Scared to dance? Busy? Have two LEft Feet? UMA’s Adult Dance Classes are for YOU!

1/30/2018

 
PictureUrban Movement Arts founder Vince Johnson teaching an Adult Hip Hop Class!
At Urban Movement Arts we want you to bring YOU, to be yourself, to find your own groove, your own flavor. Are you doubting yourself, scared to dance, wondering: Am I too old? To big? Too small? Too inflexible? Too busy? Don’t let those voices win! Stop that mess and come take a class with us. Everyone and anyone can get in shape with time. It helps when it’s something that feels goods, that’s fun: like dancing! Are you worried about taking Adult Hip Hop classes because you have two left feet? We understand. So many people think they have two left feet when they first start taking dance classes. Over time, it gets easier. It takes practice. Practice means coming to class as consistently as you can. This means you’ll get to know all the other two-left-feet folks out there too. It’s a lot less intimidating once you realize most people were scared when they took their first adult dance class.


Feel like you don’t have the time? We have many hard working moms and dads coming through our doors, trying to balance work and kids and staying healthy. We understand! Yes, we love when you’re on time, but sometimes the baby sitter is late or a kid’s shoe is gone missing. If you’re a few minutes late: no stress.  Warm up and jump in when you’re ready.  Getting some workout in is better than none at all! Besides, we fully believe EVERYONE has a right to learn to dance, no matter their background or current ability. In addition to parents, our classes are also home to full time students who need to sweat out the stress, as well hard woking au-pairs (talk to us about our discounted price!) looking for some time to themselves. There’s doctors, lawyers, nurses, etc. And yes, there are also professional dancers who come to class. They’re here to learn too! Here at Urban Movement Arts, dance is for anyone willing to sweat it out. ​

Our Recommended Adult Dance Classes for Beginners:

Laurel Card’s Dance Fitness happens Mon, Wed, and Friday mornings. These dance classes are a combination of basic dance fitness moves from Latin and old school hip hop dances that will wake you up with Laurel’s feminine flair!
​

On Tuesday nights, it's Intro to House! This is a great chance to get to know UMA’s founder and director, Vince Johnson. Sure, Vince might be intimidating in the cipher (dance battle!) but when he’s teaching adult classes, he’s in his happy place! This class is a cardio workout where you’ll learn basic footwork and grooves of House dance, an ecstatic and aerobic club dance style that will leave you feeling powerful and free!
