Learn and Master

Have you ever... wanted to learn hip hop dance but felt too shy to go to a studio or don't have a studio nearby to learn?

Would you like to learn to dance but feel like you may be too old or uncoordinated to dance?

What if I showed you how to dance by teaching you simple, step-by-step routines to some of your favorite songs without having to leave your home?

Does that sound/look/feel good to you?

Don't worry, my friends. I've got your back.  You'll be learning basic routines that will get you jump-started in really learning how to move and groove.

If you've ever seen crews such as Kinjas, Poreotics, Mix'd Elements, Jabbawockees, they all started at the same place:

They weren't magically professionals.

I created this dance course for absolute beginners. No dance experience is needed. So if you're a dancer with 2-3 years' experience, this class is NOT for you.

Now if you're ready and you're excited to learn more about your course, let me give you a little taste of that course.

Sound good to you?

You excited? Good.

Here's what I'll be teaching you:

  • Basics of understanding eight counts

  • How to move to the music and be on beat.

  • Textures so your dance doesn't look monotonous

  • How to perform without looking like a deer in the headlights.

The focus of this class: You understanding the dance and feeling confident about yourself.

I take you through a series of routines that are broken down to the finest detail so you can perform it in your very own home.

Whether you're looking for choreography to learn or moves to just be able to use on the dance floor, this class is perfect for you.

This class is constantly being updated with new routines with the most up-to-date music. You can use these routines for your weddings, quinceaneras, talent shows, or the dance floor.

It's entirely up to you.

By the end of this class, you'll be able to perform these routines with ease and feel confident in yourself as a dancer. You can use these routines for your own purposes such as a wedding, bar mitzvah, talent show, etc.

Can you imagine what learning how to dance will do for you?

Imagine in the future how you'll feel when you can better move to the music, hear music 10x better than your average person... you'll never look at yourself the same again because you'll be a much groovier, better version of yourself.

And that starts with you making a choice.

You've got a great idea of how the course works by now, and I hope you're ready and feeling excited. Enroll now to get stared on your class.
