House dance is more than steps - it’s a conversation between your body, the music, and the people around you.
This class is an invitation to slow down, get curious, and develop a deeper understanding of movement through the lens of house dance culture. Rather than memorizing choreography, you’ll explore why movements work, how they connect, and how to make them your own.
This class centers intention, exploration, and respect for the roots of house dance, creating a supportive space to ask questions, play, and expand what dance means to you - both on and off the floor.
What we’ll focus on
Fundamental house dance principles
Bounce, jack, weight shifts, and engaging with the music
Fundamental footwork vocabulary
Body awareness and self-expression
History and cultural context
Janu’s classes are a great fit if you:
Are a beginner dancer (between 0-3 years of experience)
Are curious about house dance and its culture
Potentially know some steps, but struggle to connect them fluidly
Want to explore the relationship between your body and movement
Care more about understanding movement than copying it
Enjoy asking questions and feel mentally ready to learn in a physical movement environment
Are ready to challenge yourself, grow, and expand creatively
Want to have fun while learning in a thoughtful way
