Adaptations
We are happy to work with all of our students to provide any adaptations to support them in our dance classes. We teach our classes in ASL as well as English and also provide visual descriptions for those of our students who benefit from it. We also provide adaptations for any physical differences and modify movements to ensure our students are met where they are at in the classroom. We focus on providing an environment where our students have autonomy over their bodies and are given choices so that they have a voice in their educational experience. We are also happy to provide 1:1 support for anyone who benefits from it. Contact info@feelthebeat.dance if that is something you’d like to request.
Dance Styles

Our Hip Hop Fusion classes have a deep focus on putting the beat of the music into your body while teaching you fundamentals of hip hop, jazz, Latin and contemporary styles of dance. We use upbeat music and incorporate hip hop culture and history of styles into class, including adaptations for all movements.
Contemporary Fusion:
These classes will include fundamental techniques of contemporary dance as well as learning about the history and emotions behind it! We will focus on elements of emotion through dance, expression, and working on improvisation for dancers looking to explore new ways to move.
