with Aries
Join us for a liberating Twerk Dance Lab with Aries at the Impulse studio on Saturday, September 20th, 2:45pm-4:15pm! Aries’ class is all about booty shaking, and trust us, it’s a full-on leg day disguised as a party. This workshop is for all levels and is a great way to learn the history, technique, and artistry of Twerk in a fun and welcoming environment. Come move, sweat, and celebrate your body in a safe and celebratory space.
Aries will start with an overview of the history, culture, and influence of Twerk: its origins, evolution, and impact on music and dance today. From there, we’ll dive into Twerk foundations and technique, focusing on body alignment and muscle engagement to ensure safe and effective movement. We’ll learn a variety of Twerk moves and combinations, from the basics of popping, shaking, and bouncing to dynamic, crowd-pleasing moves. Whether you’re a Twerk veteran or someone who wants to learn how to make that booty move, there’s something here for you. We’ll finish by putting everything together in a high-energy Twerk dance routine that you can take with you to the dance floor!
Tennis shoes, shorts/loose pants, and kneepads are highly encouraged.
