We are a women empowered studio that was created to give all humans the space to move.
"Once I was able to focus on my own individual journey as a dancer, aside from where others were in theirs, I was able to enjoy the art-form much more and I found freedom in dance."
We believe in growth over perfection, and collaboration over competition when it comes to dance training and the movement arts. We want everyone to that walks into this space to feel beautiful in their bodies and to use the beauty of dance to become cultivated within. Find the positive, unique qualities that make you shine within our classes or company, and let go of those unnecessary insecurities that are holding you back!
“Comparison can be used as a negative hinderance or as a positive motivator. Use it wisely” - Ciara Glass
The Foundation of Haus
I have very specific and personal reasons why I created this Haus. When I moved to Grand Rapids I knew I wanted to help shape young dancer’s, but I saw a severe lack of dance opportunities for, adults who either haven’t danced yet, had retired from a former dance career, or yearned to continue their dance training post school! Grand Rapids needed a new, welcoming, professional & creative space
for ALL AGES and ALL LEVELS to feel welcomed into the world of dance! We are here for your child, teen and you to grow and build new experiences beyond just what is offered in our Haus.
We’re training well rounded humans not simply dancers.

our vision
Making Dance An Enjoyable Learning Experience For All Humans
OUR VALUES
Empower Others
We want you to grow in a unique, supportive, inclusive & all around FUN environment! Dance should not be about striving for perfection, but about experiencing continual growth.
Stay Unique
Some days are hard, some are silly & sometimes life is just plain weird. We embrace that in our Haus. That’s how we use dance & why love it so much! Dance training is not a one-size-fits-all.
Always Accessible
No matter where you are in your dance journey we believe that training needs to be accessible for all humans regardless of their financial or cultural background.
