Dance Fitness 

Part of our new Dance Wellness Series!

Taking place in The REACH

Try on different styles of dance while beating the winter blues in these fitness-focused classes held the first Saturday of the month, November 2019 through March 2020. Each class will be offered in collaboration with a local dance fitness professional or organization. All experience levels welcome and celebrated.

Feb.1: Gaga/People (Studio J)

Gaga/people classes offer a framework for users to connect to their bodies and imaginations, experience physical sensations, improve their flexibility and stamina, exercise their agility and explosive power, and enjoy the pleasure of movement in a welcoming, accepting atmosphere. Throughout the class, participants are guided by a series of evocative instructions deployed to increase awareness of and further amplify sensation. Rather than turning from one prompt to another, information is layered, building into a multisensory, physically challenging experience. Inside this shared research, the improvisational nature of the exploration enables each participant’s deeply personal connection with Gaga.

Mar. 7: Zumba® (Studio F)

Description: Zumba® is dance-based cardio workout set to a fusion of Latin and International rhythms. Move your body to salsa, merengue, samba, flamenco, reggaeton, and much more! Modifications are encouraged and all fitness levels are welcome. Each Zumba® class is designed to bring people together to sweat and smile!
