Dance Fitness
Fun & fitness go hand in hand – and what’s more fun than dancing, hula hoops, latin music, hip scarves, and a little martial arts? Put it all together and you get an exercise class, without even realizing your working your entire body. Our Dance Fitness classes bring you back to the feeling that exercise is enjoyable AND can burn between 400 and 600 calories per hour – plus it’s low impact on your joints! Take your pick at one (two, three or four!) of our great dance-inspired fitness classes and get ready for your fun workout. Bring a friend, bring your energy, and bring your water bottles!
You can register for the full session, or you are welcome to purchase a Drop-In Pass and join the class by drop-ins when you are able. These classes fill up with dedicated students fast, so in many instances drop-in options may not be possible – check with the office about class sizes if you intend to participate through Drop In Passes to be sure you can join in the fun. For more information on how to get your Drop-In Pass and the costs please see our Pricing and Policies page.
Note:
If at any time the instructor suggests an exercise that doesn’t work well with your own body, please feel free to speak up and he/she will work with you to find an alternative exercise that is good for you. You’re encouraged to take the class at your own pace and progress through the exercises when you feel ready to do so – increasing the difficulty because the rest of the class can is not the best way to get your own self in shape. This is your time – so enjoy it!

Okay people! Enough playing around. It's time to keep that summer body in shape! So far it's all been fun and games, hasn't it? Well now we're going to get serious. This is going to be a hard class. You are going to work. You are going to find muscles you didn't know you had. You're going to hate those muscles for a while. You're going to hate Wendy for a while. This class is designed to increase your stamina, strength, and flexibility. Look at those three words, don't you need more of all of them? We're going to move, stretch and push - for the entire hour. We'll start from where you are right now, and if you've already taken class with Wendy, take comfort from the fact that she already knows where that is. There will be a lot of movement. No high impact aerobics, but simple travelling combinations, a lot of floor work, a lot of stretching. At the end of the term you will be stronger. Absolutely. That's always a good thing. This class is being offered this summer as a 5 week class
Class Length: Varies each term. Typically 60 minutes weekly. Skill Level: Multi-Level. Beginners through advanced welcome. Please Wear: Comfortable exercise attire - removable layers encouraged. Footwear at your discretion. Please Bring: Water, and lots of it, and an exercise mat.
ShimmyFIT
Bellydance Fitness: Forget the Gym & Bring on the Shimmies! Previously "Hip-Aerobics"Bellydance Fitness is low impact & high results with much laughter and fun. You'll start the class with a cardio warm up and some light stretching, then jump into a bellydance-inspired workout where you'll use the basic movements of bellydance to get that heart rate going, tone your muscles, and be a "whole-lot-a-woman". You'll learn traveling movements, shimmies, hip accents, snake arms and all the signature movements of this ever-evolving ancient dance form. Ending the class with some relaxing breathing exercises, some deep stretching and some yoga-inspired movement you'll leave the class feeling refreshed (and quite sweaty!) *Please note this class will start on January 23.
Class Length: Varies each term. Typically 60 minutes weekly. Skill Level: Multi-Level. Beginners through advanced welcome. Please Wear: Yoga/exercise pants and a fitted top. Hip Scarfs, Coin Belts, Shawls, etc. are permitted. No footwear. Please Bring: A water bottle is advised.
