Welcome to The Werk Lab where dance is for every body, every level, and every journey.

Founded by Chenise Johnson, a professional dancer, choreographer, and former 5-time NBA dancer, The Werk Lab was created to make high-quality dance training more accessible, empowering, and fun. We believe dance isn't just about performing, it's about building confidence, finding community, expressing yourself, and discovering what you're capable of.

Whether you're stepping into your very first class, training for a professional dance team, looking for fresh choreography, or simply searching for a space to move and have fun, there's a place for you here.

Our classes and experiences are designed to challenge you, inspire you, and celebrate your progress—no matter where you're starting. From performance training and choreography to specialty workshops and community events, every offering is rooted in the belief that movement has the power to transform both your skills and your confidence.

At The Werk Lab, we're not just creating stronger dancers, we're building a community where everyone feels seen, supported, and inspired to take up space.

Come as you are. Leave with confidence. Let's werk.
