RECAP | Spotlight: Heels (Beginner) with Natalie Sklovskaya

On behalf of Rae Studios we want to give a huge thank you to everyone that attended our Heels spotlight with Natalie! This was Natalie's third and (for now) final round of Heels spotlight classes, so we're grateful to have her show up and show out with us one last time. During this spotlight, students were able to learn Heels technique, drill it to perfection, and have plenty of fun to Usher's 'Bad Girls' along the way. Check out some of the photos and video from Saturday's here.

Class Description:

Format of the class will begin with a warm up of stretches and a strong focus on drills and basics. We'll apply our technique to the choreography for the second half of the class and end with filming. This will be a beginner heels class to break down the basics of technique and tricks to ooze that sex appeal through movement! We will work on refining the skill sets needed for a good foundation that you can carry on and off the dance floor! I hope students will leave this class more confident in themselves, both as dancers and as people. I hope they can take a trick or two with them as they continue their dance journey.
