Hello Form-nation.
A space for dance movement. We strengthen the connection between your mind, body and the beat. We provide a judgment-free space from the world, but most importantly, from yourself. Formation exists to help you form habits that build you forward. Own your presence, find your power and feel freedom within the music. We are here, moving together, with you.
Classes
FREEDOM
You want to move and dance but without the pressure of nailing a routine. With lots of repetition and guidance, you can let go in this class, take up space, and connect with your body. While designed to be a sweat session, like life, you get what you give so take it at an intensity that suits you best.
Move to the music and engage the entire body in this cardio party. Be free in this non-stop class. There is no routine taught but we’ll provide you a blueprint of movement. Take the inspiration in a way that feels good for you and keeps your heart pumping.
POWER
Your goal is to increase your strength and muscular endurance. You want a motivated atmosphere where you can go at your own pace but have a challenge when you need it. Your muscles crave a burn and you don’t mind a reminder you’ve worked hard when you walk up the stairs for a couple of days.
Own your power in this music-driven class. Using body weight, dumbbells and bands, you will exercise your whole body. Work through the resistance as you build on your endurance and strength. There is no choreography but we’ve got you beat for beat.
PRESENCE
Press pause on everything else as you learn choreography. We’ve got your back as we walk you through, step by step. Each song is taught over two weeks to maximize your familiarity with the movements. Moving forward, fast or slow, progress is progress.

The Motto
Frequently Asked Questions
At its core, a Formation class will be an immersive, music-driven experience that will strengthen the relationship between your mind and body. We have a three class options: Freedom is a non-stop movement class that keeps your heart pumping; Power is where you’ll work through the resistance in a music-driven strength and conditioning class; Presence is our original choreography class where you’ll learn a routine.
We have an emphasis on hip-hop with splashes of rap, pop, and house. We use the explicit version of songs so there will be profanity and inappropriate language. Music and dance is a way to express emotion and sometimes we get in touch with the feelings that are less nice and less polite. Movement in our space can be a place to connect with and release those emotions.
Freedom class is ideal for a first experience. There’s no routine and lots of repetition in the movement. As for the physical challenge, we like to think you get out what you put in.
Wear something you are comfortable sweating in. Tees, tanks, and leggings are common. Your shoes should be indoor-only and athletic in style. Running shoes or cross-trainers are ideal. Pack a reusable water bottle but please leave glass bottles or jars at home. Towel service and complimentary lockers are provided.
Our studio is 1000 sqft with a large 11' x 12' window that allows in lots of natural light. The studio has wall-to-wall mirrors and two JBL JRX215 15" speakers. Please note we do not allow any glassware (unless shatterproof) in the studio or heels.
We give you a blueprint of movement and are happy for you to make it your own based on what you’re comfortable with. Our movement motivators can also provide alternative options if you have an injury. We're not here for competition or preformance, it's all about feeling good and we're here to help you get there.
Our Freedom class is non-stop movement that keeps your heart pumping and has no routine. It's a triple sweat emoji kind of class. Or you can try our Power class which is a music-driven strength and conditioning class. Fire emoji all the way.
Our classes are beginner-friendly. Most of our students have little or no dance experience and our classes are designed with this in mind. Feeling comfortable with learning choreography in Presence class can take more time. We recommend taking both Part One and Two of the same routine to reinforce and build your new skills.
Each Presence class is 50 minutes long and we work on routines for two weeks. For new clients, we recommend starting with Part One and completing Part Two of the routine as it maximizes your comfort with the movement. We do a full recap of Part One before we add on during a Part Two class so you get reacquainted with familiar movement.
We teach each routine for two weeks. During week one, everyone will be starting from scratch. On week two, even if you missed the first time it was taught, our instructor will go over all the previously taught choreography. You are always welcome to join in for week two for an extra challenge.
Our studio is focused on adults so 18 is the minimum age.
