Victoria’s class is rooted in a deep love for the art of dance and a passion for musical theater. Her warmup, across the floor exercises, and choreography emphasize the importance of a strong technical foundation. Students will be challenged to hone their musicality, style, and storytelling through full combinations. Class is a precious space where students will be encouraged to make mistakes and try new ideas; a noncompetitive, supportive environment will be fostered. In short- get ready to sweat, work hard, and have a blast.
