Students can expect a focused warmup, added focus on the foot to hop connection (in and out of heels), fun choreography to the music genres listed per day, and a sassy environment set up for video recording yourself!
The choreo is adaptable – wear heels or not, dance in a chair, wheelchair, etc. This workshop will take place in Studio 7, a fully accessible ground floor level studio.
Please note: We will be choosing a group for a heels dance cohort called the “SHEnanigans: Heels Or Not Dance Cohort (you can opt in or out in the workshop registration form). **This is also an excellent and highly recommended opportunity to get ready for Slutcracker 2026 auditions!**
Cost: $20 per class | $70.00 For all four classes
