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: Floorwork & Flow
Floorwork is a fundamental aspect of Contemporary dance, and we
are making it easy and safe! Learn how to move into and out of the
floor with ease, confidence, and safety. This course introduces
beginner-friendly floorwork inspired by contemporary and
post-modern ideas of weight release, spirals, folding/unfolding,
and momentum-driven pathways. Dancers explore how the body uses
gravity as support rather than resistance, building strength
through softness and control through breath.
Each class works through low-level conditioning, floor pattern
drills, sliding and rolling techniques, and transitions that
connect standing and grounded phrases. Core stability, spinal
articulation, and fluid sequencing are emphasized to help dancers
feel supported and free as they move through space.
We’ll apply our skills to choreography that travels between high
and low levels, helping dancers experience how grounded movement
flows naturally into expressive performance.
Goal: To build comfort and control in floorwork, develop fluid transitions between levels, and experience how grounded technique leads to expressive contemporary choreography.
Who this is good for: Beginners (ages 18+) who want to feel more fluid in movement, reduce stiffness, or overcome fear of floorwork. Ideal for dancers who love earthy, grounded styles, or anyone wanting smooth transitions and more body awareness.
