Here you will learn directly from our Oula choreographers why certain moves were chosen to help us more deeply experience the story and move it through our bodies.

Give Meaning to the Movement | Dancing Feet
by Kygo and DNCE
Enjoy the little bit of a disco vibe here. This one is fun and bouncy. Paisley loves singing "So tell me now, do you want it?" right before the chorus! This one should feel pretty nice and easy for us to get quickly into the groove.

This song is about strength, resilience and empowerment. Sink or Swim brings us to a dark place and reminds us that we can keep fighting, we can keep our head above water and overcome our struggles. The artist encourages listeners to be their own biggest supporters and to embrac...

Give Meaning to the Movement | THE GIRLS
by BLACKPINK
Feel that powerful feminine energy and enjoy having your posse around you. This song has a lot of confidence and sass. "Mess with us you messed up!"
Sing out "Don't mess with the girls, with the girls, with the girls!" This song is fairly straightforward and repetitive, and no bri... -
Give Meaning to the Movement | World is Mine
by Lady Bri
Feel on top of the world as you feel your power in this song. The movements are strong - moving through them together will connect us. The low travels across the floor will be powerful to flow through together. We encourage you to use your voice. Even a loud “Huh” can be powerful! -
Give Meaning to the Movement | Body Count
We don't believe in too much Jason Derulo ; ). With the body rolls and going down to the floor after the kicks you are bound to feel sexy, confident, & determined.
Remember, there's always an option to stay more upright if you want to avoid going down to the floor. During the body roll, be sure ...

Give Meaning to the Movement | Don't Think Twice
If we imagine we were going to approach a stranger and ask them out, it would be a lot easier if we had a crew cheering for us, right? That's what we are doing for each other in this song. Whether we are asking someone out or trying something new, it's comforting to know that we have our hype peo...

Give Meaning to the Movement | Gimme Love
We all need love. Connection is a human need, so there is already a common thread between everyone who shows up to class. It's brave to ask for what we want and need. This song is a celebration of humanness and vulnerability.
-
Give Meaning to the Movement | Mirage
Channel that main character energy – this song is fierce with dark and mysterious undertones that give us an opportunity to feel powerful, determined, sexy, bold, and even angry. You are reaching out toward that goal or desire; you are working hard but will it materialize? Or is it just a mirage?

Give Meaning to the Movement | Thunder
Introspective. Excited. Powerful. Feel the highs and lows of life fully. Embrace the thunder and rain as well as the excitement of wanting to fall in love again.
-
Give Meaning to the Movement | I Am Free
This song is about ending relationships and creating boundaries, which, for many of us, is a very challenging and brave act of self-love. Of course, there is some sadness in there as well, as we don't usually want relationships to end. However, sometimes they have to in order for us to authentica...

Give Meaning to the Movement | Rhythm of My Show
This song channels powerful movement and attitude much like the tango. It’s versatile in that it can be placed in the middle of your cardio section as well as leading into or out of it. The tone and lyrics fit well with other songs dedicated to self-confidence.
-
Give Meaning to the Movement | Give You Love
This one is pretty easy AND difficult and should feel good in the body and your heart. Make sure you have something in your "love reserves" and if you do, SHARE IT with someone during this song or after class. Look around the room. Make eye contact. Reach for them. Make it weird for a second.
-
Give Meaning to the Movement | Just Playin
We’re kicking off class with playful movement. It’s fun and light with a smidgeon of hip hop “vibez”. Silly, weird, funky, quirky...all in playful abundance. We do our best work when we're just playing!

Give Meaning to the Movement | Who We Love
A heartfelt celebration of love in all forms, regardless of who, how, and when we love and whether the love is current or in the past. It is an ode to trusting our hearts and allowing them to open and feel love. Even when love is lost, in time, we can celebrate that for a while; we felt it. What ...

GMttM | Dance The Night
Come On Barbie, Let's Go Party! This song transports us to the club where disco glamour and drama reign supreme.
