INDIVIDUAL KEEPSAKE FOOTAGE FOR EACH PARTICIPANT

FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE

In only 2 Days, this experience will change your entire mindset on how and why you dance.

Galen will assess each participant individually with an uncanny ability to truly “see” what makes you special & translate that into movement.

The most common concerns students have when entering the session:

  • I want to be more confident.

  • I have more to offer as a dancer and want it to be brought out of me.

  • How do I put “me” into my dancing?

  • I feel like there’s a wall I can’t get past.

  • I’m constantly comparing myself to others.

  • I feel invisible.

  • I’ve fallen out of love with dance/myself/my body.

  • I take class all the time but there’s just something missing from my dancing.

  • My dancing LOOKS different than it FEELS.

  • I want to overcome my fear of freestyling.

  • I want to overcome my fear of the camera.

  • I want honest feedback – tell me the things that nobody else will tell me.

Participants have come in being focused on the following styles:

contemporary / jazz / ballet / pole / ballroom / breaking / heels / fire dancers / hoop dancers / aerialists / poppers / street styles / krump / classical Indian / modern / tap dance / non-dancer hobbyists with no focused style

and through the intensive, Galen brings out a genre-defying style within each individual that erases the traditional styles of dance we might find ourselves in.

✺ FAQ ✺

  • If you are advanced and have a great relationship with dance (you feel focused, motivated, confident and mentally ready for intense training), read all about GHM PRO on the website below and let’s get you in top shape!

    If you are advanced but still struggle with mental and emotional challenges related to dance, keep reading:

    As one of the most versatile and advanced dancers in the industry, my goal with advanced dancers is to completely change how and why you dance.

    Often, skilled dancers have mental roadblocks related to:

    -self criticism (after all, how do you become so skilled without being hard on yourself? It has paid off in the sense that you are now as good as you are, but let’s see what else there is to you as an artist)

    -losing sense of self (perhaps you’re great at doing exactly what the teacher asks for, but don’t know who YOU are)

    -you’ve reached a plateau (How many more jazz funk classes can you really take? Are you missing a challenge? I will find your weaknesses and get you to strengthen them.)

    -you’ve forgotten what it’s like to play (Nailing choreography can become repetitive- when was the last time someone encouraged you to make mistakes? to explore? to experiment? to try something different even if it doesn’t work out?)

    The advanced dancers who have taken GHM have mentally transformed and now use their bodily facility at maximum capacity.

    _________

    Attendees have ranged from 10-60 years old, from beginners to industry veterans, from iconic actors and musicians to scientists.

    This session has a unique ability to put every dancer of every level on an even playing field, making the session 100% judgement free.

  • 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.

    If you don’t risk something, you don’t gain anything.

    If you’re truly scared, you can email info@galenhook.com or DM @thegalenhooksmethod with “I’m Scared!” and we’ll do our best to make you feel comfortable.

    You can do it!

  • 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’re inspired 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.

  • For in-person sessions, we send out the exact time and location in the week or two leading up to each session. For digital sessions, the times are listed in the dropdown menu when you select your ticket.

  • The standard terms and conditions still apply:

    If the cancellation is at least 14 days prior to the start time, you will be refunded 50% of the full session cost.

    Terms and Conditions must be agreed upon before being able to confirm purchase.
