w/ Selina & Kira
Deepen your knowledge of the Momentum system and gain precision by revisiting and exploring movements such as passbys, ochos, and their variations. Expand your repertoire with rides, the Lindy pop turn, and triple steps. With a focus on lead and follow techniques, this class gives you the tools to start abstracting your dance and exploring its dynamics, rhythm, and spatial patterns, rather than focusing on each movement individually. 

w/ Kira & Selina
Discover stretch and compression partnership skills primarily in closed position as you learn ochos, merry go rounds, momentum turns, and more. Explore how to create and maintain connection through rotational pathways to express rhythmic elasticity in partnership. With a focus on connection and balance, this class expands your movement repertoire to enable new ways of interpreting the music and communicating with your partner.

w/ Elliot
Join Elliot for an engaging solo dance class designed for beginner and intermediate dancers. Each week, you'll learn simple, repeatable step patterns and explore how to extend that movement from your feet through your entire body — hips, spine, arms, head, and beyond. Through exercises in musicality, level changes, arm styling, and direction changes, this class will help you refine your body awareness, build confidence in your movement, and enjoy connecting to the music. We'll also explore how these solo skills translate into partnered dancing, opening up new possibilities for expression within your fusion dancing. This class is specifically designed for students learning partner dance who are looking for space to practice their foundations and develop their creativity in solo dance.

w/ Kenya & Elliot

This progressive series on micro, a fusion dance idiom, aims to support students in growing their sensitivity, exploration, and body mechanics within tiny dances. Drawing from their experiences in Blues and Urban Kiz, Elliot and Kenya will zoom in on their micro connection and share some of the mechanics they use in their own dances. This series will refine foundations from other Academy classes like frame and tone, rotational movement, and close embrace to explore axis manipulation, isolations, and build a frame that can shift connection points and expand to the full body. Through creative exercises, students will play with the application of these techniques in the context of musicality and lead/follow collaboration.
