this beginner course is aimed at anyone who is new to contemporary dance, or dance in general, and who would like to start their dance journey through technical training and mastering simple choreography.

as an educator, i value the importance of personalized feedback in recognizing that everyone comes from different backgrounds and have different capabilities. hence, i keep my class sizes small and intimate to ensure i can tend to everyone in class, answer all your questions, and that you can all comfortably share the studio space.

i bring a supportive and uplifting spirit to class and aim to create a space where everyone feels safe to grow and progress at their own pace :-) if you have any questions about the course or want to discuss if this course is suitable for you, please feel free to reach out to me on instagram @idklh or via my email mandy-tjh@hotmail.com!

Testimonials from our course graduates ₊✩˚‧₊

If you're considering (to join the beginners course), definitely give it a go!

You can always start with an open class to get a feel before committing to a longer period. I never saw myself as someone who dances and have no background in it, but Mandy made it such an open, safe and enjoyable space to get into it! The course was structured in a way that allows us to build our basic skills and confidence as we go!

I wanted to feel more connected with my body and boogie to the music…. It was such a good start (to my goals) and has made me excited to carry on!

Mandy created such a safe and intimate space in the course that no one would feel judged. It feels great to learn and grow with other people who are willing to try as I do in such a warm and encouraging environment.

It definitely consolidated my foundation for contemporary dance, which allowed my body to flow with choreography in a more natural and intuitive way. Getting more advanced step by step just helped so much with my confidence building in dancing.

The class is something I look forward the most every week.
