Dance

Feel the rhythm and enjoy the beat.

Dancing is an excellent way to get moving, get your heart pumping, and have some fun. Check our dance offerings: Zumba, Doonya, and Hip-Hop Dance.

Zumba
Zumba is a dynamic and exciting fitness program based on Latin and international music and dance steps. It’s fun, easy to learn, and a great workout without feeling like one. With Zumba, the fun comes first and the physical benefits naturally follow. The routines feature aerobic interval training with a combination of fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body. It targets the glutes, legs, arms, abdominals, and the most important muscle in the body, the heart! It is a mixture of body-sculpting movements and easy-to-follow dance steps. No previous dance experience is needed to have fun with Zumba. All fitness levels are welcome.

Doonya
Doonya is a Bollywood-inspired workout. Follow along to cardio and conditioning intervals of varying intensity, activating major muscle groups like the abs, arms, and legs. The energy and expressions of Bollywood-inspired music and dance will keep you smiling as you burn up to 800 calories, all while learning dance and fitness fundamentals. By using your own resistance and muscle control, you’ll leave with a stronger core, lengthened limbs, and increased stamina to keep you invigorated for the rest of your day. Doonya is your happy workout.

*Doonya is an AAFA and ACE-accredited program.

Belly Dance Cardio
This class fuses traditional belly dance techniques with elements of dance fitness to give students a core-focused cardio workout that is so much fun! All levels are welcome, no experience with belly dance (or any kind of dance for that matter) is required.

Maddie’s classes are sassy, classy and a little bad-assy. She brings her incredibly high energy to every session to make working out the most enjoyable experience it can be. You will walk away with an extra boost of confidence and a smile on your face.

Her class will kick your booty in a safe way that works for your skill level and pushes you to unlock a stronger version of yourself. She believes time is our only nonrenewable resource and if you trust her with yours, she will make it worth your while.

Maddie was a competitive dancer for 15 years and was eager to find a new way to keep moving her body when she entered college. She started taking Barre and Dance fitness classes at the university sports facility which she loved. Eventually, she also found her inner power lifting heavy things in a strength-based class. She went through instructor training her sophomore fall and has been instructing ever since!

She has always considered movement to be her medicine, and fitness taught her how to express herself, grow her work ethic and build confidence. Group exercise in particular led her to both personal growth and a built-in support system. As an instructor, her goal is to create a community where participants can see their individual rewards and also have fun and make new friends.
