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 clear choreographies, expressiveness, and performance. The training develops rhythm, movement language, stage charisma, and physical fitness.

Beginners

Beginner-level classes and courses are intended for dancers who are new to the style or who want to return to basics. The pace is calmer, and the movements and choreographies are built clearly and logically. No previous experience in the style is required unless otherwise stated.
