THE INTENSIVE

Curriculum

Push yourself

to the next level!

THE VIENNA HEELS INTENSIVE is how it all began in September 2019. From then on every new Dance Season is kicked off with an Intensive crafted by us for YOU: a 1 - 3 day experience of pure enlightenment, massive growth, endless inspiration, community bonding and pushing your boundaries so you can finally get to the next step!

According to your level - beginner or open level - you will work on essential heels technique, dive into your truest self and learn exciting and challenging choreographies that you can choose to perform at the end of the intensive in front of your fellow attendees who will support you on your journey and cheer you up to do your very own best.

Every single season around we create magical memories you can forever treasure. Our Beginner Heels Intensive usually takes place around February/March and the Open Level Intensive in September.

Registration and information once there's a new Intensive coming up will be right here on this page.

"One thing I appreciate is that you, be it in the intensives or just in a class, always connect dance to the mind and soul and I always learn something new which enriches my mind.You empower us to be the best versions of ourselves and to be authentic no matter what. Alongside techniques/choreos/steps I learned so much about myself. You made it „klick“ for me and I started my journey of selflove."

Any Questions?

ABC FAC

I am an absolute dance beginner. Can I still take part in the Beginner Class?

Yes, of course! Our beginner class is especially designed for people who have never danced before as well for those who already have dance experience but want to learn the right heels technique in a slow pace.
What am I going to learn in a Beginner Class?

First we will warm our bodies up with a quick and intense workout. We follow with a short stretching session and focus on strengthening our ankles, legs and core. An introduction into the most essential key techniques of dancing in heels will help you to gain knowledge for your future training. In the end you will learn a fun beginner-friendly combo or choreography.
Is wearing high heels bad for my body?

You may have heard that it not only can cause painful problems in your feet and ankles, but it can harm your knees, hips and spine, as well. We agree, if you don't have any technique, any muscles and any knowledge about standing, posing, walking and especially dancing in heels, it will be anything but healthy. BUT for us, the most important thing is to 1) prevent injuries by helping you build muscles and strength in your back, core, legs and fett 2) prevent risks of pain by giving you the right technique on how to use high heels properly 3) prevent any future problems by building your knowledge on how to take care of your body inside and outside of the dance studio Dancing in general (and in high heels) will definitely bring you a lot of benefits: Benefit #1: Improvement of posture & confidence Benefit #2: Improvement of muscle strength & flexibility Benefit #3: Improvement of body awareness, physical & mental well-being
I am a professional dancer and have experience in dancing on heels. What class should I take?

Our intermediate class offers you the best opportunity to deepen your technical skills as well as learn a challenging yet fulfilling choreography.
What should I wear to class?

Most importantly: your heels (if you are not sure which are best suited simply read our Vienna Heels Guide to get some guidance). Also bring tight clothes (like leggings, a crop top, shorts, etc.) so you can see your lines and body shape. Other essential things to bring would be: socks, a water bottle, a towel, a hair tie and knee pads.
I am male, gender neutral, non binary, agender, pangender, genderqueer, two-spirit, etc. - can I join your classes?"

Yes, of course! We aim to unite all dancers and people who are interested into dance regardless of their origin, gender, appearance, sexual orientation or dance experience. The only requirement to participate in the class is to wear high heels.
Is there any age restriction?

We recommend heels classes starting from the age 16.
I just speak English. What language is used for teaching?
