How our studio works:
We use three colors to help you choose the right class for your current energy:
• 🟢 CENTER (Restore & Ground): For days when you are tired or stressed. Focuses on grounding (e.g., Pilates, Yoga).
• 🟣 CREATE (Skill & Expression): For days when you want to learn a new skill. Focuses on expression (e.g., JFlow, Contemporary Dance).
• 🟡 CONNECT (Rhythm & Energy): For days when you want energy and fun. Focuses on enjoyment (e.g., DanceMix, Commercial Dance).
What to do next:
Reading is a good start, but moving is even better. We invite you to try our Explorer’s Pass for €39.
This pass includes three classes, and we suggest trying one from each category.
