About The Army DC

Our Mission

It’s not about having the best abs, the biggest physical transformation or being the “best” dancer in the room… It’s about how you feel once you leave the room compared to how you felt when you walked in. Every day we make this our promise, to make every day way more exciting, more fun, a release of infectious positive energy to inspire all members of The Army DC to continue keeping fit, healthy, happy and of course improve their dancing in an extremely supportive and motivating environment.

Our focus is on accelerating our dance-fit family as not just dancers, but as people by sky-rocketing their confidence, pushing them to discover their full potential and surrounding each and every single person with support from not just me and my team, but ALL of our other members too. It’s no surprise that our biggest barrier preventing us from unleashing our hidden skills and talent is actually ourselves, and discovering this is exactly what lead us to create such empowering, caring and genuinely amazing dancers with so much personality at The Army DC.

The Army DC – The place where you can be bold, be YOUR best and be YOU.

Hey family! Becks here, let me introduce myself.. I know it’s all a little daunting stepping into any dance class (so GO YOU btw, we’ve got you!), and I know that because I feel it myself.. I know that feeling like you’re in a class of 100 people but you feel like there’s no one else in the room.. So, I created a school that strips those nerve-racking tens vibrations away as quickly as possible. We take away the pressure, encourage mistakes, share the best energy, get vulnerable quickly and do what we love to do best with people who are JUST like you! We do everything in our power to make you feel at home, skyrocket your confidence, feel your best, make friends for life, excel in your dancing of course and become a part of a family who will never ever forget you. Whether you’re a complete newbie, or you’re aiming for the stars in the profession world, you’re all the same to me. Your journey will be steered differently, but your experience will be the same - positive, inclusive, a little wild, warm, and just a bit crazy lol… Welcome to the family, I can’t wait to coach you.
