The UMA Dip: Club Dance & Expression
Build your foundations. Find your movement. Get more daring on the dance floor.
UMA Dip: Club Dance + Expression is a beginner-friendly space to develop dance foundations while exploring individuality, freedom and expression through the culture of club dance.
Drawing from Waacking, House Dance and freestyle club movement, dancers will work with groove, rhythm, footwork, musicality, arm pathways and improvisation while developing their own relationship to the music.
We'll tap into the energy of Disco and Funk through Waacking—playing with musicality, powerful arm movements, posing, drama and personal expression.
Through House Dance, we'll explore groove, footwork and the freedom of moving within the music.
Both forms carry the influence of underground club spaces where dance became a place for freedom, experimentation, community and queer expression. This Dip celebrates that spirit while welcoming everyone to explore what it can unlock in their own dancing.
These foundations become tools for developing your own movement language—not rules for how you are supposed to dance.
Classes encourage you to experiment with what your movement can communicate. Play with attitude, softness, power, rhythm, sensuality, drama and spontaneity. Learn when to follow the groove and when to take it somewhere unexpected.
The goal is to help you become more daring, expressive and confident on the dance floor while building foundations that can deepen your larger dance journey.
What you develop here can travel with you—to the club, into freestyle, into choreography, into other dance classes, and into whatever styles you decide to explore next.
No previous dance experience necessary.
Come build your groove, expand your movement vocabulary, and discover more of how you dance.
