What Is Heels Dance? And Should You Try It?

What Is Heels Dance?

Heels is a choreography-based style that blends jazz, hip-hop, and feminine movement — often performed in heels but not always required for beginners. It’s known for its clean lines, confident energy, and empowering presence.

Do You Have to Wear Heels?

Nope. Many beginner classes welcome sneakers, especially during warmups and combos. Teachers often encourage dancers to try heels once they’re comfortable with balance and posture — but there’s no rush.

Who Is It For?

Heels is for anyone looking to tap into power, sensuality, and performance — regardless of gender, experience, or background. It’s about how you feel, not how you look.

What to Expect in Class

  • A warmup to build strength and mobility (lots of core + legs)
  • Across-the-floor drills to build balance, walk confidently, and isolate movements
  • Choreography that blends music, feeling, and performance

Some classes focus more on technique; others on vibes. You’ll get both over time.

Is It Beginner-Friendly?

Yes. There are heels classes specifically made for first-timers, with slower combos and clear instruction. Werkflow makes it easy to find beginner-level classes that feel supportive.

Should You Try It?

If you’re even slightly curious — yes. Heels dance is confidence-building, expressive, and really fun. You’ll challenge yourself, move differently, and discover new parts of your personality through dance.

Whether you come in heels or sneakers, just come as you are.
