This urban-flavored, dance fitness class is tons of fun and easy to do at your own level (options given to tone it down or kick it up). By adding style, nuance, and bigger movements once the basic movements become easier, you’ll feel the intensity and the calories take off. The choreography is fun, easy to follow, and set to heart-pumping world beats like Hip-Hop, Reggaeton, Afro Beats, K-Pop, and much more. New routines rotate in over time, but old favorites stick around too. No need to know how to dance, this is for everyone! I cue verbally and visually; you just follow along. Come jam with us and you’ll be amazed how fast an hour can fly by! Please bring water and towel
