Testimonials

I adore each and every one of the teachers. This course not only introduced me to whacking in a way that is going to be ingrained in me for life, but it also made me into an overall more confident dancer. I never wanted to freestyle in front of other people, and look G me now - I frikkin entered a freestyle dance competition!!! I love how safe I felt in class to try new things and experiment with my body. I especially love how all of my other classmates have the same spirit of openness and were also queer and non-binary.

I loved that it was a class with lots of different elements to it! I loved the opportunity to learn from each of the different teachers – having three different perspectives on dance and three different styles to learn from was so helpful. The way that each class was broken up into different portions made the time flyyy by, and every day we had class I was amaaazed at how we learned so much in just 2 hrs! Also cannot stress enough how special it is to have a movement-oriented space that is so accepting and kind. No matter how bad a week was it felt so good to know that at the very least I would have two hours where I could go and be with kind ppl and dance!

I loved playing off everyone's energy and co-creating with partnered freestyle. The non-judgmental acceptance was so encouraging, and I felt like I had a lot of great things to learn from everyone's unique style. I also really liked how each teacher emphasized their unique points of view -- all while embracing the same overall philosophy and positivity.
