Hi, I’m Ting-Yu.
My journey began in physics, where I learned to understand the world through energy, structure, and motion. Dance later gave those ideas a human form - and became the foundation of my work as an educator and business owner.
After becoming a mother of twins, movement played an essential role in my postpartum recovery. It helped me rebuild strength, support my mental well-being, and reconnect with a body that had changed. That experience made me recognize how difficult it can be for children, beginners, and mothers to find movement programs that feel both professional and genuinely welcoming.
I founded TINGMOTION to build what I wished more people could find: thoughtful dance education, accessible wellness practices, and a warm community where every person feels seen.
Drawing from Chinese traditional dance, ballet, modern and contemporary dance, and wellness-based movement, I create programs for children discovering movement, adults returning to their bodies, and dancers ready to grow - with care, confidence, and joy.
Adult Teaching Philosophy
Adult movement should begin with the body you have today - not with pressure to be more flexible, slimmer, or more experienced. My goal is to create a welcoming space where adults can reconnect with their bodies, develop strength and mobility, explore personal expression, and build a movement practice that feels meaningful and sustainable.
Children’s Teaching Philosophy
Children naturally move with curiosity, imagination, and joy. I believe this instinct should be respected and developed - not replaced by rigid technique. Classes encourage creative exploration while gradually introducing professional foundations that support coordination, musicality, healthy alignment, body awareness, and confident self-expression.
Classes combine age-appropriate ballet foundations with creative movement and experiences across dance forms. Students develop coordination, musicality, body awareness, and expressive range while learning healthy alignment and efficient movement patterns - building strong, capable bodies and confidence in their own way of moving.
