Dance Church

Dance Church is a dance and fitness program where teachers lead classes from the center of the space and the class changes which way it is facing often. Music in class is loud with an upbeat, energetic tempo, and participants move through various actions and coordinations instead of learning set choreography. At different points in class, participants may move around the space, go down to the floor, and briefly hold hands, and they are always allowed to modify movements to go bigger, smaller, faster, or slower as needed.

• Schedule: Late entry is not permitted, and participants are advised to arrive 5–15 minutes before class starts.
• Price: Dance Church offers on-demand classes, gift cards, and a membership.

Teachers lead classes without talking, but singing along is encouraged. Dance Church offers in-person classes in multiple cities across the United States and also has a blog, a merch collection, and written “Dance Floor Tips” for participants. Recommended items for class include clothing that is comfortable for moving and sweating, a water bottle, and optional items such as a face mask and earplugs, and participants are advised to take class barefoot or in socks, with clean studio sneakers allowed if there is a personal need. The leadership team includes individuals such as Adrian Hoffman, Ale Preciado, Alethea Alexander, and many others including Kate Wallich and Mark Morris Dance Center–based leaders like Karl Watson and Lavinia Vago.
