Programs

Our programs use street dance and commercial dance techniques as a means to provide you with the skills and mindset to help you accomplish your personal dance goals, all while keeping the female voice in mind. Our school-of-thought focuses on an in-depth understanding and application of the SOG pillars: Music, Movement, Style, Empowerment.

More about what we do...

We pride ourselves in offering progressive curriculum that we tailor to our student’s needs to ensure a quality training experience. We also believe in establishing strong foundations, both technically and mentally, therefore all dancers are required to begin in our entry level program Tier 1. Tier 1 can act as a stand-alone program to further expand your dance training or step one in our three tiered system.

Graduates of Tier 1 are also eligible to apply for “Extra Credit” courses – stand-alone programs that develop specific skill sets or offer continued learning within the School of Groove space.

Programs classified as “workshop series” are open to all.

A note about COVID 19: While we face the unique challenges of Covid, we will be suspending our graduated program in order to prioritize safety and offer greater flexibility to our community. All Fall 2020 programs are open to new and returning students with registration on a first come, first serve basis. Each program will have a strict maximum in order to ensure physical distancing. If there are enough registrations, a second room will open and students will be placed in cohorts based on the last tier they graduated from. More information on our in-studio safety protocols can be located here.
