Just how many different ways are there to move your hips, core, and butt? In this class, led by Meri, we’ll dive into various hip techniques and movement rhythms used in styles like twerking and dancehall. Through a variety of exercises, you’ll discover new strength in controlling your hips and get to feel the movement in your body.

Meri is a dance teacher from Turku whose classes are filled with laughter and humor while training at full speed. Meri believes that working out and having fun do not exclude one another, on the contrary, the more fun dance classes are, the more likely we are to keep coming back to our hobby time and time again. When dancing, Meri is primarily interested in and inspired by the use of different energies and delving deeper into the qualities of movement. As an instructor she is a relaxed, but encourages dancers to always do their best in the moment – listening to their own bodies. Meri often receives praise from her students for her encouraging, positive energy and her clear and calm teaching style, which makes it easy even for beginners to keep up with the class. A motto often heard in Merin’s classes is that the moves or choreography don’t matter—it’s all about attitude. Everyone is welcome to Meri’s dance classes just as they are. No matter the style, the focus is on discovering and nurturing your own unique way of moving.
“Come to class exactly as you are today, and move in the way that feels right for you today!”
Meri teaches twerk and reggaeton at Flama, and occasionally also commercial dance classes. You may also spot her at the front desk or replying to your emails, as in addition to teaching, Meri works in the studio’s office.
