Prerequisites for this series- NONE!
If you have never shuffled before, this is the program for you. Designed with total beginners in mind, we move really slow and break everything down in detail for you to make sure you are able to understand the concepts fully. Many people come to this series with no prior dance background at all and they are very successful, so if you’re feeling nervous to try.. don’t be :)
If you have more shuffle experience than a total beginner, but still don’t feel ready for int/adv classes, this series is great for you too. We always teach more advanced moves/modifications/concepts for those who feel ready for a new challenge!
_______________________________________
Topics covered in this program will include:
-Foundations of Melbourne Shuffle
-Foundations of Cutting Shapes (UK style of shuffling)
-How to transition from move to move in order to create combos and freestyle
-How to make the moves look clean and smooth
-A choreography to put all the skills you learn together into a routine you can show off!

Prerequisites for this series: If you’ve already taken the Beginner (intro) series, or you are independently already comfortable with the basic steps like Running Man, T-Step, Charleston, and X-Step, you are ready to join Building Blocks!
Building Blocks is the next step after the Intro series, created for dancers who know the basic steps but freeze up when the music starts and it’s actually time to DANCE. Each month rotates through a different building block of dance confidence: Make It Yours (turning your moves into your moves), Link It Up (smoothing out the transitions and finding creative connections to help you flow), and Find Your Pocket (learning to listen and respond to the music in your own way). Take them in any order! Each month stands on its own, and together they combine to build your own unique shuffle personality.
Make It Yours
This month we will expand your vocabulary and dive deep into the nitty gritty details of what will transform your moves from “I just learned this” to “I’ve got my own style.”
You can expect to learn:
✅ The technique points and specific body cues that will make your moves actually look the way you want them to
✅ Arm movements to pair with your footwork, as well as arm flow concepts to help you create your OWN flows
✅ Multiple variations of the foundational movements, so you’ve got 5 options in your back pocket instead of the same repetitive move over and over again
✅ Cultural context and insight into both Melbourne Shuffle & Cutting Shapes styles
✅ How to move with confidence and cultivate the mindset that will carry you through your dance journey with strength, integrity, creativity, and JOY
Come with a learner’s mentality, ready to ask questions and experiment and have breakthroughs and discover new pieces of yourself you didn’t know were there! I am so excited to dance with you and help you flourish :)

This is a beginner level class, geared toward anyone who has zero-6 months of hooping experience. Learn basic moves, transitions, and fundamentals of flow art that will help you unlock your newest dance obsession.
Hoop dancing is much more than just letting it circle around your waist - in fact, we won’t be waist hooping at all in this class.
As the name suggests, we will cover how to truly dance with your hoop, moving it with grace and control that will mesmerize.
Only a small number of spots are available for this class (we need plenty of space in the studio to move the hoops freely), so sign up as soon as you know you are sure you want to join us!
Hoops will be provided - no need to purchase one just for this class! If you have your own, please bring it, but feel free to borrow during class if you want to try a different size.

BRING WATER - Hooping is a workout and you will want to stay hydrated. There is no water fountain at the studio.
A mixture of free and paid street parking surrounds the studio, and a paid lot is right across the street.

Welcome to the high-energy, high-cardio, high-vibe world of DnB Step! In this beginner-friendly workshop, we will explore this satisfying, hard-hitting rhythmic style in a way that’s approachable but thorough, so that you leave not only drunk off the vibes, but with the detailed knowledge of how to practice the moves correctly on your own at home.
Lace your shoes up tight and get ready to:
Learn the fundamental steps of the style and how to transition between them
How to make the moves actually look good instead of flailing around at 170 BPM
Make your flow extra spicy with footwork tricks and spins
Nail a choreography that will give you lots of fun transitions to practice!
No experience is necessary for this class! If you’ve never Stepped before, be prepared to SWEAT, and also know that you might not nail all the moves at tempo and that’s ok. You come to class to learn the moves, not to be perfect, so let yourself have fun in the process and know that you can always get them up to speed during your own home practice :)

Sunday 10/25 - Add Style to Your Shuffling
3-4pm | (prerequisites: must already know Running Man + T-Step)
Take the moves you know and unlock a deeper understanding of how to manipulate, adapt, and stylize them to express what you want to express. This is the class where things go from feeling like “i’m doing moves” to “i’m actually dancing and interpreting the music through my movement.”
In this 1 hour crash course, you will:
Explore key principles of stylization and how to create infinite variations out of moves you already know
Gain a more thorough understanding of the creative process and mindset that goes into freestyle dance
Learn drills and prompts you can repeat at home to improve your body control, technique, and creative thinking on the fly
Expand (or start to create) your own style
Sunday 10/25 - Beg/Int Choreography
4-5:30pm | (prerequisites: running man, charleston, and t-step will help, or previous dance background that allows you to pick up moves quickly)
You know the moves, now get inspired with new ways to integrate them into your flow! This choreography will have a saucy, mixed-style shuffle base with a hip hop flare and LOTS of musicality moments. Choreography is a great tool to train your timing, angles, control, and transitions.
