First time?
Welcome!!
All of our dances are meant to be beginner-friendly -- you can jump right in without any dance background or training. You probably won't get 100% of every move down perfectly on your first day, and that's normal! But from day one you'll be having some fun and getting some cardio in 👏🏻
Our dances are designed so you'll be fully dancing on day 1 -- but you'll also get better at them the more you do them, week after week. By week 4-5 of repeating a dance you may be comfortable enough to add your own "flavor" to the dances, and the fun doubles.
We'll have one instructor dancing on "lower intensity mode" and another on "higher intensity mode" - you can choose who to follow.
