DANCE-A-THON Stop 4: Katputli and Bollyfolk by @malikkaghei ❤️❤️❤️

A LIVE2DANCE ORIGINAL. A LIVE2DANCE SIGNATURE.
10 CLASSES. 12 INSTRUCTORS. 12 HOURS OF PURE DANCE MADNESS.

THE ALL-NIGHT DANCE-A-THON IS BACK.

September 25 | 6 PM – 6 AM

TEN YEARS of Live2Dance calls for something a little… unhinged.

So obviously, we had to bring back one of the most iconic things we’ve ever created.
Years ago, we had one ridiculous thought:
What if we just… danced ALL NIGHT?

And because this is Live2Dance, instead of laughing at the idea and moving on like normal people… we actually did it

And somehow, the All-Night Dance-a-thon became one of those signature Live2Dance experiences you simply never forget.

This isn’t about being the best dancer. It isn’t even about surviving every single class.
It’s about everything Live2Dance has always stood for:
Dance. Madness. Friendship. Community. Showing up for each other. Pushing each other when we’re ready to give up. And cheering each other through the night. ❤️

There will be dancing. There will be food breaks. There will be delirious 3 AM conversations. There will almost certainly be some questionable life decisions around 4:37 AM. 😂 But then… there will be 6 AM.

A room full of exhausted, sweaty, slightly delirious humans :) Music still blasting. Energy somehow still HIGH. Hearts ridiculously full.
Looking around at the people who made it through the night with you and screaming:

“WE DID IT.” ❤️🔥
And THAT feeling?
You just have to be there.

10 years. 10 classes. 12 instructors. 12 hours.
Sunset to sunrise

Not for the faint-hearted.
Only the truest dance lovers will make it to sunrise. 🔥

*SEPTEMBER IS HERE*. And this one means everything. 🥹❤️

On September 10, 2016, we walked into a little room in Seattle and taught our first Live2Dance class.
We had absolutely NO idea what we were starting.

10 years later… Thousands of people have walked through our doors. 
We’ve danced. We’ve performed. We’ve travelled. We’ve created absolute madness. 😂 We’ve celebrated each other. Held each other through hard days. Made lifelong friendships. Built a community.

Somewhere along the way, a dance class became home. ❤️
*And this September, OUR HOME TURNS 10.*

Obviously, we couldn’t celebrate something this big with one party.

So we’re taking the ENTIRE MONTH🔥

*SEPT 10: CALL THEM HOME* Celebrating 10 years exactly where it all began.

*ALL MONTH: SHOW-UP CHALLENGE* This September, every class you attend counts. The student who attends the MOST Live2Dance classes during September and finishes the month at #1 on our class leaderboard wins… *A DATE WITH THEIR FAVORITE L2D INSTRUCTOR!* And yes… LIVE2DANCE IS PAYING.

*ALL MONTH: 10 YEARS, THOUSANDS OF STORIES* Our anniversary wall is up. Leave your memories, messages and little pieces of your L2D story behind.

*WEEK OF SEPT 21: BRINGING YOUR FAVORITE CHOREO BACK* Remember that ONE Live2Dance choreography from the last 10 years that you just cannot get over? Well… tell your instructors!
For one entire week, our instructors will bring back YOUR favorite choreographies from the last 10 years. One whole week of THROWBACKS

*SEPT 25 — ALL-NIGHT DANCE-A-THON 6 PM to 6 AM*. 10 classes. 12 instructors. No sleep. Questionable life choices.  The most Live2Dance way possible to end our celebrations.

So all month long…
*COME HOME*. ❤️
We’re celebrating US

We warned you. 😈

We will NOT let you sit still this September.
Because HOW exactly are we supposed to celebrate 10 YEARS OF LIVE2DANCE quietly?! 😂❤️

So… we may have gone a little overboard.
Okay, fine. A LOTTTTT overboard. 😂🔥

September is officially our 10-YEAR CELEBRATION MONTH and trust us when we say…
WE. HAVE. PLANS. 👀

Lots of them.
Some nostalgic.  Some wholesome.  Some absolutely ridiculous.  And some that might require you to seriously question your stamina. 👀

We’re not revealing everything just yet. Over the next few days, we’ll start dropping surprises one by one.

For now, consider this your OFFICIAL WARNING:
BLOCK. YOUR. SEPTEMBER.

Don’t travel. Don’t disappear.
Because you’re going to want to be here for this one.

10 YEARS. ONE WHOLE MONTH. AND A LOTTTT OF MADNESS. ❤️
We’re celebrating ALL. MONTH. LONG.

JazzFunk Tuesday 💃Short choreo. Lots to play with.

With Asalaam-E-Ishqum, I wanted to challenge myself again with bringing jazz-funk vocabulary to a Bollywood song — but this time, especially playing with the pauses. Not filling every beat just because the music gives you one. Letting certain moments breathe, switching textures, and using the music to decide when to move and when not to.

It was a small group yesterday, which meant we got to really spend time on those details — and I loved that.

Thank you for everyone who came through 🤍

Short routine, but definitely not short on details

🤳 @dee_jammy thank you for creating this space, your energy and having you in class is always extra special 🥹🙏 Besides absolute nailing this one 😍

🎵 Asalaam-e- Ishqum Thank you @malikkaghei for the song reco but also coming through and slaying 🥹♥️

There are artists you admire... and then there are artists who inspire the way you dream

@punitjpathakofficial has been one of those people for me for years.

So this isn’t just another workshop announcement. This is genuinely one of the proudest moments for all of us at Live2Dance.

Someone pinch me. 🥹

To have the opportunity to not only host him, but to learn from someone whose artistry has inspired millions, is something I don’t take for granted.

And beyond the incredible dancer, choreographer, and performer that the world knows, it’s his humility that has left the biggest impression on me.

This is going to be one of those “I can’t believe this is happening” moments.

See you all in class! ❤️🔥

Took it back 18 years with this one 🙌🙌
Jazz Funk to Bollywood songs has been an adventurous challenge.
Finding songs that fit the style but also setting choreography that brings out bollywood vibes .

It's been a journey I have thoroughly enjoyed so far.

Transitions so fast that it was a tough class for 1st timers. Kudos to all who pushed through.

This class had students with such different levels of experience.
New to dance, new to this style. Regular Jazz Funk loyals also found it different and that's my biggest win after class.

Thank you to all who came through.
Next class on Wednesday, July 29th at 6:30pm !💃💃
