Cutting Shapes Prep March Wednesday

The Cutting Shapes Prep Intensive is a focused, 4-week training experience designed to prepare you—physically and mentally—for the pace, demands, and learning style of a Cutting Shapes retreat. This is not about teaching the retreat early or introducing advanced Cutting Shapes material. It’s about building the capacity to handle it. In this intensive, we’ll use familiar shuffle material as a training tool to develop: Higher-tempo comfort (90 BPM and up) Speed without sacrificing mechanics or form Ankle and calf strength for sustained bouncing and hopping Balance and control while moving fast Stamina to keep dancing when things get challenging The ability to learn and apply material quickly in a live setting Classes move at an intentional, advanced pace, with an emphasis on repetition, experimentation, and staying engaged even when things feel messy. Expect less explanation, more doing, and a strong focus on keeping the group moving forward together. If you’re eyeing a Cutting Shapes retreat—or simply want to feel lighter, faster, and more confident at higher tempos—this prep intensive is designed to set you up for success. A make-up session is included for anyone who needs to miss a week. Each class is 60 minutes.
