BOOTY TALK with Honeybee
6pm – 6:55pm
Let your booty lead the way! Get ready to move, shake, and sweat in this high-energy dance class where your hips and booty take center stage. Designed to celebrate the power and rhythm of hip movement, this class blends fun, technique, and Caribbean-inspired vibes to get you grooving with confidence.
We’ll kick things off with foundational hip and core movement training to build strength, control, and style. From there, you’ll learn choreography that lets your hips guide every step, ending with a fun and empowering Soul Train-style freestyle line where you get to express what you’ve learned.
Perfect for all levels, this class is about letting go, having fun, and owning your movement. Bring a towel, a water bottle, and your best energy—let’s dance, Vancouver!
What to wear/bring: barefoot or clean sneakers your choice, Knee pads, and tight fitting clothes to see your body shape.
VILLAIN ERA FLOORWORK: GRINCH EDITION with Gigi Lavande
7pm – 7:55pm
Slide, slink, and sprawl into the season with this darkly festive floorwork workshop led by Gigi Lavande. Get inspired by the Grinch’s swagger and tap into your inner holiday villain in a floorwork class full of mischievous energy. Expect a playlist full of brooding bangers, slinky beats + erotic floorwork choreography that looks naughty and feels sooo nice.
This is an intermediate-level class (some dance experience recommended) featuring both guided choreography and space to explore your own feral, Grinchy character. Dressing up isn’t required—but villain chic or whatever makes you feel your most confident is always encouraged! Stiletto heels and platform heels (i.e. Pleaser shoes) permitted.
If you’re new to floorwork or dancing in heels, you’re still welcome! Please bring knee pads and indoor shoes or bare feet—safety first, mischief second!
LYRICAL TEASE with Androsia Wilde
8pm – 8:55pm
Explore how the art of striptease can be used to speak to the spectrum of human emotion through dance. Combining elements of contemporary movement with an emphasis on musicality, deliberate yet restrained movement, and the power of a well-honed slow burn, students are invited to tap into their bodies, slow things down, and really sink into the idea of daring to be both emotionally vulnerable and captivating all at once. The perfect, moody way to end an evening of workshops…
