Clubbing 101 on Tuesdays at 18:00 to 19:15 in April is an immersive dance experience designed to reconnect you with the pure joy of movement. The session highlights some of the core elements of club dances – connection, exchange, and the dramaturgy of a club night. Expect to dive into some basic dance techniques, while remembering that, the essence of partying and freedom is at the heart of it all.
From hip hop to amapiano, dancehall to house, and beyond, we’ll move through a rich mix of music genres that represent the vibrancy of club culture.

Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or just starting out, this class offers a space for creativity and liberation through dance.
