Additionally, she puts a lot of effort into structuring the course material to ensure it is engaging and interesting.

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!”

  • “I absolutely love both classes! The Dance Class is such a joyful experience. The teacher is incredibly patient, professional, and encouraging. Watching the teacher’s beautiful dance demonstrations is truly a joy and an inspiration! The exercises in stretch classes are exactly what I needed, and I really appreciate how thoughtfully the class is designed!”

  • “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!”

MEET THE FOUNDER

MFA in Dance
RYT 200 | ACE Certified Instruction

Ting-Yu Xie

For Ting-Yu, movement is more than learning steps - it is a way to build confidence, express who we are, and feel at home in our bodies.

A choreographer, performer, dance educator, movement researcher, community builder, and mother of twins, Ting-Yu holds an MFA in Dance from Case Western Reserve University. Her approach brings together Chinese traditional dance, ballet, modern and contemporary dance, and wellness-based movement.

She created TINGMOTION as a welcoming place for children discovering movement, adults reconnecting with their bodies, and dancers seeking deeper artistic growth - a place to practice with care, grow with confidence, and move toward greater well-being.
