The Adult Street Styles program offers sessional dance classes designed for students aged 16 and up who want to explore vibrant and expressive styles of street dance, specifically House. Classes begin with a warm-up to build confidence and coordination, followed by skill-building exercises and choreographed sequences designed to inspire creativity and self-expression.
House focuses on smooth and fast footwork, musicality, and freestyle creativity, all while dancing to high-energy house music that improves cardio and coordination.
Each session will begin with a FREE workshop so that you can try out the style and the instructor before deciding if you’d like to register for the session.
This is the first of two House sessions.
This is an open-level class suitable to those with varying levels of dance experience. House is a style of street dance that was born in the clubs of Chicago and New York in the 1970’s and 80’s. It is danced to house music and emphasizes fast and smooth footwork.
This class will include a warm-up, learning basic house steps, and some creative freestyle tasks. Over the four-week session, students will learn a choreographed routine created from the steps taught during the classes.
This class focuses on musicality and helps students feel comfortable and relaxed in their dancing bodies. Expect to get sweaty and improve your cardio while dancing to some great (and fast) music!
