Class Description – Heels
In this class we will do a full-out-with-feeling warmup and learn a piece of heels choreography. We will focus on lines, weight transfers, clear execution of movement, and how to feel FAB and confident in a heel. Always come prepared for floorwork and to keep your knees safe! Music will be loud, vibes will be high! Let’s dance babes!
Class Description – Commercial Contemporary
Class will always begin with a full out and full body warmup, and then go into learning a piece of contemporary choreography. We will work on finding expansion and a sense of groundedness in our movement, while still prioritizing the joy of dancing. We also bring in an aspect of commercial dance, with choreography that encourages shaper execution to variety of music. Always come prepared for floorwork, big movement, and lots of delicious dance fun!
