NEW FOR 2025:

“Elevating Choreography”

From movement to meaning.

This new 2-Day intensive will teach you how to elevate choreography beyond just executing the movement to understanding how to truly perform it.

GHM Creative:

New format is not industry-focused

Previously, GHM Creative focused on how to work as a commercial-dance choreographer in the industry.

The new GHM Creative is designed to help you tap into your creativity & explore the art of choreography, with an emphasis on the process of creation.

GHM Classic:

Find your artistic voice as a performer. For all levels, all styles.

L.A., Seattle, Bay Area, Chicago, Atlanta

GHM On-Camera:

Master the art of performing for the camera. For all levels, all styles.

L.A., Seattle, London

 GHM Mentorship:

Get mentored by Galen Hooks herself on any topic, whether it is dance-related or not. Submit from anywhere in the world for this virtual opportunity to be 1 of 5 people chosen to be mentored in 2025.

“I have had many teachers and mentors in my dance life & let me just say that never have I been so impacted by someone.”
