What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing appropriate for exercise that allows freedom of movement. Most importantly, shoes should be comfortable with plenty of cushion and lateral support. We recommend a cross training, aerobic type shoe, preferably with a "circle" pivot design on the sole. Running shoes or cross trainers have too much tread to allow for lateral movement. Bare feet or sock-feet for class are not allowed due to lack of support and safety concerns
What should I bring?
A towel, water and a sense of FUN!
How many calories are burned in a one hour class?
The number of calories will vary according to individual effort, body type and other factors, but generally will average between 700-1000 calories!
Do I need prior dance experience?
No! Don't worry, you don't have to be a professional dancer. The steps are very easy to follow and once you see the basic moves for each rhythm, which repeat often, you'll catch on. When in doubt, just shake it. The routines are designed so you can get a good workout. You simply need a towel, water and a desire to have fun while exercising your way to good health. It is important to check with your doctor before beginning any new exercise program.
All moves can be modified for your safety. If you have not exercised in a long time, please see your doctor to obtain clearance to start classes. The classes can be intense, so go at your own pace and listen to your body! Take a break when you need one! You don't have to keep up with everyone else! Don't overdo it, we want you to have fun and come back!
