WORKSHOPS & SESSIONS

WORKSHOPS: Minimum 4 per month. Will focus on an intention- Workshops include Footwork, Grooves, Textures (Waves, Sharpness, Lines, etc.), Fundamentals, and select Street Styles (Waacking, Popping, House, etc.)

4-WEEK SESSIONS: Minimum 1 per month. Our 4-Week Sessions are mini progressives that focus on a specific element of dance over the course of four weeks, allowing dancers to dive deep and refine their learning with repetition and feedback. With the same group of dancers each week, you will build upon the previous week and have time to revisit material, ask further questions, have multiple chances to apply the tools and feedback you receive from the instructor.

Keep you eyes out for schedule releases both on social media and in the studio. We aim to release the schedule at least 3 weeks before the start. This way, you can plan your training ahead of time and supplement any areas where you feel you could use more support.
