Join us for this unique, creative experience, only offered once a year

The 12-week series is longer (obvi ;) which allows for a deeper creative experience, more collaboration, and more community building. 

Our 4-week series typically teach a specific piece of choreography that the main facilitator creates. In the 12-week, the facilitator is guiding a process where each dancer can contribute to combine different styles and different "dance voices." There will be some elements of learning choreography, and some elements of creating together. We encourage a mix of styles to truly create something unique! 

No problem! With a longer series, we expect everyone to have certain weeks where they aren't able to make it live. 

We'll be streaming the classes on Zoom and recording them, so you can always catch up virtually! We design our class series in this way to make it more accessible for everyone, and to allow you more flexibility if you are traveling, get sick, or if anything comes up. 

We do have other options! We offer 4-week series each month in a variety of styles. Check the schedule to see what's coming up! 

AND if you are intrigued by this type of series but just feel hesitant to commit right away, you are welcomed to start with the first 4 weeks. There's a payment plan option that allows you to pay for the first month to start - we hope that you'll vibe with it and want to continue, but if you truly aren't able to, we won't hold you to it! 

Jess Grippo will be the main facilitator, joined by other choreographers and collaborators soon to be announced! We keep the sessions dynamic and interesting by rotating teachers and formats and weaving in collaborative choreography so that every dance voice in the room can be heard and seen. 

Great! This is THE place to break back in. Most of our members are in a similar boat or have recently started dancing again or for the first time, so rest assured that the people around you GET IT and there is no judgment whatsoever. Classes are paced in a way that you can really adapt it to your level and current ability. 

AND for the first time ever, we're building in Injury Prevention sessions to support you in staying healthy as you get back into your movement. 

Music types vary depending on the teacher and the group. Playlists range from Indie rock and dance music, to pop, to instrumental. Here’s a sample playlist!

In a 12-week series, we typically don't decide on one song for the dance until a few sessions in. This gives us a chance to try out different rhythms as a group,  crowd-source ideas, and bring together our different participants through music. 

If after the first class you truly feel like it's not aligned for you, we'll refund you and cancel your participation. There are no refunds after the second class session begins. 

Yes! We price our classes in our best efforts to be sustainable for our small business, while also being as affordable  as possible for our students. If cost is prohibitive but you are feeling extremely connected to our mission and would love to take part, please fill out the application form above or reach out to jess@jessgrippo.com and we can let you know if there are still scholarship spots available. 

Yes! We are following state mandated requirements.  Masks are currently optional but we will stay in tune with updates and make adjustments if necessary. Studio is clean and spacious and well ventilated. There are also Zoom options for every class if you need to stay more fully distanced. We encourage anyone with any type of sick symptom to join by Zoom. 

Wear clothes you can comfortably move in - barefoot or socks is recommended, but dance shoes are also ok! It's not a fashion show, so don't stress over what to wear ;) Most people wear sweatpants or leggings and a t-shirt. 

We know it can be scary to step into a new dance experience and we'’ve tried our best to be as descriptive as possible so that you can determine if it's your vibe. That being said, it’s still totally normal to be nervous or to have questions! 

We welcome you to connect with our online community  to talk through the nerves and/or reach out to our team at jess@jessgrippo.com. Jess is available for questions and calls.
