About your instructor Mimi: She is not just a teacher—she’s a mentor who brings her passion and creativity to every class. Known for her ability to connect deeply with her students, she fosters an inclusive environment where everyone feels empowered to shine. Her choreography blends elegance with boldness, ensuring you leave the workshop feeling inspired and ready to strut confidently both on and off the dance floor.
🔶 FAQ'S:
- What kind of heels should I wear? We suggest heels with strong ankle support. *If it is your first time in heels it is suggested to wear a shorter & thicker based heel to start and work your way to a skinner heel.
- What should I wear? You want an outfit that is comfortable, flattering, and easy to move in; pants, cute little shorts, or leggings are great. If your knees are exposed, consider wearing knee pads so that you can slide around on the floor comfortably. Just make sure that your outfit allows you to move freely and doesn’t restrict your movement in any way.
So come celebrate self-love, empowerment, and movement with us! Whether you’re treating yourself or coming with friends, this is your chance to shine, strut, and own the dance floor!
