Sometimes you just need to dance it out in a dark room. Let it all out at Dance Church:
There are times when a hardcore workout is great. When you need to be pushed to your limits with weights, cardio and the amount of time you can stand an instructor yelling at you toOther times you need to just dance things out in a dark room, where the yelling is done by Kelly Clarkson hitting a high note in a “Love So Soft” remix.
For those moments, there is Dance Church, a “movement-focused workout” that takes place Sunday mornings in Silver Lake.But fair warning. Starting your morning with Dance Church means at some point you will be hugging a bunch of sweaty strangers in a dark studio. You will stand in a tight circle of heavy breathing and moist performance tops while Robyn’s “Dancing on My Own” thumps in your ears.
Described as “the dance party you wish you had last night,” Dance Church is neither religious nor specifically a dance class, but more a chance to move and swing and twirl like no one is watching with a group of like-minded people.
As a way to expand her community in Seattle and help promote her friends’ dance work, Wallich opened up this casual “Sunday morning movement class” to nondancer friends. Not surprisingly, a free-form dance class set to a Top 40 backdrop soon caught on. And as Wallich’s dance company, Studio Kate Wallich and the YC, began to grow and she began to travel around the country for commissions and shows, so did Dance Church.
Today, there are classes in typical outposts like Portland, San Francisco and New York City, but also Indianapolis and soon Salt Lake City. We tried it, and here’s what you can expect:Dance Church L.A. takes place in the back room of the Sweat Spot, a studio space in Silver Lake that prides itself on being a hub for the Eastside arts community, hosting dance classes of all genres and skill levels.
