Take the stage with MING MVMT’s inaugural performance on JUNE 20, 2026 at The Music Gallery (just north of Bathurst Station).

Each level will learn and perform 2 group pieces of choreography designed to entertain, inspire, and share our collective love of dance with an audience.

Spots are limited to ensure each participant receives dedicated support, in addition to being seen and celebrated on stage. Applications are required to ensure participants are matched with the best fit for level of experience.

TUESDAYS, JANUARY 13 - MARCH 3, 2026

BEG/INT

LYRICAL(ish)

Two women dancing in a minimalist room with wooden flooring, wearing loose pants and black tops, striking expressive poses with arms extended upward and outward.

Lyrical(ish) leans into story-focused choreography to pop songs across genres and decades to focus on self-expression and feel-good movement.

These classes are perfect for those who grew up dancing and miss the studio, the magic, the friendships, and the feels. And all who wish to experience the above in adulthood because it’s never too late to dance. 💛

Drop-ins welcome!

  • Includes:

    • 90-minute class

      • Targeted Warm-Up

      • Lyrical(ish) combo - different each week!

  • BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE

    • This is your level if:

      • You primarily train in other styles (heels, jazz funk, pole, etc.) and want to strengthen technical elements including leg lines, turns, balance, alignment/posture, and jumps

      • You take multiple drop-in dance classes a week and excel at picking-up/following along with choreography, but struggle to fully/safely execute technical elements

      • You are a former recreational or part-time competitive dancer who misses the environment, community, and practice of technique class

    • Dancers in this level likely:

      • Opt for a balance in rétiré or single pirouette

      • Feel most comfortable in first or second position

      • Keep most extensions below 90 degrees

  • For 6-Week Progressives, you will receive videos in the group chat of any choreography done that day. For ALL programs and offerings, please note that there are NO CREDITS offered for unattended classes under any circumstances and all purchases are non-refundable. For Performance Programs, missed classes may result in removal from sections of the dance in efforts to ensure the pacing of the program remains on track. For The Creation Lab, attendance carries higher stakes due to the fast paced nature of the program, the professional level, and impact of your absence on others. As such, attendance is strongly encouraged and the responsibility to catch up on any missed time/material falls soley to you 🙏🏼
