A JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE-INSPIRED PIECE THAT PUSHED THESE DANCERS COMPLETELY OUTSIDE THEIR COMFORT ZONE. 🔥

Following last year’s show, I knew I wanted to create something inspired by Justin Timberlake this year — a piece with a completely different energy, style and performance quality.

For some of these dancers, this choreography was far outside their usual comfort zone. But they embraced the challenge, pushed themselves through every rehearsal and worked relentlessly to bring my choreography to the level I had envisioned.

The commitment, precision, musicality and energy they brought to this piece made the end result so rewarding to watch.

As a choreographer, seeing dancers take something challenging, make it their own and perform it with confidence is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

Beyond proud of every single one of you. You should be incredibly proud of what you created. ❤️‍🔥

💃✨ Dance Getaway guest dance teacher @alanmcgrath ✨💃

Everyone had the best time dancing and learn foundational techniques from Alan ,
He is a breath of fresh air 🫶🏻
From getting the steps right (eventually 😂) to laughing at ourselves along the way, the place was full of energy, joy and connection 🕺💃

So many smiles, so much laughter, and memories we’ll keep dancing back to. ❤️
Dance brings us together. Laughter makes it unforgettable 😘
