REAL WORDS FROM REAL STUDENTS
What Adults Are Saying
The class was exactly what it said — beginner Hip Hop, not beginner-but-not-really. The teacher made us feel so energized and open and unjudged. I learned a lot about the different feel of Hip Hop compared to other styles.
Adult dance classes here are so much more than a dance class. You are able to tap into your creativity, connect with your community in a safe non-judgmental space. After class I really feel great about myself inside and out.
Danzversity is my sanctuary to let it go! I joined the Elemental dance series and really appreciated the opportunity to feel more connected to myself and to the Earth through the four elements.
ONE CLASS. TWO ROOMS.
Learn It. Live It.
(Found)ations runs Mon–Thu at 7:00 PM — 75 minutes, one commitment. The first ~50 minutes are The Classroom: instruction, drills, the Method. Then the lights dim and the same room becomes The Session — the cypher that closes every class. You don’t register for two things or stay for a second hour. You learn it, then you live it, every single night.
Where it all begins. (Found)ations is the founding of self — the roots of the movement, the history and culture behind it, and the principles every dancer stands on. Movement Literacy through the four Elements of the Elemental Dance Method: vocabulary, body mechanics, and The Bounce. Drills, breakdowns, repetition, and the Culture Plug. Learn the moves. Honor the roots.
How every class closes — a supportive circle where dancers take turns and everyone hypes the dancer in the middle. Lights dim, mirrors off, music gets louder. The instructor becomes MC. Every prompt has a base layer and a stretch layer, so you work at your edge — The Bounce makes it work, everyone’s on the same beat.
EVERY CLASS
What You’re Walking Into
Every session touches all four elements. You don’t just drill one thing — you build the whole picture every time you show up.
Hip Hop foundation, footwork, grooves, and body isolations. The building blocks that everything else stands on. No matter how far you progress, you come back to Earth.
Freestyle, personal style, and creative expression. Air is where you stop copying and start creating. Battle etiquette, improv, and finding the moves that are uniquely yours.
Fluid styles, emotional expression, and musicality. Water is about feeling the music and letting it move through you. This is where dance becomes communication.
High energy, dynamic movements, and performance intensity. Fire is earned — the confidence and stage presence that comes from doing the work through the first three elements.
This is culture, not competition.

CLASS SCHEDULE
Find Your Class
(Found)ations runs Monday through Thursday, 7:00–8:15 PM — 75 minutes that start in The Classroom and close in The Session. Every class is drop-in friendly, and your instructor meets you where you are.
MEET YOUR INSTRUCTORS
One Class. One Instructor. Two Energies.
The same instructor carries the whole class — your teacher in The Classroom, your MC when the room becomes The Session. Hover or tap a card for the story.
Teaches (Found)ations, then MCs the Soul Cypher (Mon) and the Open Lab (Thu) to close the class.
Certified Elemental Dance Method instructor. Bass leads the Classroom — drills, grooves, The Bounce — then flips into MC mode when the room becomes The Session: the circle, call-and-response, and the courage to be seen. If it’s your first night ever, Monday is a warm place to land.
Teaches (Found)ations, then MCs Party Moves & Eras when the room becomes The Session.
Certified Elemental Dance Method instructor. Darius runs Tuesday front to back — foundations first, then a non-stop ride through 90s and 2000s party moves as the MC of Party Moves & Eras. It’s the stamina night: social dance vocabulary you’ll actually use. Bring water.
Co-founder · Architect of the Elemental Dance Method™. Teaches (Found)ations, then MCs The Routine when the room becomes The Session.
Co-founder, Creative Director, and the architect of the Elemental Dance Method™ — the curriculum every class in the building runs on. Her Wednesday is The Routine, the one choreo night: precision, linked into flow. Her rule for every room: “Express, not impress.”
You Don’t Graduate. You Go Deeper.
The Method has no finish line to stop at. The cypher becomes your room — where most adults stay for the long haul, growing for years without ever needing a stage. Want one anyway? Phase 3 is a fork, not a finish: step to a dance battle or audition for a team. Both earned. Neither required.
And (You)nity Nights — our free monthly community night — stays open to everyone, every level, always.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before You Show Up
None at all. (Found)ations is built specifically for adults who’ve never set foot in a dance studio. The Elemental Dance Method starts with The Bounce — hip-hop’s home base. As long as you’re bouncing, you’re succeeding. The Elemental framework gives structure to what could otherwise feel overwhelming.
They’re the two halves of every class. The first ~50 minutes are The Classroom — beginner-focused instruction: drills, breakdowns, repetition, the Culture Plug. The instructor is your teacher. Then the lights dim, the mirrors come off, and the last ~25 minutes become The Session — a supportive circle where dancers take turns and everyone hypes the dancer in the middle. The instructor becomes the MC. One class, one price, both rooms.
Baggy, loose, comfortable clothes — room to bounce, room to breathe. Comfortable shoes you can move in. Bring water; it’s 75 minutes of active movement. Avoid skirts, jeans, or anything that restricts movement.
Yes — your first (Found)ations class is free. No credit card, no commitment. Claim your free trial here and come see what the Method feels like from the inside.
(Found)ations runs Monday through Thursday, 7:00–8:15 PM. Miss Monday? Catch it Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. The Method Membership gives you access to every class, every night.
Drop-in is $20 for a single 75-minute class. The Method Membership is $69/month for unlimited classes every night, plus discounts on workshops and masterclasses. If you plan to come more than 4 times a month, the membership pays for itself.
