Class Descriptions

Our boutique dance & fitness studio offers a variety of FUN fitness classes for adults.  We believe that the key to fitting more activity in your life is rediscovering that joy of movement!

Check out our variety of classes. We recommend 4 classes a week for feeling great! Think through your week ahead and decide what your body & mind needs this week. It might change week to week and that is not only OK, but it is encouraged.  A great place to start is with 2 High Impact (more cardio) classes, 1 Low Impact (more toning), and 1 Recovery (stretching) class.  This is a great formula for meeting MOST goals.

Balance out your classes with how you are feeling, and don't forget the recovery step - it is important ;)

HIGH IMPACT*
These classes are a great way to get your heart rate up and bust through some stress with a really good dose of sweat therapy
