How it all began

It was the summer of 2011. I had just moved to San Francisco from NYC. One day I was sitting at a café with friends lamenting the fact that I couldn’t find a dance class I loved in SF, when the obvious answer presented itself… create your own! I had studied with some amazing teachers in New York that gave me the foundation and spirit of the class I wanted to create. The week I went to look at the beautiful Academy of the Ballet, which became home to the flagship class, every Sunday - Sunday Skool as it was called. It started small with six friends and over time has grown into something I couldn’t have imagined - spawning multiple classes and workshops throughout the Bay Area; as well as the late-night dance party, Sexitude PM, and performances for audiences of up to 1,400 people. It has become more than a class, it is a community, a movement, a dedication to being more amazing in our everyday lives.

D’Arcy’s class is one of those amazing welcoming spaces where you can be as unapologetically fierce/spunky/diva/sexy/you as you want. —Alice L.

You don’t have to have any kind of dancing background. It’s not about nailing the moves. It’s about feeling good in your own skin and getting in touch with your inner sexy (and attitude). —Juliana X.
