Every class offers success options — level-ups and level-downs built into the instruction — so you are always challenged without ever feeling lost.

Strength & Stability
Built for every dancer at every level. This class conditions the body, which makes all other movement possible.
Strength & Stability
ALL LEVELS
Condition for control. Build strength, balance, and body awareness through targeted exercises for the feet, ankles, calves, and core. Focus on alignment, stability, and mobility to support every style of movement — from dance to daily life.
What to wear: Comfortable activewear · Socks or bare feet
Rotating Genres
Our rotating genre classes refresh every four weeks, cycling through jazz, contemporary, and modern. Each four-week block follows the same weekly structure — warm-up, center work, across-the-floor, and a short combination — giving you enough time to build on each style before moving to the next.
