Class Descriptions

Hip Hop/Break Dance

This beginner level class is a street dance style teaching moves often seen on the streets of NYC or on MTV.  Danced to pop, funk or hip hop music and often remixed to prolong the breaks, breaking is a well-known hip hop dance style. Breaking involves Toprock (movement while standing up), Downrock (movement on the ground), Freezes (acrobatic pauses in movement) and Power Moves (sounds like a video game, huh?)  Try it out!  You're not going to "break" yourself!  Wear comfortable clothes and clean sneakers.

Tap 

Do you dream of dancing like Cyd Charisse, Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly?  Or maybe it's Shirley Temple??? Either way, you CAN learn- at ANY AGE!  Our Adult Tap class is offered in a stress free environment!  It's so much fun!  Tap is a rhythmic, energetic dance style.  This class will have you shuffle ball changing around the house in no time!  You might just grow curly red hair and take 30 years off of your life!  ..and don't worry, this class is just for FUN!  We won't make you go on stage and perform, unless you REALLY want to!

Contemporary Dance & Stretch

An introduction to the contemporary form of dance which emphasizes a combination of Ballet- the foundation for all dance styles, incorporating strength, coordination, and grace, and Jazz- a dynamic style of dance emphasizing movement combinations, strengthening and stretching, performed to express the lyrics of the song.  Our goal is to teach the basics of dance technique allowing dancers to learn varied styles and choreography in a relaxed atmosphere.

Dance Fit

Packed with Pop Dance Music, this class starts with a high energy, easy to follow “dancers” warm up.  We swiftly move into the basics of hip hop and jazz dance steps combined with resistance work that is designed to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat.  But really, you’re not thinking about that because you’re having an absolute blast in listening to great music and dancing to the beat that gets your heart-racing, muscle-pumping, body-energizing, and YOU having fun!  The music doesn’t stop until the hour is up!  You should really try it... don’t be shy!  Anyone can follow along with this class!

 

YogaFit

Yoga Fit …it's where fitness and FUN meet!  If you are looking to build a strong, limber and healthy body, then this is the class for you! Our Yoga Fit class will improve your coordination and posture, concentration, and focus, all in a fun environment. It's Yoga without all the weird stuff! Everyone of any age can be successful in YOGA!

Zumba Fitness  

Zumba fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy to follow moves to create a dynamic workout system that will blow you away.  Our goal is simple: We want you to want to work out, to love working out, to get hooked. Zumba Fanatics achieve long term benefits while experiencing an absolute blast in one exhilarating hour of caloric-burning, heart-racing, muscle-pumping, body-energizing, awe-inspiring movements meant to engage and captivate for life!

The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat. Add some Latin flavor and international zest into the mix and you've got ZUMBA!
 

Fanatical Fitness *New Class!

Do you buy exercise videos and intend on using them, but just don't get around to it? Dance classes not quite what you're looking for??  Want to make sure it's worth your time and you'll get results???    ... Then this class is just right for you!

It's so much easier to work with a live instructor and you won't need to invest in any expensive exercise equipment!  We are offering a great new class this summer called Fanatical Fitness.  This class is an "Insanity" like workout consisting of a mix of intense cardio with brief rests mixed with interval circuit training designed to trim fat, increase muscle tone and improve endurance.  Classes will be taught/lead by Rich and SueAnn Webb.  Rich is a Physical Readiness Coordinator for his police department and SueAnn is a Yoga Fit Instructor who already teaches here at Dance Fusion.  The class is geared toward both sexes and will be adjusted to the average fitness level of the class. All moves can be completed in a small area with no equipment and require limited coordination.  Classes will consist of a warm up, followed by stretching, then the workout and ending with a cool down stretch.  This is a great workout for both men and women!

Strength & Conditioning Fitness *New Class!

Personal training in a semi-private setting!  Weight training can help you tone your muscles, improve your appearance and fight age-related muscle loss. This class isn't designed to help you bulk up. On the contrary, it is designed to slim down tone and firm your muscles. Strength training uses weights for resistance. Weight training challenges your muscles by providing a stress to the muscle that causes it to adapt and get stronger, similar to the way aerobic conditioning strengthens your heart. This class is a 1 hour workout using your own body weight as resistance along with kettlebells, dumbbells and jump ropes taught interval style.  Anyone can do this class as the weights (provided) come as light as 10 lbs. or as heavy as 25 lbs.  If you think you'll need more weight you are welcome to bring it with you. The class can be adjusted to the individual fitness level of each of the participants.  All moves can be completed in a small area with provided equipment and require limited coordination. Classes will consist of a warm up, a strength training workout, and ending with a cool down stretch.  This is a great workout for both men and women! Taught by Mike McInerney, class size will be limited based on equipment.

Salsa On 2!

We're working on running this class again this fall, but we need more interest! Please let us know if you are interested!

Salsa connects more with the rhythmic percussive elements in classic salsa music, and can therefore feel more natural to the dancer. Compared to ballroom salsa, this style is more fluid, allows for more freedom of movement and individual interpretation and lends itself to more of a "club" style.  If you want to learn salsa then this is the group for you! Come meet with other aspiring salsa dancers in a friendly no pressure environment. Instruction is given on a down to earth personal level and makes sure everyone gets the attention that they need. If you've never danced Salsa before, now is your chance to learn! You can sign up with a partner or as a single.  Oh yeah, and it counts as exercise too!

 


*** These classes do not perform on stage in any of our shows. If you are interested in performing, we can arrange private lessons for work on a performance piece. ***

Questions or concerns?  Please don't hesitate to call or email!
