Ever notice how class combos seem stuck in place these days? In this episode of Hey Dancer, I dive into why choreography has become so stationary and upper-body focused. Inspired by an episode of a Netflix show (Explained) that unexpectedly helped to connect the dots for me, I explore…

• the rise of social media
• packed studios
• the dominance of vertical video

…and how these trends are reshaping the way we dance in class and beyond.

Plus, I highlight choreographers whose movement still commands space and energy, proving that dance can be both powerful and expansive.

Let's break it down and rediscover the joy (and importance) of traveling across the studio floor!

The Netflix show referenced in the episode is: Explained ("Dance Crazes")
