## The Elemental Dance Method

- [The Method](https://www.danzversity.com/the-method): Proprietary curriculum — Movement Literacy over choreography
- Four Elements integrated into every class (class DNA, not progressive phases):
  - Earth: Foundation, culture, groove — anchored by The Bounce
  - Air: Freestyle and personal style
  - Water: Emotion, fluidity, musicality
  - Fire: Choreography, power, performance energy
- The night's theme dictates which Element leads each class
- The three adult phases: The Classroom (build the language) → The Session (apply it — closes every class) → Path Splits (Cypher Track via (You)nity Nights OR Team Track via audition)
- Culture-first approach: history, musicality, and community before choreography
- No experience required to start — The Bounce is home base
