Are there any age restrictions for taking classes? 

House of Movement's classes are open to all ages and skill levels. Currently, our youngest student was a 9 year old girl who enjoyed taking our beginner hip hop class. Parents are encouraged to accompany their children to the studio, where they can either watch class from the side or take class as well and make it a family fitness activity!

What can I expect during my 90-min long class? 

Typically our classes start with a warm-up and stretch that lasts for up to 30 minutes. This is aimed to get your blood pumping and body conditioned for dance. For the remainder of class, you will learn a dance routine from one of our talented choreographers. At the end of class, your choreographer will demonstrate the routine for the class, and you can record the demo for practice at home. The only thing we ask is that you don't post your video on social media without our permission, as we will post a video of the choreography on our YouTube channel.
