Beginner
Groove Foundations
Learn how to move with the music, not just on top of it.
This class focuses on rhythm, groove, and timing — the skills that make dance feel natural and confident. You’ll work through simple patterns and drills that help things click in your body, even if you’ve never danced before.
Many dancers start here after Open House.

Beginner/Intermediate
Hip Hop Foundation
This class focuses on the building blocks of Hip Hop freestyle — bounce, rock, and roll — and how they live in the music and in your body. We explore how Hip Hop movement evolves, so you’re learning with intention, not imitation.
Not recommended for brand new dancers. This class is for movers with strong coordination who want Hip Hop to feel honest and grounded.

Open Level
House Dance
This open level House class is for dancers with an existing movement foundation. We focus on House vocabulary, rhythm, release, and flow—training how the dance lives in the music and moves through your body. Instruction is adapted in real time. Newer-to-House dancers receive more structure and guidance, while more experienced dancers are expected to focus on personal practice and refinement.
Not recommended for brand-new dancers. You should be comfortable with grooving, musicality, and faster-paced learning.

Intermediate/Advanced
Freestyle Lab
Deepen your freestyle with clarity and intention.
This class is for dancers who already freestyle comfortably and want to refine how they move. You’ll explore your existing habits and choices, testing new pathways through rhythm, texture, and direction with focused coaching and space to experiment.
This is where dancers start owning their voice and moving with confidence and clarity.

Open Level
Strength Foundations
Build strength that supports how you move.
This class helps you understand how strength training works and how it should feel in your body. You’ll learn to approach workouts with clarity and confidence, not guesswork.
For many dancers, this is where training starts to translate — more groundedness, more control, and a clearer connection between strength and movement.
