Programs & Classes
Long Commitment Programs
Sovereign Apprentice Crew
Sovereign Apprentice is a long-form, non-performing, skill-based training crew rooted in community care, consistency, and intentional learning.
The program supports dancers in building strong foundations through structured exploration of grooving, musicality, textures and dynamics, choreography, and creative movement. Emphasis is placed on process over performance—creating space for dancers to train deeply, build confidence, and grow alongside a committed cohort. While the training is taught at an intermediate level, readiness is determined by commitment and care rather than labels or self-identified level.
Shorter Progressives & Intensives
Creative Lab
Creative Lab is a choreography-focused training space centered on creation, retention, and exploration.
The program supports dancers in learning and retaining new choreography each week, developing original movement through guided take-home assignments, and expanding performance and collaboration skills through creative exploration. Designed to challenge both the mind and body, Creative Lab helps dancers build stronger creative and execution vocabulary with intention and confidence.
Back to Basics: Bootcamp
Back to Basics: Bootcamp is a technique-driven heels progressive rooted in the Back to Basics method, with an emphasis on strength, conditioning, and foundational mechanics. Training explores weight transfers, turning and momentum, three-dimensional movement, and stability and balance through intentionally progressive drills, with each week building on the last. Suitable for all levels, the program supports dancers in developing clarity, control, and confidence in upright heels movement.
Back to Basics: Floorwork
Back to Basics: Floorwork is a technique-driven heels progressive rooted in the Back to Basics method, focused on floor mechanics, transitions, and movement safety. The program combines floor-specific conditioning and strength work with detailed attention to weight distribution, pathways to and from the floor, and controlled floor-based movement. Suitable for all levels, this program supports dancers in building strength, confidence, and efficiency in floor-based heels technique.
Standalone Classes & Short Form Training

Back to Basics: Focused Fundamentals
Focused Fundamentals are standalone heels technique classes that follow the Back to Basics method, designed to support targeted, intentional skill-building without a long-term commitment. While dance is always integrated and full-bodied, each class places focused attention on specific body parts or functional patterns to reveal compensations, imbalances, and areas of support. By isolating elements one at a time, dancers can strengthen weak links and refine awareness—building a more balanced, efficient foundation that carries back into fully integrated movement. These classes can be taken individually, or followed in chronological order to create a natural, functional progression.
