Welcome to Rhythm Rebel.
I’m Dana Hood, and I don’t just teach dance—I create experiences that awaken, empower, and set you free. Movement has been my rebellion, my revolution, my way back home to myself.
And I know it can be yours too.
Dance isn’t about getting it “right.” It’s about feeling everything.
It’s about power, play, expression, and release.
It’s about stepping onto the floor, barefoot and unapologetic, and remembering what it feels like to move like you mean it.
If you’ve ever craved a space where movement isn’t about perfection—but about liberation—you’re in the right place!
Rhythm Rebel: Motion Unleashed is a call to drop into your body, break the rules, and dance like you’ve got nothing to prove.
Your next great movement experience starts here!
Reconnect with your body
and unlock the powerful freedom
of being unapologetically YOU.
Kick off your shoes
and leave your inhibitions
at the door!
Rhythm Rebel: Motion Unleashed
Drop In. Break Free. Own Your Power.
Ready to move your way? This isn’t just a dance class. It’s a movement. A rebellion against rigid workouts, dogmatic dance arts, and fitness classes that tell you to fit into their mold. Not here. Not us.
At Rhythm Rebel, we blend inspired barefoot dance styles with practices that cultivate grounded strength, expressive power, and soul-shaking freedom.
THE RESULT? A dynamic, mind-body-heart experience that’s as powerful as it is liberating.
THE MUSIC? Everything from world beats to infectious pop, jazzy grooves to electronic vibes.
THE MOVES? Playful, powerful, fluid, and free: designed to feel damn good in your body.
THE EXPERIENCE? Personalized choreography fused with unstructured, unrestricted movement. Emotional connection. Inner awareness. Vocal release.
THE VIBE? A fiercely supportive community that will hype you up and hold you high.
The Rhythm Rebel Cycle:
INVOKE: Infuse breath and energy into intention. Illuminate your why. Walk in its glow.
DROP-IN: Sink into sensation. Breathe. Feel. Let the body lead.
AWAKEN: Magnify motion. Fill the space. Play. Laugh. Connect.
UNLEASH: Be bold. Move beyond limits. Reclaim personal power. Liberate.
RELEASE: Surrender to gravity. Roll. Reach. Relinquish.
RISE AND RADIATE: Effortless elevation. Rooted and reaching. Radiate the rhythm.
All levels welcome. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or stepping onto the floor for the first time, this space is yours to own. Bring your beautiful self, your curiosity, and your fearless willingness to play, express, and break boundaries. Embrace the beat. Challenge the ordinary. Awaken your heart. And dance your unique, unstoppable rhythm!

COMMUNITY LOVE
“Dana is a masterful teacher whose energy and generosity pulls everyone into the joy of movement and builds a supportive community within the class. Not only have I been her student for several years, I have had the pleasure of co-creating workshops with her that combine Dance and the Feldenkrais Method®. Dana is so easy to work with, utterly professional and creative in her approach to the blending of these two modalities. It is pure pleasure when we work together. This year we took our collaboration a step further when she included me as a teacher for the retreat she organizes annually in Mexico. The retreat combines Dance, Breathwork, Meditation and now Feldenkrais®. This beautiful woman plans and executes a retreat in which every detail is considered and the comfort, learning and pleasure of each participant is first and foremost. I look forward to growing our collaboration in the future!” -Christy Cutler, Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner®
“I have been dancing with Dana the last four years and have loved every inspiring moment with her. Her positive energy and spirit is empowering and unconditional. She instructs and facilitates movement with such grace and passion. Discovering and learning
dance from Dana has been transformational for me. Her classes give me a new confidence with my body and how I move and live my life with freedom and joy.” -Jane M
“Dana Hood is such a vibrant and loving teacher! She guides with her voice and her body so it is easy to follow the choreography and the intention behind those movements. She leads her classes with such spirit and grace I find myself in movement meditation. I am in awe of Dana’s ability to increase the energy of the room! Her classes are FUN and so inspiring… always filling me up with good vibrations! I have found so much strength and personal power in my dance practice, because of incredible movement teachers like Dana. She will get me moving in ways I might never have moved… using muscles I didn’t know I had! Dana’s classes make me sweat, smile, and leave me feeling sexy!” -Jackie Rose Wuest
