Adult Music Video Choreography Classes

What Is a DivaDance Choreography Class?

DivaDance is a 60-minute in-person adult dance class where you learn an original music video routine set to pop, hip-hop, and throwback hits. Every class breaks the choreography into bite-sized 8-count phrases that build over the hour, so the routine you couldn't follow at minute five becomes the routine you nail at minute fifty-five.

We've been running this format since 2015, across 50+ locations, with 27 different class themes that rotate by season and city. Beyoncé week. Country week. Y2K week. Whatever's on the marquee that week, you walk out having learned the whole routine.

Research from Harvard Medical School on how dance engages the brain shows that learning choreography activates motor planning, memory, and rhythm at the same time. Few adult activities do all three at once.

Confidence isn't a prerequisite. It's an outcome.

Do I Need Dance Experience for an Adult Choreography Class?

No. DivaDance was built for adults with no formal dance training, and the member data backs that up.

Across responses from more than 10,000 new DivaDance members, nearly half had never taken a formal dance class before walking into their first DivaDance studio. More than 95% aren't currently training as dancers. Fewer than 1 in 20 walks in already trained.

Most adult dance classes assume the opposite. They assume you've taken dance before, that you know what plié means, that you can pick up an 8-count without staring at the floor. We see the opposite in our member data, week after week.

Dance psychologist Peter Lovatt, founder of the Dance Psychology Lab at the University of Hertfordshire and author of The Dance Cure (2020), has published research showing that structured group dance classes are particularly effective at building confidence in adults who describe themselves as non-dancers. The format gives self-conscious adults a place to focus that isn't their own reflection.

If you want a clearer picture of your first class, see what to expect and what to wear.

DivaDance was built for the 95%, not the 5%.

What Makes DivaDance Different From Other Adult Dance Classes?

Three things: the format, the music, and who shows up.

The format is choreography you learn over the course of an hour. Not a workout where you mirror an instructor. Not a freestyle where you make it up. An actual routine, broken into counts you can follow, that gets harder and looks better as the class goes on.

The music is current. DJ-quality playlists with the songs you actually listen to, not generic "dance fitness" tracks that nobody recognizes. Beyoncé. Bad Bunny. Sabrina Carpenter. Throwbacks when the theme calls for it.

The audience is adults who want to dance but never thought they could. We've been running for them since 2015, across 50+ locations, and our origin story is exactly that audience finding their format.

Looking for a different format?

DivaDance choreography classes are routine-based and high-energy. If you want a continuous-cardio dance party with no choreography to memorize, see DivaDance NonStop. If you want a slower, low-impact wellness format with breathwork and stillness, see DivaDance DanceRx.

Choreography is the lane. Pop and hip-hop is the soundtrack. Adults who never thought they could dance are the audience.

Built for How Adults Actually Learn

Most adult dance classes throw a routine at you and assume you'll keep up. We do the opposite. Every combo gets broken into bite-sized 8-counts you can follow at your own pace. Drill, layer, repeat. By the end of the hour, you've stacked the whole routine one count at a time.

F.A.Q.

Are DivaDance classes in-person or virtual?

All DivaDance classes happen in-person at local DivaDance studios. We don't currently offer virtual or online classes. The energy of an in-person class is what makes the format work: the music, the instructor, the people learning the routine alongside you. You can find your nearest studio and class schedule on our locations page.

How much does a DivaDance class cost?

First-time visitors typically use the Two-Week Trial, which is $59 at most studios (some locations offer lower introductory pricing). After the trial, classes are included in DivaDance membership at every studio. Drop-in pricing is $30 per class. Visit your local studio page for current pricing and class schedules.

Will I be sore after my first DivaDance class?

Probably, yes. DivaDance is a 60-minute full-body class that combines movements you don't typically do in everyday life: hip rolls, body waves, footwork patterns, isolations. First-class soreness in your legs, hips, and core is common and usually fades within 24-48 hours. Stay hydrated and stretch after class. The fastest way to skip the worst of first-class soreness is to book your second class within a few days and your third within the same week. Your body adapts faster than you think, and most members hit their stride by their third class, which is exactly why we built the Two-Week Trial to fit three classes in.

I'm self-conscious about dancing—is DivaDance for me?

Yes. Most people who walk into their first DivaDance class describe themselves as self-conscious about dancing. Tell that to the thousands of members who keep coming back. The format is built to be judgment-free by design: the studio is set up so the instructor leads from the front, and the routine gives everyone the same thing to focus on. We've been running this format for adults since 2015 because dancing shouldn't require formal training or a particular body type to enjoy.

Do I need any dance experience for DivaDance?

None. DivaDance was built for adults with no formal dance training. Every class breaks routines into bite-sized 8-count phrases that build over the 60 minutes, so beginners and experienced dancers nail the same choreography by the end. Show up, follow along, have fun. The choreography meets you where you are.

Is DivaDance only for women?

Nope! Our inclusive dance community welcomes all adults (18+)—all gender inclusive—who want a judgment-free place to move, build community, and boost confidence.

What type of dance is DivaDance?

What should I wear to dance class?

You can wear anything you feel comfortable and confident dancing in! For most, that means leggings, joggers, or biker shorts, t-shirt/tank top, and athletic shoes. If a leotard, tutu, or booty shorts are your favorite fit - go for it! Don't forget to bring water and get ready to sweat, smile, and nail those eight-counts.

Can I bring my kids to class?

While we love kids, our classes are for adults 18+ only. Often our classes have unedited music with explicit lyrics and sexy moves, but most importantly we are a unique community where our clients come to feel safe, confident and uninhibited, and it's really important to us to maintain that.
