👀 What to Expect 👀
Each class will start with a warm-up and stretch then lead directly into the choreography. Since this is a choreography workshop rather than a techqniue one, there will be less focus on technique and more emphasis on learning steps, integrating style, musicality, and performance skills.
For the beginner classes, we recommend having taken at least a couple ballet, jazz, or contemporary classes. However, no extensive experience is required and we'll be taking it at a slow and comfortable pace. Everyone is welcome here!
For the int/adv classes, we recommend having a few years of dance experience and knowledge of basic jazz and contemporary foundations. Our int/adv classes will move at a faster pace and involve some technique-based elements.
