"When I embarked on my dance journey, my life transformed in ways I never imagined. Dancing opened up a whole new world for me. It's more than just movement; it's a new way to walk and feel the world around me. Through dance, I've come to know myself in a completely different light. It has become a significant anchor in my life, providing a sense of inner movement and rhythm that resonates deeply within me. Dance isn't just a part of my life; it's a part of who I am."

"I ventured into dance at the age of 40, coming from a world of computers. It was astonishing to discover the vast possibilities of movement between my body and the floor. This journey into dance has been eye-opening, revealing a range of motions I never knew existed. Now, I find myself dancing weekly, even if it's just in the comfort of my home. Initially, I was intimidated, wondering how I'd ever remember all the steps. But amazingly, with just a few lessons, my body adapted. It's been an incredible journey of growth and discovery."
Yaron (40+)
"I had a passion for dance in my childhood, but life took me in a different direction. A few years ago, a deep urge to move resurfaced. That's when I found Contact Improvisation (CI), and it was a revelation, love at first sight. This discovery led me to explore more classes and learn from various teachers. I've since embraced movement and touch as central to my life and work. I have reignited my dance story, proving to myself it's never too late to return to what you love."

I have a question

Absolutely not! Our classes are specifically designed for adults with no prior dance experience. We focus on creating a welcoming and supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace.
Our classes are tailored to accommodate adults of all fitness levels. While dance is a physical activity, our instructors ensure that routines are manageable and focus on gradual progression. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities.
Yes, you can! We often offer trial classes for newcomers to experience a session before signing up for a full program. It’s a great way to get a feel for our teaching style and the class environment.
It’s completely normal to feel that way when starting something new. Our classes are all about personal growth and enjoyment, not judgment or competition. You’ll find our dance community supportive and encouraging, making it easier to overcome any initial hesitations.
Comfort is key! We recommend wearing clothing that allows you to move freely. Flexible workout attire, such as leggings, t-shirts, or comfortable pants, is ideal. For footwear, socks or bare feet are usually suitable for beginners, but we will provide specific recommendations based on the dance style.
