And you need a space that speaks to every part of you

Training that goes beyond learning steps.

A space to push new ideas into action.

Classes that don't feel transactional.

A community that challenges and inspires.

 At Common Ground, technique is just the beginning.

We go deeper—expanding artistry, collaboration, and movement in ways that challenge convention.

We’re not a drop-in studio.

We’re not a conveyor belt of classes.

We’re something else entirely.

Concept Driven Training

Every class is designed with a purpose—less about choreography, more about exploration and depth. 

Our classes are based on concepts (e.g., musicality) instead of genres, creating a universal foundation for growth.

A True Dance Community

A membership-based space means no revolving door of strangers. You’ll train alongside dancers who challenge and inspire you, and participate in members only community events.

A Space for Experimentation

This is a place to push boundaries and redefine movement.

Every member gets free studio space to themselves. Develop your ideas, collaborate with other members, film that project.

Way Beyond Technique

Physicality is just one piece of dance.

We focus on all five pillars of dance: technique, artistry, mobility, strength, and community.

 

Our Membership

Common Ground isn’t for everyone—and that’s intentional.

We’re building a dedicated space for experienced dancers who are ready to train, experiment, and grow within a committed community. Membership is application-only because we believe community and culture is everything, so we want to get to know you (and let you get to know us!)

What You Get:

→ Curated Training – Concept-driven sessions designed for artistic and technical growth.

→ A Community of Peers – Train alongside other committed, curious movers.

→ Exclusive Access – Members-only programming, creative labs, and studio space for your own exploration.

→ More Than Just Classes – Gatherings, community dinners, and events that make this more than a place to train...

It’s more than a place to belong.

This isn’t for beginners. It’s for those who have the foundation and are ready for something more.

What We Mean by “Experienced”

You don’t have to be a professional, but you do need a foundation. Maybe you trained in ballet but are new to contemporary. Maybe you’ve danced for years but never found a space that challenged you artistically. What matters is that you have prior training, a strong movement vocabulary, and a hunger to grow.

 

 

I’ve been teaching dance for nearly twenty years, but I’ve never believed in doing things just because "that’s the way they’ve always been done."

For 11 years, I ran a dance studio for adults in Southern California and built an incredible community—but I always felt like something was missing. Traditional classes only scratched the surface. Dancers were getting a piecemeal education, jumping from one class to the next without ever having the space to go deeper. I wanted more.

Dance isn’t just movement to me—it’s transformation. After growing up in foster care and experiencing homelessness, dance was the first place where I felt a sense of belonging, healing, and purpose. It was more than training; it was a way to reconnect with myself and the world around me.

That’s why I created Common Ground—a space where dancers aren’t just students cycling through drop-in classes but artists, collaborators, and community members. As a facilitator, choreographer, and creative director, my goal is to guide dancers into new ways of training, thinking, and creating—together.

If this excites you, you’re exactly who we built this for 😏

 

Our founding membership spots are limited. If this speaks to you, now’s the time to step in.
