Dance Workshops!

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

In a world where we've been spoiled by Amazon same day shipping, groceries delivered right to our door, every episode and season of our favorite show available for streaming.. there's no surprise that same level of expectation has spilled over into dance.

Whereas dance is a lifelong journey, you can greatly speed up your training in specific areas going the workshop route.

The problem is not many (or any?) studios are offering workshops for Adult dancers.

Until now.

Welcome to dance 101's Dance Fundamental Workshop Series: Another ground breaking educational approach brought to you by the creative team and awesome faculty at dance 101.

The tools are here. Which one will you grab first?

Intro to Hip Hop Workshop/June - FULL!

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 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.
