Why the name “Cadance”
Cadance is intentionally dance-forward by name — and it also draws from the idea of cadence: rhythm, flow, and coordinated movement.
In dance class, cadence isn’t abstract. It’s the difference between momentum and interruption. It’s what keeps class moving.
Cadence in music
In music, a cadence marks the end of a phrase and creates a sense of resolution. Dancers feel those phrases. Teachers cue them. Cadance is built to help you control that musical structure with tempo changes, looping, and precise starts.
Cadence in movement
Cadence can also mean the pace of repeated movement — steps per minute, repetitions per minute, the steady rhythm you train. That’s directly aligned with dance technique and conditioning.
Cadence in language
In speech, cadence is the rhythm that makes words land clearly. A good class has the same kind of clarity: clean starts, consistent pacing, and predictable flow.
