About

For many adults, dance can feel inaccessible. Either highly performative, technically intimidating, or disconnected from the simple joy of moving to music with other people. In this beginner focused course, you’ll learn the building blocks of street style inspired dance, such as Hip Hop, House, Waacking and Vogue. Taught from scratch, you’ll develop rhythm, coordination, and confidence so you can feel at ease in your body and on the dance floor.

You’ll explore how each style/music genre can bring out a different version of yourself (eg, House can promote feeling free, Vogue promotes presence, Waacking promotes emotional storytelling, etc), so you develop a greater sense of freedom, responsiveness, and play, whether in social spaces, other dance classes, or in everyday life.

For participants who feel especially drawn to a particular style, the course can also serve as a gateway into New York’s larger dance ecosystem. Throughout the series, you’ll be pointed toward classes, sessions, social events, battles, and communities where you can continue developing your practice and build deeper connections within the city’s rich street dance cultures.

Some classes may include guest teachers from the street dance community.
