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
Meet your Instructor:
Seattle-based artist Orb (Circle Of Fire/SoulShifters) is a true icon in the world of street dance culture. With over 33 years of experience in Hip-Hop (Breaking) and House Dancing, he has left an indelible mark on the global dance scene. A seasoned instructor who can often be found judging and MCing battles in the Seattle area, we are extremely lucky to have him join us as the first House Dance instructor YCSWU has had the pleasure to host.
