SUMMARY:High Heels
DESCRIPTION:My classes always begin with a thorough warm-up and stretching\, followed by a clear explanation of High Heels technique to help build balance\, confidence\, and freedom of movement. I focus on creating a supportive environment where dancers feel comfortable exploring both technique and improvisation. Every two classes\, we learn a new choreography. \nCost: $30 single class | monthly pass (4 classes) – $100 total \nRegister: Message on Instagram or text (781) 815-8017 \nREGISTER HERE\n\nWhat is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?\nI teach classical High Heels\, a style deeply influenced by jazz and other dance forms\, which is why we also focus on building this essential foundation. The style is strongly driven by emotional expression\, exploring how to move through feeling\, femininity\, and intention. At the same time\, it builds incredible strength and control in the body. \nWhat background\, training\, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?\nI have been dancing professionally for 19 years\, exploring a wide range of styles throughout my career. About six years ago\, as a performing artist\, I was introduced to High Heels\, and it instantly became a powerful form of self-expression for me. I fell in love with how the style combines technique\, strength\, and emotional depth. Teaching High Heels is my way of sharing this experience and helping others connect to their bodies with confidence and intention. \nFinish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…\nBecause it allows you to channel emotions through the body and develop a confidence that stays with you not only in dance\, but also in everyday life. \n\nHow can students learn more about this offering?\nInstagram: @guanaraa \nContact Information\nContact Alina:\n(781) 815-8017 | a.alinkag@gmail.com
