MOVEMENT
FOR ARTISTS

Are you an artist looking for movement direction, dance coaching, or choreography?
Movement quality, stage presence and dance visuals are vital for an elevated and captivating performance. Whether you need help learning how to command the stage or the camera, or adding an extra level of spice to your performance with back-up dancers, we got you!

Frequently asked questions
-
We recommend a peep toe soft leather or sock style shoe, with ankle support and a stiletto between 3.5-4 inches high. Lace up shoes tend to have more ankle support but it’s not necessary if the shoe is form fitting. Avoid platforms, pointed toes, chunky heels, kitten heels and sandals. Wearing socks with your heels may give you extra comfort.
-
Anything you feel comfortable and confident in, as long as it’s flexible and breathable to dance in (jeans and other stiff materials are not recommended). Certain technique programs may request form fitting attire.
