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

The 10-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 10-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 recording key segments, 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 preview class on March 2nd. 

Michelle Maso will be the main facilitator who has been dancing and choreographing with us since 2015. 

Check out some of her sample choreography from past series:

2017 “Everyday Movement”

2018 “Raise Hell”

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. 

We encourage total beginners to try the preview class first to determine if it's right for you, since everyone is different. Some dance experience is recommended, as it will move at an intermediate pace, made especially for rusty non-beginners. 

If you consider yourself more of a beginner to dance, please inquire about whether or not this would be a good fit for you! 

For this series, Michelle will be using an upbeat indie-rock song "Dancer" by IDLES, LCD Soundsystem

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

When we can, we offer partial scholarships. 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 reach out to jess@jessgrippo.com and we can let you know if there are still scholarship spots available. 

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.
