Every good dancer started by building a foundation

Every dance you've ever seen or learned is built on foundational moves and skills. Dancers who take the time to learn these techniques progress quickly and with confidence. They can execute the next move as soon as it's demonstrated, and everything just feels right.

These days, many dance classes expect dancers to already have this foundational knowledge. Those who don't find themselves working twice as hard to keep up.

If you build your foundation first, everything else is so much easier, and also way more fun. Cypher's 4-week Dance Fundamentals series is designed to teach you those skills.

You don't need experience to start

New to our styles?

Then you're in the right place. This is designed to be an entry point to Hip Hop and/or Heels dance. No dance experience required.

Already an experienced dancer?

If you sharpen your fundamental skills, you'll watch your dancing evolve to the next level.

A performance artist?

Theatre, drag, burlesque, pole and more. The foundational skills you'll learn will transfer beautifully, set you apart, and give you new inspiration to draw from.

A progressive 4‑week program
One night per week
Hip Hop, Heels, or both

This series happens every Monday night, once a week for four weeks. Sign up for the Hip Hop track, the Heels track, or both! Each week builds on the last, so plan to be there for all four.

(If you can't make all four but still want to join, send us a DM! We'll make it work for you.)

Hip Hop Fundamentals

This series starts with grooves, isolations, and other foundational movements. You'll learn the vocabulary and history behind Hip Hop, and get comfortable with attending class and picking up combos.

By week 4 you'll be applying your skills to choreography, ready for Cypher's Hip Hop classes, or just a night out with friends.

Heels Fundamentals

Heels Fundamentals starts with posture, weight transfer, walking, strutting and posing, basic footwork, and feeling comfortable in the heel. You'll gradually build into foundational movements, floor work basics, and approachable choreography.

By the end, you'll feel stronger, more confident, maybe a lil sexier, and ready to take Cypher's Heels classes.

A room full of people just like you

Cypher prides itself on being a welcoming, community-first environment. You'll be growing alongside cool people with the same goals and passions.

Not only will you learn the skills you need in a gradual, personalized, and approachable way, you'll also become part of a community of people who just wanna dance. By the end of the series you'll know the regular names and faces at Cypher, so showing up to class won't be intimidating anymore. It'll feel like a weekly hangout.
