A soft place to land,
a brave place to grow.

Where We Land is a dance-based company rooted in care, curiosity, and community. We offer inclusive, value-driven movement experiences designed to honour your body, expand your practice, and connect you to others. Whether you’re deepening your technique, returning to the floor, or exploring you’re voice through movement for the first time, you’re welcome here. We hold space for growth, not perfection — and we land together, every step of the way.

We’re dancers, movers, teachers, and space-holders committed to creating inclusive, affirming, and anti-oppressive spaces to move and grow. Our approach blends technical training with deep care, centering every body and every story in the room.

  • The ultimate guide to heels technique for beginners and seasoned dancers alike! Shayla really puts their encyclopedic technical knowledge to use in this thoughtfully designed program. I learned so much about my body and how to safely build strength and stability in my heels!

  • This course was amazing!! One of my main dance goals recently is working to feel more balanced in my heels, and everything we learned is exactly what I needed! Shayla is really fabulous at explaining the focus of each exercise and what part of the body is working. The exercises are all things I am excited to work into my day to day movement routines. Highly recommend for anyone looking to be more body aware and condition for heels dance safely!
