What is a typical class like?
What is a typical class like?
Each class, we like to start with a quick get-to-know-each-other show and tell. Then, we warm-up and improv to some of our favorite songs, as requested by the students, which is followed by learning a new dance or enjoying a fun YouTube follow-along video (yoga, hula, you name it!). We like to make any necessary modifications to our class as we get to know the dancers, especially regarding involvement and skill. We try our best to make everyone feel included and have fun!
