We’ll focus on Contemporary-ish choreography that gets you moving expressively. There’s less of an emphasis on super technical moves, making it adaptable for beginners and rusty non-beginners.
April 5 - May 10, 2024
Friday evenings 7-8:30pm ET
182 4th Ave, Brooklyn NY
Could be you if you don’t feel like a dancer because you haven’t been dancing or never really had the opportunity to, but know that you want to and are one deep down
You if you feel like the tin man: maybe your joints are creaky and/or stiff, maybe you've had injuries that have held you back, maybe you're out of practice - but you don't want that to stop you from dancing again!
You have been dancing lately, but you're craving more consistency and community, and would like to explore a creative process with movement and expression
You're spending a lot of your creative energy on leading others in movement, and you feel a bit burnt out and would love to get re-inspired and connected, and have a space to explore your own expression
If you want to connect with your body and your expression through dance, and value expression over strict technique… IT’S FOR YOU!
If you want to feel like a dancer again and be a part of something beyond yourself… IT’S FOR YOU!
If you want to let go of past dance conditioning like perfectionism, criticism, or unrealistic body ideals and instead embrace who you are as a dancer and human today… IT’S FOR YOU!
WE WELCOME ALL AGES, ALL BODIES, ALL LEVELS, AND ALL STYLES OF DANCE.

6 weeks of collaborative dance sessions that will build up to the creation of a group dance piece
An in-studio performance on May 15th at 8pm ET, open to the public and alongside other creative dance pieces from classes and companies with aligned values
Stay connected through a private group and catch up on any choreo that you miss - we'll be sending video recaps each session in case you have to miss a rehearsal for any reason
Use this link to sign up - a 2-part payment plan is available if needed!
Please reach us at jess@jessgrippo.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
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 doing video recaps after each class, 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.
While elements of the dance were started with the March series on Tuesday nights, we'll be going deeper with the choreography and adding more throughout our Friday sessions. If you missed March, we are happy to provide videos to help you get caught up where needed, but there will also be options that allow you to start fresh and learn the new parts only.
Michelle Maso and Dana DeFrancesco, 2 of our most veteran Dance Again facilitators will be leading this series!
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.
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!
The plan for this series is to use Sarah Brightman's song "Deliver Me." Plans might change but that's where we'll start!
If after the first class you truly feel like it's not aligned for you, we'll refund you for future sessions and cancel your participation. There are no refunds after the second class session begins.
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 reach out to our team at jess@jessgrippo.com and danceagain@jessgrippo.com.

After college, I moved to a small town with very few dance opportunities for adults, and for four years I stopped dancing for the first time in my life. I always said that if I realized my dream of moving to NYC, a place rich with dance opportunities for anyone and everyone, I would start dancing again.
I moved to NYC in November 2014, but I didn't start dancing. I felt out of practice and intimidated to return to a traditional studio setting, and I realized my location was not the only thing holding me back. Then, a former dance teacher and now dear friend told me about Dance Again. A day later I spoke with Jess and decided to enroll. Within a week, I was dancing again, and a few weeks later I was performing for the first time in ten years.
If something is holding you back from dancing again or you've been hoping for an opportunity to dance again free from comparison or competition, I highly recommend Dance Again.
