Ferocity Dance Company - Fierce Is For Everyone

SEE YOU ON THE DANCE FLOOR

Make your first step, your best step!

Group classes are often times, the most economical ways to receive quality dance instruction. Classes are led by an instructor and you take a class with various other people who are all the same level as you! It's a fun, and social way to learn dance and make friends!

​At Ferocity, we focus on technique, timing and musicality - making sure you have the tools to help you succeed on the dance floor. 

We are available to teach group classes at night clubs, dance socials, or at dance studios that are interested. We can do single time lessons, or Cumulative group classes, contact us if you're interested!

Current Studio Schedule: In Person Classes

Please note, due to COVID-19 we are unable accept Drop Ins for Partnerwork Classes and can only accept people that can attend all sessions per series. It is preferred that you register as a partnership - meaning 1 lead and 1 follow register together, single registrations, if accepted, will be paired up on the first day of class and there will be no rotations.

If you had paid for one of the March sessions, you may use your unused credit towards a new session but we can only take a limited amount of these credits per session so please contact us to see if we can use your credit for the current session you want to register for before filling out our registration forms. Group Class Cards can be used for the current sessions.

Thank you for your love, patience and understanding as we continue to navigate the pandemic as best as we can.

***Please note, if any classes do not have enough participants to run, we will cancel the series and refund the registrations.

You have basic knowledge of Bachata and already know how to dance a Basic Step (Side and Front & Back,) a Basic Left & Right Turn and are able to do so to music by yourself and with a partner. Able to execute patterns from basic to varying levels of difficulty as they progress through the level and have a basic understanding of Musicality.

Virtual Choreography Project

Choreography By: 
Kat Arias


Bachata Style: 
Varies amongst Fusion, Modern, Sensual & Traditional

Next Season Starts: 
March 9th, 2021
​
Virtual Rehearsals:
Tuesdays, 7:00pm-8:30pm


Due to COVID-19 and the uncertainty about when it's safe to have In-Person rehearsals, we have decided to have a virtual project. We will have weekly rehearsals for two months, and then create a video montage of everyone's final runs of the choreography learned (participation in final video is optional.)

During this two month period you will have weekly 1.5 hour long live practices that focus on choreography, styling and technique.

​I look forward to training with you and creating memories even during difficult and uncertain times!

WHAT SOME OF OUR DANCERS ARE SAYING

By far, joining Kat's bachata dance team has been my favorite activity I have discovered in the Washington DC (DMV) area. Kat Arias has built a dance community around her self that is founded on her vision of unity on the dance floor. The comraderie, fun atmosphere, supportive teammates, and most awesome of all: bachata skills workshops and different types of lesson she offers makes you grow into the bachatero/-a you were always meant to be!
