The Shakeup Experience

Dance is the language of humanity, uniting communities and tribes of people for as long as the earth has existed. Generations express emotion, celebrate cultural traditions, and communicate in a universal language that uplifts spirits and spreads love and happiness.

Since the pandemic, rebuilding community and strengthening our connections to one another has moved up on the priority list for most people. Reinforcing how we require other people in our lives to survive, humans are biologically wired for the “pack” mentality. We are not meant to live life alone.

As soon as you open the door to Shakeup Makeup, you can feel the contagious buzz of friendly energy. As it sweeps you off your feet, you will find yourself instantly welcomed into the kindest community of human beings who will make you feel like family. Your authentic self is celebrated in this encouraging space.

Shakeup Makeup is redefining wellness and beauty by inspiring others to meet and fall in love with their unique and authentic selves! Dance fitness, strength training, yoga, kickboxing, themed pop-up classes and workshops and all things makeup; Shakeup is a palace of empowerment.

 Inspiring messages are sprinkled throughout the studio as a constant reminder that your presence inside the space is a welcomed gift.  

“Yes, you can”,

“You are worthy”,

“She believed she could, so she did”

“Progress over Perfection”

The lesson or theme of every class at Shakeup Makeup is “your power is here waiting for you to step into it...and when you do…watch out. Isn’t this exactly what we hoped for when we started joining health and wellness communities? Friendships, inspiration, sisterhood and love are at the core of the Shakeup community. Always making room for new friends at the table, all people are welcome.

The uplifting playlists, exciting energy and compassion that comes from the teachers at Shakeup also contributes to the uniqueness of this community. Movement and wellness educators, encouraging students to be and accept who they are, rather than reinforce the need to change.  Genuinely humbled by your choice to choose Shakeup for your movement needs, teachers in the month of April are randomly gifting students with tokens of appreciation.

When you dance, exercise, and move your body in a way that honors your true self, you are cultivating joy. Happy students leave Shakeup Makeup and bring their happiness out into the world. The spreading of that universal joy begins within the studio walls; perhaps a high-five from someone you don’t know or the gift of a glow stick for the blacklight dance, or maybe you heard “it’s really good to see you today”.

Breaking down the walls of old-fashioned stereotypes and offering the tools to rebuild what the idea of beauty means to everyone is the message delivered from the beauty side of the studio.  “You are perfectly beautiful as you are” is at the core of every makeup session. (Wedding and event makeup and hair, lessons, and consultations are available.)

Honoring the mind and body connection, coaching sessions offered at Shakeup address the needs of the whole person rather than a singled out branch of wellness. Compassionate guidance and a loving approach weaves coaching sessions into the overall dynamic of Shakeup Makeup, making it a truly special place.

Come by for a class and you will join the movement of people dedicated to living life happily, peacefully, and beautifully.
