YES, we love newbies! Our classes are designed for you to experience a dance-inspired workout with no prior dance experience. Most of our clients are self-proclaimed “non-dancers,” proving you don’t have to be a dancer to look like one.
On a fitness level, these classes are very similar. Both include 45 minutes of high and low impact dance cardio.
Our Signature class is the one that started it all! It includes our set quarterly dances, so coming in with a little coordination will help; however, we have newbies attend this class every day! Our Full Out class is a step up from Signature. You’ll recognize the Signature movements and music, but the choreography includes more advanced dance-inspired movements. We suggest taking Signature classes before diving into Full Out.
