Heels beginners September

Zero experience, including zero experience in heels.

It's for you if

you want to start but don't know where
you feel stiff or too aware of how you look
you want technique and control, not just choreography
you want a fixed group, not a room to get lost in

It's not for you if

you're after a single drop-in class
you already have solid experience in this style

What this is

Walking in heels and dancing in heels are two completely different things. The moment you step up into them your centre of gravity moves, your posture becomes visible, balance can no longer be left to chance. The interesting part of Heels isn't the heel, it's what happens to your movement once you have control over it.

Level 1 is six sessions building the foundation: posture, balance, walking, weight transfer, control of the torso and pelvis, arms, lines, transitions. Level 2 is a weekend intensive, two three-hour sessions, where we tie it all together and add combinations, musicality, dynamics and styling.

What you leave with

With more stability in heels, but also with a much clearer understanding of your own body: where your weight sits, how you hold your posture, why one movement looks fluid and another rushed.

And something good happens once you have control: you stop trying to fill every second. You can go slower. You can do less. Because when the body is sure of itself, it doesn't need to prove as much.

How it works

The program has two parts. Level 1 is six Monday sessions, 21:00-22:30, and Level 2 is a weekend of three hours a day, on the first free weekend after the last session. Fifteen hours of training in total: nine in Level 1 and six in Level 2.

Classes build progressively, each meeting continues the material of the one before. We film along the way: in Heels, video helps you see the posture and lines you can't observe while dancing. If you'd rather not appear, tell us from the start.

„This impressed me at the classes too. Watching you online before, I had the feeling you'd only talk to the top people, or that we had to be pros the moment we walked in. And in class I felt the opposite: you spoke as if you'd only just learned to dance yourself, and you understand exactly what we go through, that we can dance however, make mistakes, and it's ok. Thank you for that."

„You are amazing. I've only known you since August and only started coming in September. But I can say I've been to other dance classes, and what happens at Dance Prestige isn't just about dancing, it's something infinitely more special. It's community, it's therapy, it's frustration (the good, satisfying kind that grows you), it's genuinely out of this world. You rock & I am grateful for you."

„I liked that a step was added gradually and then we ran through all of them, and that we kept working to refine them. It felt like a safe space. It also helped that we didn't film much in these sessions. Even the three-teacher format was a plus (++us): hearing almost the same techniques explained slightly differently sometimes makes it click. And a big plus for the step videos left in the group: they help when you want to do a recap with a clip of the steps executed and counted correctly."

„Simona, you actually brought me to tears listening to you. I admire you enormously and your words landed perfectly for me. I'm learning to have patience and to trust that this is the only way I'll leave a legacy behind. Also, you really made DP this unique place, with an awesome vibe! Thanks to DP I'm starting to move out of my head and into my body, and it's doing me the most good in years. Be 100% sure you're doing an extraordinary job and that you have people who are deeply grateful to you."
