We're a Community - Not a Clique

Have you ever dreamed of being able to perform on stage, find the confidence to take a heels class or step outside of your comfort zone?!

At Strut Niagara, our goal is to partner with you to ignite transformation through the power of heels dance. Our community in the heart of the Niagara Region isn't just about movement; it's about unleashing empowerment, confidence, and self-discovery.

With each step (literally and figuratively), we invite you to embrace your inner baddie, to stand taller, and strut with purpose. Our classes, spanning from beginner to advanced levels, serve as a safe space for self-expression and growth.

We know that taking a heels class for the first time or even the thousandth time can sometimes be vulnerable and intimidating. We want you to know that we are an inclusive space that celebrates EVERY PERSON! All genders/non-genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations and backgrounds are welcome. In addition, if you are too afraid to come to class alone, please contact us as we would be happy to set you up with a peer dancer to attend a class with!

What We Offer

At Strut we offer both progressive programs that end in a performance as well as weekly drop-in classes. However, at the core of who we are at Strut Niagara is a performance group. There is nothing better than working 10 weeks towards a goal and then sharing what you have learned on stage with new friends! While the performance can seem intimidating at first, we promise we are with you every step of the way and will make sure you feel confident and ready come show day! Every one is nervous to start, but once you experience the rush of performance, you'll fall in love!

Show Sessions

If you are registering for one of our show sessions, you will receive:

• A 2 hour class once a week
• Class for 10 weeks
• An optional in studio dress rehearsal (time and space permitting)
• Show performance

In the first hour of class each week you will:

• Introduce your name and pronouns
• Start with a cardio and strength warm up in the centre of the room
• Put on your heels and work on Strut Walks and foundations moving down the room
• Learn a short combo to showcase some of the foundations you worked on in class

NOTE: The first hour of our show session classes also double as a drop-in! That means, you can invite your friends and fellow dancers to come drop-in to take class with you during the first hour of your class. These are priced individually and you can access these through the Drop In tab on our website

In the second hour of class each week you will:

• Learn and work on choreography for your routines for the upcoming show
• All classes (with the exception of Advanced) learn two routines for our final session showcase
• Each week, your choreography from this hour will be recorded and posted in a private Facebook Group for the session so you can more easily practice at home

 

 

Drop-In Classes

Our heels drop-in classes mean you can attend a class whenever you want! These are priced at $15 per class (unless otherwise posted) and you can access these classes through our Drop-In tab.
