Hama Dance Center

This coming Sunday December 21st at 12-1:30pm!! Denise Leitner will be teaching a Jazz class! This will be her last class of the year. So please come dance with her💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻

No shortcuts.
No watered-down warm-up.
No performance-for-camera energy.

This is the original Luigi → Hama warm-up
kept whole.
Kept intentional.
Kept alive.

And we dance Hama’s choreography — not a remix, not “inspired by,” but as it was given.

Amy began this journey with Hama in 1993...And she is now carrying his class forward.

If your body is craving something real, you’ll feel it the moment class begins.
