Heels Foundations

About this class

Heels Foundations Build the foundation. Master the technique. Dance with confidence. Heels Foundations is a technique-focused class for dancers who want to strengthen the skills behind their heels dancing. Whether you’re brand new to heels or looking to refine your technique, this class develops the strength, alignment, balance, control, and precision needed to move safely and confidently. Train with Ana, a dance educator with more than 30 years of experience and a foundation in classical dance. In 2012, while working at Millennium Dance Complex in Los Angeles, Ana was introduced to heels dancing and has since trained with leading professionals while studying the style as it has continued to evolve. Many dancers discover heels through choreography without first receiving foundational technical training. This class helps bridge that gap through proper alignment, weight placement, walks, turns, transitions, lines, ankle and foot strength, conditioning, and body control. You’ll receive technical guidance and corrections that help you understand not only what to do, but how and why your body should execute each movement. Passion and natural talent are powerful, but technique cannot be bypassed. Proper training protects the body, improves precision, and gives dancers the foundation for confidence, freedom, and longevity. Build the technique that allows everything else to grow.
