class is such a joyful experience. The teacher is incredibly patient, professional, and encouraging. The exercises in stretch classes are also exactly what I needed, and I really appreciate how thoughtfully the class is designed!”

  • Line of ballet dancers wearing black leotards, pink tights, and pointe shoes, standing in the wings of a backstage area.

    “Mrs. Xie is very kind in her instruction! She’s patient and takes the time to correct posture and mistakes. Her dance class covers a variety of areas including flexibility stretches and core strengthening exercises. My body feels accomplished walking out of class each week!”

    “I am a big fan of Ting-Yu and her dance classes. As an amateur who has practiced and performed Chinese dance for over a decade, I still learn something new in every class. I truly admire Ting’s professionalism, patience, and passion for dance. Her classes are not only educational but also enjoyable and inspiring. Whether you are new to dance, hoping to improve your technique, or simply looking to relax and have fun, Ting’s dance classes have something to offer everyone. I highly recommend them!”
