Founder & Director
Brooke Loncorich
My love for dance began at the age of three and continued throughout my childhood and teenage years. Over the course of 14 years, I trained in a variety of dance styles, including ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, hip-hop, and dance line. Dance provided me with not only technical skills, but also confidence, discipline, creativity, and lifelong memories that have stayed with me long after leaving the studio.
As the years passed, I had the privilege of watching my daughter discover the same passion for dance that shaped so much of my own life. Seeing her grow as a dancer and develop a love for performing reignited my passion and reminded me of the positive impact dance can have on a child's confidence, friendships, and personal growth.
Inspired by our shared love for dance, I made the decision to turn that passion into something meaningful for our community. Alongside my daughter and a close family friend who shares the same dedication and enthusiasm for dance, we founded Pure Motion Academy.
At Pure Motion Academy, our mission is to create a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive environment where every dancer feels valued, encouraged, and empowered to reach their full potential. We believe dance is more than movement—it's a way to build confidence, express individuality, create lasting friendships, and develop skills that extend far beyond the studio.
I am honored to share my lifelong passion for dance with the next generation and look forward to helping every dancer discover the joy, confidence, and opportunities that dance can bring.

My love for dance started at the age of three when i started dancing at Kelly's Dance Academy. Then continued on for 15 years and started assisting in 2009 at the age of 13. I then continued on to teach until spring of 2026. I have experience with tap, jazz, ballet, lyrical, hip hop, contemporary, as well as some out of the ordinary categories such as Irish, and bollywood.
Within my time dancing there i was presented with many opportunities. Such as the jump dance convention were I was a student to Meshia Gabriel and Kenny Wormald. Then in 2014 when we were invited to dance at the orange bowl halftime show with Billy Carrington. Next in 2017 we preformed at nationals in Chicago and won! Then chose to preform at disney in 2018. All were wonderful experiences that helped me grow in my confidence and further my love for dance.
I am honored to be a part of Pure Motion Academy and the vision we bring to the community! I can not wait to see every dancer shine and grow!
