Come in loose fitting clothing that allows for mobility. High Heels OPTIONAL, but obviously and warmly encouraged!
Sky Slywchuk’s beginner-open level High Heels dance class is suitable for anyone new to dancing in high heels or new to dance in general. The class can be taken with or without shoes.

Sky’s practical approach to dancing helps demystify the process and he specializes in making the movement feel accessible to anyone. The class provides the opportunity for any and everyone to get a feel for the technique of walking toe-ball-heel, runway style struts, pivots, bevels and subtle weight transfers in high heel or platform shoes.

The class begins with a warm up that is thorough and progressive, including cardio, mobilization, grooves and stretch, effectively preparing you head to toe for a full-bodied experience.

Next is learning choreography, with musical selections tending to be more urban, but Sky regularly takes requests and actively switches up the song styles. Sky is a one of a kind instructor with an authentic style that is unique to him, combining street-jazz with influences of voguing, waacking, hip-hop, jazz and floor work. Sky’s choreography is at once urban, lyrical, musical and dynamic. He prides himself on offering fresh material that doesn’t feel like anyone else’s whilst playing with both masculine & feminine movement qualities. It’s important to Sky to always be striving to instill versatility and encourage adaptability in his students. He presents the movement combinations in such a way that dancers have choices in the particular way they can perform a step, and motivates his students to stylize the dance in their own way, make it their own and ‘choose their own adventure’ in how they want it to feel. This results in nurturing performance qualities, artistry and facial expression in an organic way.

Sky has a big personality and energetic teaching style, but remains modest, humble, un-intimidating and approachable.
He looks forward to adding vibrant energy to the Zen family and pumping some life into the Sudbury LGBTQ+ community.
