The location for all classes will be:
Dance Underground
340 15th Ave E, Seattle, WA 98112
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.
Link It Up addresses the actual bottleneck creating your freestyle anxiety: transitions. Here is where you learn and practice the unglamorous but essential skill of flowing smoothly between moves without all the stop-and-start.
You can expect to learn:
✅ Explore + establish your “connector vocabulary” so you’ve got muscle memory that keeps you from getting stuck
✅ Weight shift, pivot, and traveling concepts that take you past the cookie cutter beginner combos
✅ Strategies to control your energy, create patterns & make connections on the fly
✅ New combos and transitions to inspire your creativity
✅ 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 :)
