How we're different
What We TeachÂ
Instead of a buffet of standard classes, we curate a smaller schedule of higher quality classes.
You'll find favorites like contemporary and hip hop on the schedule, but you'll also find find classes like Common Ground Method and Contemporary Floor Work, designed to challenge the curious dancer.Â
How We Teach
Each class is approached thoughtfully and intentionally.
We've been to too many classes that felt thrown together. We weave musicality, textures, artistic development, science-based stretching, and so much more into every single class.
Why We We Teach
We think dancers deserve more than a cookie cutter technique class.
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.
