Bring the world of House dance into your classes with this practical and accessible mini course. You’ll explore the roots of House, discover how to connect movement to the music, and learn a clear pathway from basic groove to freestyle.
The course starts with the culture and music of House, showing you how to help students tune in to the rhythm — listening for the kick, hi-hat, and clap. You’ll then develop “the jack,” the core groove that underpins all House movement. From there, you’ll break down essential steps including the Heel Toe, Shuffle, Pas de Bourrée, Stomp, and Farmer. Each move is explained step by step with simple variations so you can adapt them for different levels.
You’ll also pick up a few bonus steps such as the Corkscrew Spin and The Russian to keep things fresh and exciting. Finally, you’ll learn how to link steps together into smooth combinations, making it easy to guide your students towards confident, authentic freestyle.
By the end of the course, you’ll have everything you need to:
- Share the history and culture of House dance in class
- Teach students how to move with the music and feel the groove
- Break down and adapt key House steps
- Add creative variations and bonus moves
- Build combinations that lead naturally into freestyle
