Our foundation dance classes are the best way to
improve your rhythm, co-ordination and confidence
Not quite ready for an in-person class?
If you’d rather build your skills from the comfort of your own space or you simply can’t make it to our studio you can join our global community Jaiva Online.
These classes are designed specifically for a virtual audience (not just recordings of our in-person sessions), so you’ll get the same energy, clarity, and quality as if you were in the room with us. We’ve worked very hard to make sure the experience is top tier.
Our focus is simple: strong foundations and real confidence. We break moves down clearly, so you understand not just how to do them, but where they come from and how to make them your own.Think of it as your personal dance toolkit:
Live interactive sessions you can join from anywhere
Access to all class replays so you can learn at your own pace
A library of step-by-step foundation tutorials to master the basics
A global dance community where you can connect, share, and grow with others
Wherever you are in the world, you can learn the moves, feel the music, and dance with confidence all with the support of our worldwide Jaiva family.
We asked our last cohort what they enjoyed most about our online classes.
“I loved your ENERGY! The new set up you had for this last class (on-screen info, front mirror view, back view, & synched music through the computer) really leveled up the class. I also love the emails you send out before/after, and all the cheering on of us you do! Also enjoy hearing a bit about the genres, the artists, where the dance moves come from <3”
“Everything! I love that you broke down the basics in the front half then incorporated into a choreography in the back half. Also loved the music choices – nothing but vibes. Thank you Chinyanta!”
“I liked learning the names and origins of the moves and learning about new music (LOVED Awilo Longomba). The moves were challenging but not too difficult as a beginner and I like how we drilled certain movements, especially legwork in week 3!! The choreography was fun and Chinyanta was super encouraging <3”
“I loved your explanations, passion and always learning new things.”
“I loved the variety of dance class, style of dancing, amapiano was my favourite”
