GHM LITE is taught at a slow pace, with beginner-level choreography, in a low stress environment, with the invaluable direct one-on-one feedback from Galen.

If you are a beginner & are intimidated by GHM, this session is for you!

With the new format, you do not have to do solo choreography or freestyle in front of the group!

Bring your friends, meet new friends, and join the GHM family in a fun supportive environment.

As a choreographer and director, I work with non-dancers, ex-dancers, singers and actors of all ages, shapes, sizes, and abilities, and figure out how to get them to connect with movement.

Here is a sample of non-professional dancers who have taken TGHM in the past. Some of them had only picked up dancing that month. Some hadn’t danced in 20 years. Some had never danced in heels before. No matter what you’re background, my sole goal is for you to absolutely positively LOVE dance and to reap the benefits of it in all its glory!

Mothers have purchased this for themselves as a method of self-care.

Husbands have purchased this for their wives so they can unplug for a weekend.

Teachers and studio owners have attended as a way to become students again.

My “over 30” crowd has this on a bucket list and ticks it off with pride! Do something that scares you!

Singers and actors have attended to help understand how movement can tell a story.

No matter the reasoning, this is a chance to be selfish for a weekend, to fill your cup, to connect with your body and unplug from technology, and get a more fulfilling workout than any gym or cycle house can offer.

This is a judgement-free, therapeutic zone.

No upper age limit. No experience needed. This can be your first dance experience ever but it will NOT be your last!

___________

Scared?

It’s natural! It’s difficult for us to put into words on this website what actually happens in the session, and it’s scary for you to sign up for the unknown. Thousands of students have signed up in the face of fear, often traveling across the world to attend. They’ve made lifelong friendships in one of the most supportive dance environments offered today.

You can do it!

___________

Not sure whether to take Classic or Lite?

Whether you’ve never danced a day in your life, you used to dance when you were younger and took a break, or you’re advanced, here is a guide:

Take Classic if you aren’t intimidated being around advanced dancers, you welcome the challenge of dancing solo, and you welcome the challenge of doing improv.

Take Lite if you’re intimidated being around advanced dancers, you do not want the pressure of filming a solo freestyle (“only group dancing for me, please!”) or you struggle with choreography and want to go over the basics of fundamentals / how to retain choreography in Lite before graduating to Classic.
