Three months ago, I showed up for a Body Burn class at Textured Dance Studio. I was greeted by the owner and main instructor, Damon. Damon’s welcoming presence and positive vibes were felt immediately. Things only got better as we began class which starts with a warm up followed by conditioning exercises then a choreographed routine for about 4 songs for cardio. This workout can be challenging but also SO MUCH FUN! Damon’s infectious energy paired with his choreography/dance skills blew me away. He promotes a judgement free zone where all fitness/dance levels are welcome. I became a member that same day and have been coming to class 4-5 times a week now. I have also tried yoga, contemporary and restorative mobility classes. I highly recommend all of those classes also! I absolutely love the workout and welcoming community I have found at Textured Dance Studio. Highly recommend this studio for anyone looking for a fun and effective workout with wonderful people!
Damon is such a phenomenal, respectful, educational, judgement free and entertaining instructor. Has helped me. To find a new form of expression and has taught the class and I incredible lessons! Love him!
I love textured!!! Dancing not only helps me feel comfortable in my own shape but also boosts up my confidence. Damon and Willyum who are the two voguing instructors are so friendly. Willyum literally adopted me as her “daughter”. I didn’t know what that means at first but i felt welcomed. I’m looking forward to come back and take more classes at Textured. So far I’ve taken Hiphop taught by Damon and it was fun too.
Taking classes at Textured Dance was my first voguing experience. Both Damon and Willyum were very encouraging to me during class even though I clearly knew I was a newbie haha. Damon is really good at teaching technical elements and Willyum is the teacher to inspire me to find myself in voguing. Willyum embraces who I am by teaching me how to Vogue. I would definitely recommend both Damon and Willyum’s class.
I find that the stretching class goes really well with voguing class. I love to explore my body and the fem side of myself. Textured Dance is a safe space for me to be who I am. Willyum is a very respectful instructor. He will also call you out if your are not trying or being lazy(in good way). But why going to class if you are not willing to grow and explore? Stretches before vogue is recommended. ;p
