The Newest Trend in Adult Dance Learning!

Our Intro to Dance Workshops are intensive educational experiences designed for the busy, the motivated and those new to dance. Is that you?

Why take a workshop?

Because who has the free time to spend years learning to master something? Especially, especially when you have access to programs like these?

Intro to Dance Workshops are specifically designed for those who did not study dance as a kid.

You missed out on some fundamental knowledge that we can’t teach you in a drop in class because they move too fast. Here we slow things down, teach you what you missed and send you into our weekly classes with confidence because you’ll have a solid foundation and a strong level of understanding of what you’re doing! In these workshops, attendance is limited to 10 people and everybody is new so we are able to focus on the basics – which is very helpful.

You can learn a lot just by taking classes, but in a workshop your learning is greatly accelerated – because everything is explained.

But really… Why SHOULD you take an Intro to Dance Workshop?:

Because it’s an amazing experience and you’re worth it. You deserve it. This is for you. For your growth, your wellness, your joy. These are the same reasons you will take classes with us every week. But in a workshop, it’s even more ‘you time’.

You get to be on the receiving end of a teacher that champions you directly.

You will expand your mind and strengthen your body in new ways. And because you’ve made this commitment (even if it’s only 4 classes), you get to schedule other things around it so they don’t stop you from doing this for yourself.

Check out our workshops below. Follow our lead. Let us do this for you.

Learn HIP HOP!

Intro to Hip Hop Workshop with JJ
Thursday January 8th, 15th, 23rd & 30th / 5:30-6:30pm

Hip-hop dance is an art form that can be quickly mastered – if you have the right teacher! As new as it is (in the commercial dance scene), Hip Hop has now been around long enough to have structured training. This is really good news! Back in the day, you learned to dance this way at a club. Not any longer! Unlike other dance styles, Hip Hop is the most evolutionary of all commercial dance genres because it embraces the zeitgeist of fashion, attitude, musicality and athleticism -which is constantly updating. Add to that the influence of many different musical genres, cultures and popular artists. There’s a reason why hip-hop is so captivating to watch and fun to learn: it’s creative, rhythmic, stylish and very “now”. In this 4 week workshop, you’ll be learning from one of our most popular and celebrated teachers: veteran professional dancer John James (known professionally as JJ). He’s in Atlanta for a gig this January and has offered to teach this workshop. You should jump on this, like right now. What would you like to accomplish in 2026? How about this?

Learn BALLET!

Intro to Ballet Workshop with Jessica
Saturday January 10th, 17th, 24th & 31st / 9-10am

Ballet first appeared during the Italian Renaissance in the 15th century -that’s over 700 years ago! Its terminology is in French and many of its exercises are done today the same as they were done centuries ago which is pretty amazing if you think about it. 700 years is a long time to get something right and when you study Ballet, all of its history and wisdom gets passed onto you. Ballet and the ballet barre specifically has only one objective and that is to make a dancer – of ANY kind. No matter what style of dance is your jam: Hip Hop, Contemporary, Jazz, Ballroom, Salsa or Ballet itself…the very best dancers train at the barre – because of what it teaches the body to do. Leave your tutu and tights at home and let your hair down: this is Ballet for adults. Wear your yoga pants and a tank, ballet slippers are not expensive (Amazon) or work in your socks. This is such an amazing experience!

Dance 101 has been introducing Ballet to adults of all ages for 22 years. We got it down. We know how to teach you and if this is something you want for yourself all you have to do is reach out and take it.
