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. 

New York Style Salsa (On2) * We'd like to offer this class again!  Email Me if you are interested!

This Salsa class connects more with the rhythmic percussive elements in classic salsa music, and feels 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. Lessons are taught by Nelson Gomez.  He gives instruction 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!
