Find Your Flow: Chair Dance Basics

About the Class:

What has six legs, two backs, one seat and one fine ass? You, at our upcoming Chair Dance Basics class! Find Your Flow with this sensual and occasionally silly form of dance (the ratio of sexiness to silliness can be adjusted to suit your mood).

We'll teach you a series of beginner chair moves and some floor work, and then give you the chance to put it all together with choreography to a chosen song (a con-chair-to, if you will...)

Already feel comfortable moving beyond the basics? You do you. This class is appropriate for all skill and comfort levels. The most important thing is that you leave with even more confidence in your sensuality than you had before you walked in. Don't sit this one out...

About the Teacher:

Mel (she/her) has danced in one form or another for the majority of her life and is excited to share the joy of dance with you. She teaches pole, chair, pole flow, and floor work classes at Honey Groove in Grove City. You can see her perform as part of the Villainous Vices Queer Performance Collective and is better known there as Demo.

The Deets: This is a fun, sensual dance class, appropriate for all levels. You will learn various chair moves in a choreography with a song chosen for that class. Leggings are appropriate, knee pads are suggested if you have them, and heels are welcomed, but never required. This is a 21+ event.
