FAQ
-
If you want to ease into GHM with no solo filming, take ELEVATING CHOREOGRAPHY
If you’re up to the challenge of solo filming, are inspired to be around advanced dancers, or want to prioritize artistry or choreography, take GHM CLASSIC
If you’re excited to learn about how to perform for the camera, take GHM ON-CAMERA! You do not need dance experience to attend! You’ll learn choreography, but it will be acting-based & adjustable to each student-you can customize it to suit your abilities however you’d like.
-
All sessions except for LITE have had professional, veteran, retired, and advanced dancers. Choose according to what is “calling” you at this moment! Do you miss the feeling dance used to give you? CLASSIC. Want intense training? PRO. Want to be behind the camera? CREATIVE. Need to work on networking & getting hired? GAMEPLAN.

Almost every single person who has attended has made the decision to join us in the face of fear! The intensive is built to focus on overcoming big obstacles in your dancing (some of which you may not even be aware of) and that is naturally going to be a scary thing. Galen’s only objective is for you to WIN- take advantage of this very unique space where you are encouraged to make mistakes & have someone with decades of experience giving you customized feedback just for you.
If you’re still feeling nervous, send us a DM on Instagram @thegalenhooksmethod with “I’m scared!” and we’ll chat with you to find which session might be a good fit!

We email the exact location of each intensive to registered participants in a Welcome Packet 1-2 weeks before the session.
