Don’t stress! Everyone learns at their own pace, and that's completely okay! Sometimes certain moves or techniques click right away, while others take a little longer to master. Remember to be patient with yourself—learning something new takes time. The real magic is in enjoying the process and embracing each part of the journey (progress not perfection).

Share your favorite music. Share your favorite moves. Let’s lift each other up and enjoy the journey together! 🐛🦋

Absolutely! This program is designed to be flexible. If you can’t attend the live sessions, you can always catch up with the class recordings at a time that works best for you. You can learn and practice at your own pace.

Will I recieve feedback from my instructor?

Yes! While the program is self-paced, you can always reach out to instructors for feedback on your progress by submitting videos in the Discord group. We’re here to support your journey and help you refine your technique.
