Our Story

Where Words
Come to Life and Community Thrives

Welcome to Words in Motion, a heartfelt endeavor born from my journey as a mother, driven by the desire to nurture and preserve the Spanish language at home. Fueled by a passion to spread and strengthen Spanish language and Latino culture, this academy is not just an educational venture—it's a gift to our community and a manifestation of gratitude to a country that has embraced us while honoring our birthplace. Words in Motion is a lifestyle—it's movement, heart, passion, and above all, family.
