High Heels
This open-level heels class blends ballet-inspired leg work and stability, jazz musicality, burlesque sensuality, and lyrical expression. Throughout the class, participants will work on posture placement, core strengthening, leg lengthening, coordination drills, walking techniques, floorwork, and stability exercises, all designed to help you understand your body in heels with clarity and confidence. We finish with a fluid, dynamic choreography where technique meets emotion. This class invites you to move with intention, explore the textures of sensuality, and express your individuality. Heels becomes an artistic space: grounded, sensual, and beautifully alive.

- "For me, ballet has always held a spiritual dimension: shaping the body into something sacred. Anything sacred requires discipline, focus, and a process of purification. This is why my approach to sensuality is grounded in the esoteric frameworks of spirituality. While exploring the sensual and expressive side of ballet, I discovered high heels, which naturally became a new medium to extend and embody my artistic exploration of the erotic."* - Diana Mora
