About this studio
House of Hips is a world dance studio on Clinton Street in the Kaisertown area of Buffalo, NY. The studio specialises in dance styles you won't find at a traditional dance studio: belly dance, heels, dancehall, twerk, Bollywood, cheer, capoeira, and sword dance. They're built on a philosophy that everyone can dance, and they focus on helping people who think they "can't dance" discover the physical and mental health benefits of learning movement.
Classes run at all levels. You can join beginner classes, intermediate or advanced sessions, or take choreography classes. The studio offers both weekly recurring sessions and single-day workshops, so there's flexibility whether you want steady progress or to drop in for a one-off experience.
The studio also hosts Zuut, a belly dance troupe based in Buffalo. Beyond regular classes, House of Hips runs parties and offers the space for rentals. The approach throughout is practical and inclusive: the studio emphasises that dance brings exercise for your muscles and mind, provides release from everyday stress and anxiety, and lets you express yourself in a healthy way.
