Class description

In commercial dance classes, you throw yourself into the world of music videos! Commercial is, as the name suggests, a commercial dance style that fuses different dance genres depending on the music. This energetic and versatile dance style combines influences from street dance, hip hop, jazz, and show dance, among others.

After the warm-up and a short technique section, the classes focus on striking choreographies, expressiveness, and performance. The training develops rhythm, movement language, stage charisma, and physical fitness.

Intermediate / advanced

Intermediate and advanced classes require a few years of active training and background in the specific dance style. You can also participate in intermediate-level classes if you have strong skills in another style. These classes progress faster and include more challenging movement sequences and techniques than, for example, open level classes. Therefore, it is important that the dancer has basic techniques under control when participating in intermediate classes.
