Life is too short to not dance...
...or to spend time at a place you don't love.
It's hard to find classes that are made for adults and also feels welcoming.
If you're anything like us, there are four things that would make a perfect class:
- Just for adults
- Warm and welcoming
- Just the right amount of challenge
- Affordable
Are you ready to take a class?
Maybe you're way ready.
Or, maybe you're a bit nervous.
We've been there, too. That's why we do things differently here.


Creative Release
A space to lose yourself, express, and feel the music.

Physical Connection
Get in touch with your body and challenge it in new ways.

Real Community
Vibrant, welcoming, and ready to dance with you!
Hi, I'm April...
In 1994 I went into foster care.
By 1997, I had moved through 22 homes and was now living in my car.
In 2006, I fell in love with dance, quite by accident. I was 25 when I took my first class.
Dance was the first therapy that worked. It reconnected me to my body, mind creative spirit, and gave me this great common language to speak with others. When I say dance is powerful, I am speaking from full conviction.
Over the last 11 years, I built a beautiful, vibrant community in Southern California in our first location. Now it's to build again here on the Northshore.
Dive in. You won't regret it.
-April MacLean
