Athleisure Mag #55 Jul 2020 | Athleisure List: STEEZY
STEEZY was founded in 2014 by Con- nor Lim & Evan Zhou initially as a blog. In 2015, STEEZY Studio launched as an online dance class subscription service offering on-demand digital dance tuto- rials for dancers of all skill levels, with the goal to make online dance classes accessible to anyone, anywhere while bringing the dance community togeth- er as a whole.
Rather than simply taking a physical dance class online, STEEZY develops technology to make learning to dance easier, so you can enjoy dancing faster. The platform utilizes custom features allowing users to see everything, re- view faster, and practice more effi- ciently. Users can easily switch views, view specific sections of a dance, loop moves, control speed, and even watch themselves dance with the “see your- self” mode. This feature allows users to see themselves on screen side by side with the instructor, by using the computer's webcam. Each class and program is thoughtful- ly designed by the most sought after choreographers including CJ Salvador (credits include Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez), J Blaze (Justin Bieber, Ush- er, Chris Brown, Robin Thicke), Kiira Harper (Beyonce, Lizzo, Drake, Janelle Monae, Trey Songz), Lyle Beniga (Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Chris- tina Aguilera), Nicole Kirkland (Prince, Iggy Azalea, Kehlani, Gwen Stefani), Ysabelle Capitule (Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber, Kehlani, Mya), and many more.
STEEZY currently offers 700+ classes with new dances added weekly in 9 different styles: Urban Dance, Break- ing/BBoy, Dancehall, Popping, Hip Hop, Whacking, House, Krump, and Heels/Jazz Funk. Upcoming new style launches include: Dance Fitness - 7/26, Intro to Heels - 8/23, LiteFeet - 9/6, K-pop Dances - 9/20 and Locking - 10/4. Videos remain on the platform perma- nently unless noted otherwise. Each STEEZY user can save classes or pro- grams within their account. iOS and Android users also have the ability to download for offline mode. STEEZY is available for $20/month or $99.99/year. First-time users can enjoy this app with a free 7-day trial.
