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.

Intro to Contemporary: Technique & Musicality
Build a strong technical foundation while discovering how your body responds to music, rhythm, and breath. This course introduces students to essential contemporary technique inspired by modern dance styles such as Horton (shapes and strength), Graham (spirals and contractions), and Limón (breath and fall/recovery).
Dancers will learn fundamental concepts like weight shift,
breath phrasing, connected pathways through the spine, and how
dynamics shape movement quality. Each week includes conditioning,
centre work, across-the-floor progressions, and phrase
building.
We’ll apply our developing technique to choreography, working
toward a short piece learned throughout the session. Students get
to experience how structured contemporary technique transforms into
expressive, musical performance.
Goal: To develop coordination, rhythm, contemporary alignment, and breath-driven movement while building confidence in musicality through choreography.
Who this is good for: Beginners (ages 18+) who want a clear technical roadmap for contemporary, or who enjoy learning through structure, rhythm, and choreography. Especially great for dancers transitioning from ballet or jazz, or those who want a technique-focused introduction before exploring floorwork or improvisation.
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.
