How we're different
More Than GenresÂ
You'll find favorites like contemporary and hip hop on the schedule, but you'll also find find classes like Textures, Musicality, and Performance Repertoire, designed to challenge the curious dancer.Â
Community First
We do things outside of the studio, such as field trips and community dinners, giving space for dancers to get to know each other outside of the class environment.
Space to Create
Every member gets free studio space to themselves. Develop your ideas, collaborate with other members, film that project-- our home is your home.
The Whole Dancer
Physicality is just one piece of dance. We focus on all five pillars of dance: technique, artistry, mobility, strength, and community. Our signature class, Common Ground Method, is based on these principles.

Iâve been teaching dance for nearly twenty years, but Iâve never believed in doing things just because "thatâs the way theyâve always been done."
For 11 years, I ran a dance studio for adults in Southern California and built an incredible communityâbut I always felt like something was missing. Traditional classes only scratched the surface. Dancers were getting a piecemeal education, jumping from one class to the next without ever having the space to go deeper. I wanted more.
Dance isnât just movement to meâitâs transformation. After growing up in foster care and experiencing homelessness, dance was the first place where I felt a sense of belonging, healing, and purpose. It was more than training; it was a way to reconnect with myself and the world around me.
Thatâs why I created Common Groundâa space where dancers arenât just students cycling through drop-in classes but artists, collaborators, and community members. As a facilitator, choreographer, and creative director, my goal is to guide dancers into new ways of training, thinking, and creatingâtogether.
