This style blends elements of ballet, modern, and jazz technique with an emphasis on flow and free movement. All experience levels are welcome! We’re keeping this capped at 12 so that dancers get ample room to move!

🚨GUEST WORKSHOP | W*acking with

You’ve seen her on stage at our exhibition battles and now, the incredible Muse is coming in to teach on Oct 18th 3:30PM! Originating in 1970s Los Angeles gay clubs, Whacking (or W*acking) emerged from punking as a powerful dance form centered on QTBIPOC self-expression.

Characterized by striking, arm rolls, intricate pathways, dramatic posing and intense musicality, it is a style rooted in performance and storytelling. In this class, students will build foundational technique and speed while honoring the culture’s history and finding their own confident expression on the floor.
