Would you like to have some change in your usual twerk classes? In this course, we will spice up twerk with chair elements and throw ourselves into a feminine choreography!
In class, we’ll twerk using a chair as a prop and aid. We’ll explore how to add spice to the movement with the chair and how twerk techniques feel in our bodies as the chair shifts our center of gravity and changes our posture. We’ll create one choreography during the course.
Kurssi sopii tanssijoille, joilla on twerkin perusteet hallussa, esimerkiksi twerkin alkeiskurssi käytynä.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and feel good.
The pants should be made of loose material, because it is more difficult to perform twerk techniques in very tight leggings. You can dance in indoor sneakers, dance shoes, or socks. The course also includes floor work, so it is a good idea to bring knee pads or leg warmers to protect your knees. Knee pads are also available for purchase in our online store and studios. Be sure to bring a water bottle with you.
In these classes, we are using chairs as a pro and aid. During the course, we are working on a choreography that explores the combination of twerk technique and chair elements as well as feminine way of moving. We will learn how to spice up the movement with the chair and how twerking techniques feel in our bodies through the changes in positions and center of gravity change brought by the chair.
We do not do acrobatic movements with the chair in this course, and there are several variations available, if you do not feel comfortable climbing onto the chair, for example.
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.
