Learn how to move in heels with alignment, confidence, and control. This foundational course introduces proper mechanics for dancing in heels, focusing on posture, core engagement, weight distribution, ankle strength, hip pathway control, and clean lines.

Dancers will explore fundamental drills including heel walks (strut, catwalk, and groove-based walking patterns), foot articulation in heels, hip initiation, controlled transitions, turns in heels, and basic floor awareness. Each week develops both technique and performance quality, emphasizing safety, intention, and personal expression.

Students will apply their technical practice to choreography, working toward a short piece built gradually over the 6-week session. Beyond movement, the course emphasizes confidence, character-building, and interpretation, helping dancers discover their own style in heels — whether sultry, fierce, soft, or bold.

Goal:
To build safe, confident heels technique and expressive performance skills while working toward a final piece that highlights individual style and intention.

Who this is good for:
Beginners (ages 18+) who love music videos, commercial dance, or want to feel more empowered and expressive on stage or socially. Perfect for those curious about dance in heels, whether brand new to movement or transitioning from hip hop, jazz, or ballroom. No experience required — just a pair of heels you can move in and a willingness to show up for yourself.

Step into the foundations of Hip Hop culture and movement through groove, rhythm, and foundational street dance techniques. This course focuses on the core building blocks of Hip Hop freestyle and choreography, exploring bounce, rock, jack, step variations, isolations, and bass-driven weight shifts.

Students learn how to dance inside the beat—not just follow it—by training musical responsiveness, rhythmic patterning, and Hip Hop textures such as sharp vs. smooth, heavy vs. light, and pocket vs. attack. Across the floor and centre combinations include foundational movement styles inspired by Old School Hip Hop, House influence, Party Dances, and Funk styles (locking grooves, downrock foundations, and basic footwork variations may be introduced at a beginner level).

Each class ends with phrase work where students apply technique to choreography, building toward a short piece over the 6 weeks. Dancers gain confidence in performance, timing, and groove while developing their own personal “flavour.”

Goal:
To introduce rhythm-based Hip Hop foundations and groove technique that can be applied to choreography or freestyle, while building musical awareness and confidence through a final choreography.

Who this is good for:
Beginners (ages 18+) who are new to Hip Hop or want to learn how to groove, dance confidently to music, and understand hip hop foundations instead of just learning trendy moves. Perfect for anyone who wants to dance with more style, bounce, power, and musicality.
