Our choreography is simple, repetitive and easy to follow which means you can naturally increase your level of intensity during your workout. You can focus on getting lost in the music rather than having to follow complicated dance steps. After an invigorating dance/cardio workout, take this class to the next level with a Core-busting session for the final 15 minutes. Take your fitness to a new level!
