CLASS descriptions.

class structures.

A workshop is a longer class usually focused on the thorough coverage of a specific topic. Workshops are a great way to introduce yourself to a new style, or dive a little deeper into practice without committing fully to a series. We offer a few consistent workshops here at ZTHEORY & often have pop-ups as well. Keep an eye on our calendar & socials for the latest!

This workshop will focus on the philosophy behind the ZTHEORY technique. It is ideal for beginners as an introduction to Heels Dance, as well as for intermediate/advanced dancers looking to enhance their practice with across-the-floor drills and simple choreography.

Heels Choreography POP-UPS:

ZTHEORY often hosts themed choreography workshops with a range of our ZTHEORY instructors. These will be posted on the calendar with a brief look into focuses of the class. These workshops are often OPEN TO ALL, but the content itself will vary in level depending on the event. Teachers are prepped with modifications for students who either need the material simplified, or more of a challenge.

Suggested Level - varies

Our 4-week class series structure is a wonderful way to consistently grow in your technique, receive more personalized feedback from your instructor, & get to know our ZTHEORY community throughout the month! Commitment to all classes is encouraged, as the content builds week-by-week. This is the perfect option for dancers that want to dive deeper than just attending pop-up workshops, but aren’t ready to commit to a multi-month training program yet. We are continuously planning new series’ that introduce our dancers to a variety of Heels styles & instructors.

Past series we’ve done include: Heels Barre, Burlesque Heels, Drills & Skills, & more!

Our programs are multi-month class series designed to build upon themselves to a specific goal.

We are known for our programs above all else & are excited to continue to grow our selection to serve our community.
