305 Fitness® is a dance cardio workout with club vibes and resistance training that invites everyone to express themselves, free of judgement! Our high energy, diverse instructors are the ultimate party-starters. You get full-body results: Wearables in classes show 700+ calories burned in 45 minutes! Our party lights create a fun environment where people can shed their shame! Our powerful message of body-inclusivity is all about self-acceptance and celebration!
Power Soca is pure and freeing Caribbean dance moves featuring the greatest fete tunes! You will be lead by our instructors through a series of moves, beginning with a physical warm up, leading into a carnival dance routine, and ending with a cypher similar to that of "being on the road to carnival". Participants are encouraged to bring a rag or flag representing one of the Caribbean nations (flags will also be provided). Be ready to cut loose, jump in and dance, no equipment necessary!
Dance Around the World encompasses dance, play, and cultural exploration. Students learn the rich histories behind styles of dance from the African diaspora in addition to understanding how to personalize different forms of movement to process emotions constructively. Dance styles include Hip-Hop, Afrobeats, Street Jazz, Traditional West African, Cuban Salsa, and Soca/ Dancehall.
