Do you want to feel more confident dancing in heels? In this course, you will learn the basics of heel dancing technique and dance simple choreographies in heels. After the course, you will walk and dance more confidently on heels and be able to identify the basic elements of the heels technique.
You do not need any previous experience in heel dancing to participate in this course. However, it would be beneficial to have some dance experience in other styles, as heels add an extra challenge to the training. If you have no previous dance experience, we recommend starting with a beginner’s course in another dance style.

For heels classes, we recommend high heels with ankle support. The best option for heels technique is a thin stiletto heel, but you can also dance in thicker heels. The sole of the shoe should be thin but firm, so a platform sole is not the best choice. However, do not stress about the shoes! However, please make sure that the soles of your dance shoes are clean and the heel caps are intact so that the floor of the hall is not damaged. Bring a water bottle with you as well.
The beginner’s course in heels introduces the basic elements of heels technique, such as walking, weight transfer, and alignment, with the aim of learning to dance in heels naturally and confidently. The classes begin with a varied warm-up, followed by practicing different techniques, such as walking and floor exercises. Towards the end of the class, you will learn simple, varied choreography that allows you to feel the fluidity of the movements and practice the techniques you have learned.
