If your idea of a workout includes a killer playlist and lots of dancing (and sweat), try dance fitness. DanceBody is a popular dance studio based in NYC, but it has been bringing classes online through its virtual hub DanceBody Live.

Like every fitness entrepreneur, these have been challenging times for DanceBody founder Katia Pryce. Her beloved dance-inspired cardio and sculpting workout is in the Hamptons again this summer for the seventh year in a row. Pryce talked to the Daily about what to expect from her outdoor classes at The Clubhouse and how social media and her community have been a savior.

Katia Pryce offers advice on working out from home, recipes for success and her fitness philosophy...

Katia Pryce began 2020 with the urge to make things a bit more digitally savvy. She had no way of knowing that within a few weeks online workouts would become the key to survival for any boutique fitness business — but was one of the earliest pivoters into the world of at-home workouts at the start of the pandemic, making things that much more ready to succeed in this landscape.

This year, everything’s a bit different due to the coronavirus pandemic, but you can still get in a good cardio and sculpt workout in The Hamptons with DanceBody's outdoor classes in East Hampton.

Kids of all ages will love DanceBody Kids, getting strong and dancing alongside another mom and her two little ladies.

We caught up with Katia Pryce, the founder and CEO of DanceBody, to learn about the dance-inspired classes - which counts Molly Sims as a fan, summer in the Hamptons, and more.

Unlike your usual planks and sit-ups, this core workout is actually fun—so much so, that the 15 minutes will fly by (and Pryce’s soundtrack certainly helps).

Dance workouts are a great option if traditional exercise is not your jam, and DanceBody features fun classes that will have you sweating.

Dancing always makes working out more fun, and if you’re craving company, DanceBody offers multiple LIVE classes daily as well as a collection of On Demand workouts.

Although DanceBody has a full livestreaming platform with daily live classes and on-demand workouts available, they are also doing free daily workouts on Instagram. I personally do the workout every day at 12pm and it's the perfect midday break from all the sitting and typing I do these days.
