CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

HIP HOP - This class is where you learn the latest up beat dance steps to cutting edge music. Offered in beginning, intermediate and advanced. 
HOUSE - is a style of dance that is primarily danced to house music which arose in the early 1980's in clubs  such as the Wharehouse in Chicago and the Loft and Paradise Garage in New York City. House dance is broken down into three major styles, Jacking, Lofting, and Footwork. House dance takes from many different dance elements such as the Lindy era, African, Latin, Brazilian, Jazz, Tap, and even Modern.
DIRTY "FUNKIN" DANCING - This class is a blend of exotic, erotic and very sexy moves combining funk and jazz. Ladies this class will put you in touch with your sensual and erotic selves. 18YEAR OLDS AND OVER. This is not a class for the underage!!!

CARDIO LATIN GROOVE- a dance fitness class that includes arm and leg work combined with cardio latin dance that will make you sweat and will get your heart racing to the movements and the music.
ZUMBA - fuses hypnotic latin rhythms and easy to follow moves to create a dynamic fitness program that will blow you away. The routines feature intermittent training sessions where fast and slow rhythms and resistence training are combined to tone and sclupt your body while burning fat.

PILATES - This class is based on Joseph Pilate's exclusive exercises with alot of stretching at the end. The main focus is not only to tone your core or center of your body, but also stretch those muscles to carry you through your daily activities. We also offer Pre & Post Natal Pilates upon request. Stay in shape while you are pregnant to shorten your "recovery" period after childbirth. If you are pregnant, please consult with your physician before taking the class. This class is also great for seniors because it is a gentle workout.
