Class description
In heels classes, dancing in high heels is practiced through various technical exercises and choreography. The style draws influences from commercial and jazz dance as well as vogue and street dance cultures. Heels is known for striking lines, sensual movement language, and strong expression – exactly the kind of attitude seen in music videos and stage performances.
The class begins with a warm-up without shoes and includes mobility and leg-strengthening exercises. After that, walking in heels, weight transfers, correct body alignments, and turns are practiced. After the technique section, choreography is worked on and expression and performance are practiced. The choreographies vary in style, but the most important thing is personal commitment and the courage to be visible as yourself.
We recommend high heels with a thin sole and a narrow stiletto heel for heels classes. There’s no need to stress too much about shoes! You can participate especially in beginner courses with almost any heels, as long as they feel good on your feet. Remember to clean the soles carefully if you have used them outdoors.
Here you can find tips for purchasing high heels for heels classes.
