Adults at C3
Our adult program is straightforward: really good music, really good dancing and a room full of people you want to come back to every week. There are three ways to join us.
Three Ways to Join Us
Adult Dance Fit
High-energy, follow-along hip hop twice a week. No experience, no choreography to memorize - just really good music and an incredible community.
OpenAdult Choreo
Want to actually learn the choreography? A weekly open-level class where you pick up a piece, build on it and perform it - no season-long commitment.
Coming SoonAdult Performance
A seasonal group that rehearses together and performs at a C3 show.
Adult Dance Fit
And no, you do not need to be a dancer. The follow-along format is made for all levels - whether you’re new to dance or just love to move.
No pressure and no dance experience required. Just come in, follow along and dance. Really good music, really good dancing, and an incredible community.
Dance Fit is the foundation of C3’s adult community. Classes feel more like dancing with a room full of friends than taking a traditional fitness class - welcoming, high-energy, and designed for adults of all levels.
What to expect
Every class is built around fun, community, and feeling your best:
- Follow-along choreography Real hip hop, broken down so you can jump right in - nothing to memorize, no experience required.
- Fire playlists Music that keeps you moving - the kind of songs that make class feel like a night out, not a workout.
- A judgment-free space Show up, let go, and do your thing. Every level is welcome, every time.
- Feel-good movement Come dance, sweat, shut your brain off for an hour and leave in a better mood than you came in.
- An incredible community Dance Fit is the heart of C3’s adult community, with opportunities throughout the year to learn performance choreography and join special C3 events.
Adult Choreo
Learn real hip hop choreography in a supportive, high-energy room. A weekly choreography class for adults who want to train and dance without committing to a performance season.
Every class centers on hip hop choreography, with time spent on musicality, movement quality, performance and getting more comfortable picking up and retaining new material. Choreography changes every two to three weeks, so dancers get to learn a piece, build on it and actually perform it before moving to the next one.
Adult Performance
Take the C3 adult program to the stage. A seasonal choreography and performance program for adults who want to rehearse together and work toward performing at a C3 show.
Adult choreography classes run weekly on Thursday evenings this fall. In January they convert into C3’s adult performance group, and adults may optionally join the performance offering at that point and continue through the year-end show. Participants learn and rehearse performance choreography, build musicality and showmanship and prepare for a C3 performance together. Participation in C3 Dance Fit and/or C3 choreography classes is encouraged so dancers remain connected to the broader adult community.
Meet your instructor
C3 founder Julie Labate grew up competing in hip hop and cheer, flew for the nationally recognized Top Gun All-Stars, and competed on the University of Florida cheer team before spending six years with NYC’s VXN Workout - leading weekly classes, serving as a Master Trainer and NYC Manager, and appearing twice on NBC’s Today Show.
Today, Julie brings that same love of music, choreography and performance to C3’s adult program. Her classes are high-energy, welcoming and built for adults who want to dance - whether they have years of experience or none at all.
