The Mindz Behind Methodz and what we’re all about
What we’re about
At Methodz, we believe dance is more than just steps — it’s a language, a release, a way to discover who you are. Our mission is to create a home away from home for dancers who crave both authenticity and technical growth.
We know that after graduating high school or college, the structure and community of “studio life” often fades. Methodz exists to fill that gap — a space where dancers of all backgrounds can come together to train, experiment, fail boldly, and grow unapologetically.
Here, passion is key, creativity is celebrated, and movement happens for movement’s sake — not just for applause, but for expression, storytelling, and self-discovery. From contemporary to hip-hop, jazz to tap, ballet to heels, we honor both foundation and innovation, blending technical excellence with the freedom to create your own voice.
Through weekly classes and rotating pop-ups in styles like musical theatre, vogue, and house, we’re building a space where you don’t just take class — you become part of a community that keeps you inspired and consistent.
This is Methodz.
