When I started DanceBody in 2013, I didn’t intentionally set out to create a “women-run” business. But that is what DanceBody is, proudly, 100% women-owned and run.

The DanceBody team is turning up the heat with a permanent, year-round studio in the sunshine state. With two pop up locations in Sunset Harbor (Green Monkey) and Coconut Grove (Dance House) DanceBody Miami is your new go-to dance cardio destination in Florida. 

We believe that movement is medicine, and dance workouts have a true ability to heal.

When you dance you not only get in a great workout but you also get lost in the music, motions, and energy around you. But there’s a third level to that connection– the soul.

WE’VE SURVIVED ALMOST A DECADE.

Reflecting on our journey going into 2022, I feel proud, I feel restless, I feel inspired. We’ve survived these last few trying years, as we have the years before, with all of our heart and soul. I often wonder if we made it look too easy.

Haven’t you heard that “working out” is the new “going out.” It’s undeniable that there is a certain energy that comes from being in a group fitness class. We experience this very real phenomenon every time we workout with others, especially with friends. You show up together, and you show up better. Dance workouts especially are a lot more fun and energy inducing in a group. This feeling is especially felt around one of our fave holidays: Galentine’s Day.

“We don’t do yoga, so why would we use a yoga mat?” Katia asked, before she designed and patented the best exercise mat, The DanceBody HexMat®. It’s the piece of equipment you never knew you needed that you can use for everything.

If we’re being honest with ourselves, this particular month, we’re probably not going to get to our workouts as much as we’d like. We’ll also likely have a hard time sticking to our ideal eating plan. And our sleep schedule? Yeah, we can probably forget about that too.

But that sacrifice of self is what the holidays are all about: thinking outside of ourselves and being present with friends and family. Then we jump back in, full energy, on January 1st to reprioritize, and set personal goals for the New Year. There is a certain beauty in putting yourself aside this month, and giving your time freely and openly to others.

Are you ready to take your DanceBody routine to the next level with a fun exercise class that’s both challenging and invigorating? Then our Full Out class has your name on it. Through a powerful playlist and deep understanding of how the body moves, our team of trainers come together every quarter to create dances that make fitness fun— the DanceBody way.

I cannot believe how quickly my second trimester flew by - it feels like just yesterday I was telling people that I was pregnant! Entering my second trimester, I was able to better understand the best prenatal workouts for my pregnancy and discover types of workouts to help reduce morning sickness. My second of four pregnancy fitness blogs dives into my fitness journey during the second trimester, the must-try DanceBody Prenatal Program, and the ways in which DanceBody continued to help me feel my best.
