heels dance programs

Designed for beginners - our 6-week New To Heels journey is a gentle yet powerful immersion into Heels. We guide you with intention and care through the essentials - technique, moves, context, musicality, and artistry.

Beyond learning the basics, you’ll also be guided through connecting to your own unique identity, body, and way of moving.

Whether you want to feel more confident, explore gentle sensuality, or take your first step towards performing - this is your chance to dip your toe in, before taking that big leap.

Don’t live near a major Luminesque location? Can’t regularly make in-studio classes? You can still learn Heels and even shine on stage with us!

Join Online to Onstage - our virtual hybrid program, where you learn dance technique and choreography via Zoom from wherever you are, and then can travel to Vancouver or Victoria for the “stage-cation” of a lifetime!

All classes are recorded and performing is optional. Dance with us from anywhere - join our next cohort of Online to Onstage.

Luminary is the most dedicated inner circle of dancers at Luminesque. They train, perform, and co-create more than any other group or program - and they do so for 36 weeks a year. While they are impactful, experienced dancers - what makes a great Luminary member is their dedication to their practice and their team.

Beyond performing in all Luminesque shows, they also co-create their own show from concept to curtain call. They work with our production team to weave intentions, stories, and their own pieces into a one-of-a-kind show.

If you’ve been looking for a “dance family” that’s going to simultaneously challenge you to be the best dancer/human you can be, and hold you through every difficult moment - Luminary is the place to be. While dance experience is necessary, all ages (19+), genders, bodies, and backgrounds can apply and succeed.
