The location for all classes will be:

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 :)
