SEMI-PRIVATE DANCE WORKSHOPS!

The Newest Trend in Adult Dance Learning – is at dance 101!

The hardest part about trying something new is starting, but the easiest part is following our lead.

Enter The Dance Fundamental Workshop Series! These workshops are designed to welcome you to dance in a comfortable and supportive environment.

Why start with a workshop?

In a workshop you learn faster which is very satisfying when you’re starting something new. Imagine walking into your first class and already knowing the routine, it’s kinda like that. Already one step ahead.

Our workshop graduates emerge from the experience feeling greatly empowered. They’ve learned to replace the fear of trying something new with curiosity about how the experience will benefit them and with that kind of attitude, their exploration of dance does a 180 from “I can’t” to “I can and will”.

And while our weekly classes are OPEN to everyone, if you’re feeling uncertain about what that experience might be like, there’s an alternative: take a workshop. Knowledge = Confidence = Enjoyment.

Our workshops are crash courses that can skip you to the front of the class, help you bust through a “block” or introduce you to a dance genre you’re curious about. You’ll be amazed at how quickly and how much you will learn in our workshops – by design!

Each workshop consists of 4 classes over 4 weeks and are intimate in size. You can expect to meet some pretty awesome people (like yourself) and you’ll fall in love with dance 101. You’ll experience what this amazing studio is all about (read the student essays in Our Story) and your life will be enriched in ways you can’t even imagine right now.

Follow our lead. We’re here for you.

Note: Workshops fall into two categories: On-going (Semi Private) and dance Labs.

On-going workshops are continuously offered and keep cycling through from month to month.

Dance Labs are speciality workshops that focus on a particular topic that is taught sequentially. dance Labs are not on-going. You start with the first class and follow through to the fourth.

DANCE LABS NOW ENROLLING!

Dance Labs are speciality workshops that focus on a particular topic that is taught sequentially.

STYLE: HIP HOP

dance Lab: Intro to Hip Hop
Saturdays 11am-12pm with Grace starting August 3rd

Hip-hop dance is an art form that is welcoming and accessible to anyone! Linking together style, attitude, passion, musicality and athleticism plus the fusion of many different methods, cultures and influences, there’s a reason why hip-hop is so captivating to watch and fun to learn. If you catch yourself watching videos of dance crews, eyeing the back-up dancers in music videos, or you see people dancing at the club and think: “I wish I could move like that…” Get ready— because you CAN! In this 4 week workshop, veteran professional dancer Grace Carter will give you the tools you need to feel confident and at ease in this dance style that isn’t going anywhere soon. You’ll be equipped with 4-5 different base moves that are the building blocks for a ton of different old school and new school moves and styles. You’ll be able to pull them out of your arsenal at the club, at weddings, in a freestyle circle, or in your next hip hop class— without overthinking it! By the end of this 4 week experience, not only will you be comfortable with the art of hip-hop but also more at ease and connected to yourSELF.

BALLET BARRE (4 Weeks) with Grace

dance Lab: Intro to Ballet Barre
Saturdays 1:30-2:30pm starting August 3rd

Why should you take this workshop? Well, considering that ballet barre training’s sole objective is to make dancers (in all dance styles), let’s start here. If there is a particular dance style you’d like to master quickly, the barre will get you there the fastest. Not kidding. You should be running to your next barre class!

STYLE: TAP

dance Lab: Intro to Tap
Sundays 12-1pm starting August 4th

New Month, New Adventure! Tap is a really fun dance style that can be quickly mastered when you start off with a fundamentals workshop like this. No tap shoes, no problem! We have them for rent ($4) until you become so addicted you purchase your own. Tap training engages the mind, is a great cardio workout (when you get down some basic steps), and a fantastic stress buster – not to mention a truly entertaining art form. Carve an hour out of your week to do this for yourself.

STYLE: STRETCH & FLEXIBILITY

dance Lab: Dancers’ Stretch

Our Dancers’ Stretch class is a rare jewel. Not often will you encounter a workout that applies the artistry of dance to the science of flexibility.

Imagine how much more you will benefit when you expand your awareness to include every aspect of this experience.

“I was already sold on the benefits of Ofelia’s Dancers’ Stretch and Conditioning class, but the 4-week workshop took it to a whole new level. Breaking down each movement and understanding the intention, mindset and muscles that we are focusing on is a gamechanger. Your growth and flexibility, both in and out of class, will be supercharged by this workshop. -Kara R.

dance Lab: Jazz Turns (Beginner/Experienced Beginner)

Let’s delve deeper into turns! Jazz turns, to be exact. Expand your knowledge of jazz vernacular and build upon the foundations of turning, adding a wider range of turns to your toolkit. This workshop is perfect for the beginner or experienced beginner dancer who wants to take their clean singles to solid doubles, to refine their technique moving across the floor, to execute consistently, and to go beyond being in their head while turning- instead, being able to layer in jazz style, texture and joy!

Great for graduates of our Intro to Turns and Intro to Jazz Workshops!
