TWERK IT OUT

Learn to shake your booty like you never have before. If you’ve been dreaming of twerking in the club or twerking in your bedroom then this class is for you. Guaranteed to laugh and have a good ASS time! Open to all ages 18+ and no prior twerk experience necessary. I can teach you, I can love you, because you’ve got it going on. We do the same combo 2 weeks in a row so that that booty starts to create some muscle memory for all the different types of twerks.

TAP 101: FUNDAMENTALS

Physical x Mental = Rhythm. This class will develop the mental skill necessary to create rhythmic tap phrases, beginning with the fundamentals and rudiments. These modules are taught to music from every generation to present the concept of rhythm as an experiential language, and tap as a head-to-toe interpretation of that language.

STRETCH LAB

This isn’t your average stretch class—it’s a lab for embodied alchemy. Rooted in somatic wisdom and inspired by the fluidity of dance, Stretch Lab blends dynamic stretching, mobility work, and strength-based movement into a rhythmic, music-driven experience of deep embodiment. It’s not quite yoga. Not just stretching. But a secret third thing. Here, “stretch” becomes a ritual—an exploration of breath, awareness, and authentic expression. Guided by immersive soundscapes, you’ll move through fluid, primal patterns that dissolve tension, build inner strength, and expand your range—supporting both dance and everyday movement. Expect a potent balance of restoration and activation. Intuition and control. Stillness and power. Whether you’re a dancer, a mover, or simply craving a more connected relationship with your body, this class invites you to soften, strengthen, and stretch into something more. Stretch your limits. Stretch your awareness. Stretch what you thought movement could be. Drop in, feel the beat, and move with your whole self. Your body already knows the way.

SHUFFLE N' FLOW

Ready to take your shuffling to the next level? This class mixes fun choreography with freestyle exploration so you can build confidence, control, and your own unique style. We’ll blend shuffling with shaping and other fast footwork styles you’ve seen at festivals, clubs, and all over social media — set to energetic electronic and pop music that keeps you moving. Each combo is taught over two weeks to help you build muscle memory, sharpen precision, and really feel the movement. Whether you’ve taken Shuffle 101 or already know the basics, this is where you start finding your flow — your rhythm, your flavor, your vibe. Prerequisite: Take Shuffle 101 at least once before joining! (must know and be fluent in shuffling fundamentals)

SHUFFLE 101

Always wanted to learn how to shuffle but don’t know where to start? Shuffling is a high-energy style of dance that mixes quick footwork and rhythmic slides to the beat — think dance-floor cardio with major feel-good vibes! This beginner-friendly class breaks it all down — no experience needed. You’ll learn the basic moves and transitions that make up this energetic dance style, build confidence step by step, and get a killer cardio workout while you’re at it. Come solo or bring a friend — we start slow, laugh a lot, and celebrate progress over perfection. Once you’re ready, you can level up to Shuffle N’ Flow , but you can keep coming back to 101 as long as you like for practice and fun!

SAMBA MOVEMENT

Get ready to move your body and sweat it out as we delve into Samba Movement. This fun and informative class focuses on Brazilian samba, and the many variations that encompass the vibrant country! Think lots of hip rolls, hip shaking, and hip circles, and some fun and easy footwork. Leave your inhibitions at the door & come shake it out!

LIQUID MOTION

Be prepared to worship the sacred temple that is your body. In this class you will dance as you never have before with full presence, grounding, intention, and following the flow of your unique body. We’ll begin with a meditation and breathwork practice, grounding us in our bodies and attuning us to the energies of the season, the stars, and the divine. From there, we’ll warm up with a blend of yoga and yoga therapy techniques to prepare our bodies for movement. Next, we’ll learn 3 to 4 signature Liquid Motion moves, break them down, explore their flow, and allow you space to play and experiment. We’ll then integrate these movements into a choreographed sequence with plenty of space for exploration and embodiment. Liquid Motion is a floorwork-based dance method that activates the senses and cultivates total body awareness. By tuning into how your body naturally wants to move, you’ll discover a new level of fluidity, grace, and embodiment. Throughout the class you’ll have the freedom to listen to your body’s wisdom - flowing with the full sequence, drawing from its elements, or allowing your body to move intuitively and create something uniquely your own. This is a space of endless potential and possibilities. You will learn to connect deeply to your body as your most sacred temple, create deep trust and connection to all layers of your being, and experience the freedom of true self-expression. I invite you to step into this transformative space where movement, breath, and intention come together to create a deep sense of embodiment, empowerment, and self-love.

JAZZ FUSION

Jazz Fusion is a class where you can deepen your knowledge of different dance genres as we mix styles such as Jazz, Feminine Vibe, Contemporary, and Lyrical.
