Adult Classes

 

Ballroom

We plan an exciting dance agenda for every session. Get in the Latin mood with the latest steps and stylings in Mambo, Salsa, Merengue, Samba, Rhumba, and of course Cha Cha. Great easy dances that you can do anywhere, and don't forget we always do Swing. Beginners to advanced dancers welcome, as well as singles and couples.

 

Body-Sculpting

Body Sculpting is a class that does just that: shaping, firming, and sculpting the body without the risk of injury that can be caused by aerobics or weight training. The class consists of stretching at the beginning, which increases range of motion so the exercises may be performed to their fullest potential. The exercise portion of the class works with your own bodies' resistance and gravity. The hip, thigh, and stomach areas are a concentrated portion of the class. Stretching at the end of class helps avoid sore muscles. Our goal is to bring out the natural shapeliness of muscles that everyone has the potential to obtain.
