Dance and Wellness by Sophie

What if the way you connect to the floor could transform the way you connect to your partner?

In this all-levels workshop, we’ll explore the meeting point between Yoga and West Coast Swing, using the floor as our first partner.

Through simple yoga-inspired movement and partner exercises, we’ll investigate how grounding, breath, weight, pressure, and responsiveness create connection. We’ll notice how the floor supports us, how we push into it and receive energy back—and then bring those same principles into our dancing.

No complicated patterns are needed. The focus is on sensation, curiosity, and communication, making this workshop accessible and useful for dancers of every level.

We have limited amount of Yoga mats, plan on bringing your own or DM me if you need one

$50 per person, 🔗 in the bio

Only 14 spots available to keep the experience intimate and allow for individual attention.

Practice is an essential part of becoming a better dancer. Simply coming to class isn’t enough. The real work begins when class ends.

Classes are here to receive information. Practice is the time to implement it.

Movement starts to make sense when you actually do it, when you explore, experiment, and pay attention to what your body is doing.

At Big Apple Ballroom, we have a practice session every week for exactly this reason. It is included with the group class and as teachers, we make ourselves available to answer your questions, offer our guidance, and support you through the process of improving your movement.

Every Saturday features a different instructor, giving you the opportunity to experience West Coast Swing through a new perspective. Hearing the same concepts in different ways often leads to new breakthroughs and a deeper understanding of your dance.
