Heels Progressives
Why Progressives?
Real transformation doesn’t come from a single class. Our progressive programs are designed to layer skills week by week, so you can build strength, stability, and body awareness that truly lasts.
Perfect for dancers who want to commit to growth, stay accountable, and move with long-term confidence.
Click below to see how our progressives are (mostly) built from the Back to Basics theory, which explores how we approach heels technique so you are set up for success at all levels, for the long run.

Back to Basics Bootcamp: a 6 week heels tech progressive
This progressive is designed to build your strength, conditioning, and body awareness without the addition of choreography. Think of it as your heels fitness toolkit — giving you exercises and techniques you can take into your own workouts, your warm-ups, and your everyday life to better prepare your body to dance safely and powerfully in heels.
This series introduces you to the six Back to Basics pillars at an open level, with plenty of options to meet you where you’re at. Variations are offered for nearly every exercise, so you can keep challenging yourself whether you’re brand new, or a seasoned dancer refining your skills through a new lens.
We don’t even put on our heels until week 3 — focusing instead on deep body awareness and building a solid conditioning base first. From there, we layer in our heels week by week, each class building on the last. By the final week, you’ll be tackling compound exercises that stack all the skills we’ve developed, giving you a true progression that you can keep growing long after the program ends.
This bootcamp is absolute beginner friendly (even if you’ve never stepped foot in heels) and still challenging and fulfilling for advanced dancers who want to strengthen their foundation and learn a new approach.
Whether you’re brand new to heels, adding it alongside other training, or simply looking to build strength and awareness through a fresh perspective — this program sets you up with tools you’ll use for life.
