Adult Classes

Adult classes at Urbanity are built for real life — flexible drop-in options for experienced dancers and structured seasonal sessions for those just getting started. Ages 17+.

 
 

Drop In Classes

Drop-in classes are designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional level dancers, and are offered in a variety of styles. Classes are taught by top faculty, including Urbanity Professional Company dancers and guest artists.

Seasonal Sessions

Seasonal sessions provide the opportunity to work on foundations and build new skills week to week. Sessions span from 8–12 weeks, and are offered at beginner through intermediate levels in hip hop, contemporary, ballet, musical theater, and more — weaving foundational technique together with performance quality choreography. Sessions also include the opportunity to perform in our Adult Session Showcases.

 

Adult Intensives

Intensives pack months of artistic growth into a single transformative week. Designed for adult movers looking to push past drop-in routine, these short-term programs offer rigorous technical refinement, deep stylistic immersion, and dedicated time to hone your unique artistic voice alongside a supportive community.

Not sure what level to sign up for?

We recommend starting one level lower than you think. It's always more rewarding to master a 'Basic' class than to feel overwhelmed in an 'Advanced' one.

Beginner/Foundations: Designed for those with 0–2 years of experience. Exercises are broken down slowly, and the focus is on "how" to move safely and correctly. The focus is on fundamentals, terminology, and basic coordination, and you can expect a lot of repetition and a supportive environment where "getting it wrong" is part of the process.

Beginner/Intermediate: For those who have the basics down (approx. 2+ years) and are ready to increase the pace. We begin to introduce more complex weight shifts, faster tempos, and multi-step combinations. The focus in Beginner/Intermediate classes is on transitioning from single steps to sequences, and you can expect less time spent on basic definitions, and more time spent on “stringing it all together”.

Intermediate: Typically for dancers with 4–6+ years of consistent training. At this level, the "steps" are a given; the focus shifts to how you do them. We explore dynamics (sharp vs. soft) and more intricate rhythm. The focus in Intermediate classes is texture, musicality, and technical precision, and you can expect longer combinations, faster pick-up expectations, and more challenging choreography.

Intermediate/Advanced: For serious students or former pre-professionals. You should have a strong command of your body and the ability to self-correct. Combinations are often long and require both physical power and mental agility. The focus of Intermediate/Advanced classes is on artistry, stamina, and complex execution, and you can expect high-level technical demands and a focus on performance quality.

Advanced: For professional dancers, teachers, or those with 10+ years of high-level training. The class moves at a rapid-fire pace. Instruction focuses on the tiny details that bring movement to the next level. The focus of Advanced classes is mastery and nuance, and you can expect minimal breakdown of steps.

Open: These classes are designed to accommodate a wide spectrum of experience, from the curious beginner to the seasoned professional. The instructor will often provide a "baseline" movement and then offer layers, offering dancers the ability to self-select at their own level.
