Beyond “a little scary,” your world begins to grow.
It’s perfectly normal to feel uneasy about stepping out of your comfort zone.
But taking that first step— “I’m a little scared, but I’ll give it a try”—can become a powerful opportunity to transform yourself.
This time, ICC invites you to take that step with our Dance Challenge Event!
You’ll enjoy an inspiring talk about the charm of dance from professional instructor “Gome,” who teaches HIPHOP, POP, LOCK, K-POP, and more, followed by the chance to experience the joy of dancing firsthand by moving your body.
Beginners are more than welcome! Our instructor will guide you step by step, so you can feel at ease and have a great time!”
Another highlight? The meaningful connections with others that you’ll build through dance.
You’ll meet new people, share the experience, and grow together with others taking on the same challenge.
If you’re unsure, bring that feeling with you—and take the first step with others.
Don’t miss this chance to move to the rhythm and discover a whole new side of yourself.
We’re here to cheer on your “I want to try!” with all our heart.
