The story behind 805 Movement and Performance Arts

In the summer of 2008, a beautiful marriage was conceptualized: A fine arts program built upon a foundation of sport-training principles. Specifically, the integration of two athletic worlds, mirroring a new romance of the two young people representing each half. Marcel Acebo, a lifelong Olympic-style weightlifter, and Nicole Hart, a legacy, multi-disciplined dancer, both with decades of experience, would combine their expertises- along with intertwining their lives through blissful matrimony in 2011- and laid the groundwork for what now stands today as a singularly unique yet powerfully effective dance program. To learn, move, and create, this was Motions Academy of Dance and Athletics.

 

A decade and a half later, this first chapter comes to a close, with so many good memories and incredible achievements. As the relationship between sport and dance has flourished, MADA has now restructured to better support all athletics:

Paying homage to the birthplace of both the young Acebo family and their dream business, 805 Movement and Performance Arts, or 805 MPA, is an organization that welcomes any and all sport disciplines.

We have reimagined sport-skill development with the integration of dance-based techniques that augment and amplify peak athleticism. Conversely, members of the dance and arts communities are invited to learn a new form of confidence through the physical strength and team elements that are all too familiar in sport settings. Whether dance or sport enthusiast, 805 Movement and Performance Arts is a haven for all who have a desire to be better.

At 805 MPA, our goal is to serve the youth of the Central Coast to the best of our abilities. We are a safe space for individuals and families to learn new skills, move your body, and create a lifelong passion for the art of performance.
