Alternative Heels- MOUNT RIVERVIEW

Early bird rates until 10th Jan!

8 week term in Mount Riverview.

An expressive heels dance class set to alternative music including dark pop, industrial, rock, post-punk, and nu-metal. This class explores grounded movement, musicality, and emotional expression through choreography that values presence, intention, and personal style.

Alternative Heels invites dancers to move beyond traditional commercial aesthetics, drawing from contemporary and jazz influences to explore texture, weight, control, and contrast. Choreography encourages individual interpretation, allowing dancers to connect with the music in ways that feel authentic rather than performative.

Heels are encouraged but always optional. We dont dance in pleasers. Dance boots, character heels, or salsa or latin shoes or all heel heights 9cm and below welcome. Movement options and adaptations are offered to support different bodies, abilities, and experience levels.

This is a supportive, body-positive, and consent-aware space that welcomes dancers of all genders, identities, and backgrounds. The focus is on confidence, expression, and embodied strength, not perfection.

Suitable for beginner to intermediate dancers with some prior movement experience.

Expect an encouraging space to explore heels movement to alternative music.

Book early to avoid disappointment! We transform the space with small mirrors and sensory friendly lights to create a welcoming sensory friendly atmosphere each week.
