Discovering The Flow
The “flow” is the magic of dancing: maintaining fluid, continuous movement that captures the rhythm and aesthetics of your favourite style.
It’s about preserving energy and intention, with every move setting up the next, seamlessly connecting partners through stretch, direction, and momentum.
Every dance style begins with music and the creative inspiration of dancers bending the rules. Why not create your own story?
What Makes Us Different
Learning steps and figures is a common way to start dancing — but focusing too much on the “math” can make you lose the flow.
In our classes, we flip the script. We teach you to move confidently by embracing the natural flow of your body first. Then, we introduce the “rules of the dance” as creative variations, letting your movements feel both free and intentional.
Our method accelerates learning and adapts to your unique experience. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced dancer, our drop-in classes are tailored for you.

Growing your technique
Dancing is a conversation, a sequence of playful exchanges that begins with an opening and concludes with a stretch or compression.
Our method sharpens your skills by helping you master these key elements while staying in rhythm and building a strong core connection with your partner.
As you grow, you’ll become familiar with concepts like:
- Frame, grounding and body isolation
- Counter-tension and projection
- Presence and momentum
- Intention and commitment
- Posture and the 3 frames
- Balance and elasticity
- Contact points and triggers
- Dissociation and the Double-T
- The geography of movement: the 3 tracks and the North Star
- Musical elements: bars, sets, phrases, verses, chorus, and instruments

Our inspirations
Our method draws from the goal-oriented teaching of international swing instructor Ali Taghavi and the Shu-Ha-Ri-Kokoro philosophy popularized by Alistair Cockburn.
Over the years, we’ve also been inspired by incredible teachers across various styles, including Ron & Sharon, Mimmi & Fredrik, Lisa & Fabien (swing and blues); Maxence & Virginie, Jang, Browly (west coast swing); Jenny & Ricardo, Juan Cantone (tango); and Adam Nathanson (modern jive). Their influence continues to shape our teaching and dancing.
Let us help you find your flow and elevate your dancing to the next level!
