about our drop-in dance classes

Our weekly HEELS DROP-INS are focused on developing and enhancing stamina, strength, dance technique, performance skills, and choreography pickup in the Luminesque™ Heels dance style. Everyone, regardless of dance experience, is welcome.

If you’d like an introduction to our Progress performance program, we recommend attending a Progress Course Preview.

what to expect

Safely develop your heels dance skills in this all-in-one conditioning, choreography and confidence-building class. Get moving with a full body/mind/energy warm-up, expand your repertoire of heels dance skills, and learn a fun piece of choreography you can practice at home or share online (with permission, please credit your choreographer).

Our certified Heels teachers cultivate a supportive, inclusive environment where you feel safer to step outside your comfort zone and expand your capabilities and knowledge of heels dance style. Beyond our baseline in Heels, each instructor brings their own areas of expertise and signature style, so make sure to try a variety of teachers to expand your Heels repertoire.

what is the difficulty level?

Heels Drop-In Classes are Open Level, meaning anyone from beginners to advanced dancers can sign up and join.

Everyone is welcome to attend any drop-in class, and will benefit from the training regardless of level, but may be more or less out of their depth depending on the class and their previous experience with Heels.

how to make the most of class

ARRIVE ON TIME

Please endeavour to arrive at the studio a few minutes before your class begins. All our classes begin with a thoughtful warm up intended to set you up for a successful class, and missing warm up can put you at higher risk of injury.

If you are running a few minutes late, enter the room quietly and be sure to prepare your body and mind adequately before joining the class. If another class is in session before your drop-in, we ask that you wait outside the studio door or in the waiting room until a teacher invites you in.

WHAT TO WEAR

SHOES
Heels are not necessary to participate in our classes, but as they are Heels Tech focused, they're highly encouraged.

If at any point in class you feel the desire to stop dancing in heels, feel free to take them off! You are welcome to take class barefoot, in socks, or in clean indoor sneakers (non-marking).

If you are wearing heels, please only wear shoes with non-marking soles, and ensure stiletto heels are sealed/capped so as to not scratch the floors.

EVERYTHING ELSE
We recommend bringing socks, kneepads, a water bottle, and heels you feel comfortable dancing in (optional) to be prepared for anything in this class!

NOTE ABOUT FILMING

Please assume that Luminesque drop-in classes are no-media classes. Please refrain from filming for social media use unless your teacher explicitly invites the class to do so (and, you must receive consent to post from any other dancers appearing in your video prior to posting).

Teachers may allow filming of class for dancers personal reflection, but again, please ask your teacher for their consent.

Luminesque holds these boundaries to create safer spaces of learning, and to keep students focused on their technical progression in class.

For more information on our Commitments to Inclusivity, our Code of Conduct, and all of our other policies, please refer to the Policies page on our website.

CANCELLING BOOKINGS

We keep class sizes limited to maintain a productive learning environment with space for personal feedback. If you aren’t able to attend your class, please cancel as soon as you know, to make room for other students to attend.
