Dance Church

Pier 58

Dance ChurchTM is an all-abilities movement class that offers a fun and inclusive approach to dancing. Designed for people of all shapes and sizes, backgrounds and identities, Dance Church is a communal space for people who want to move their bodies. 

The teacher leads this 90-minute class in a series of movement cues, accompanied by a curated playlist of multi-genre pop music. The format is open but guided throughout. 

Dance ChurchTM was created by Kate Wallich in 2010. Classes are hosted regularly in Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, and New York, and have popped up in cities worldwide. 

All levels, abilities, body types, identities, and genders. No previous training is required, but open-mindedness is a prerequisite. 

Wear clothes you can sweat in. Most people go barefoot or wear socks. 

Get lost dancing and sweat (a lot) together—it’s the dance party you wish you had last night.
