What is SHiNE Dance Fitness™?

SHiNE™ is a dance fitness exercise program that is getting global recognition for its simple yet effective choreography that is sure to make you sweat with a smile on your face. The choreography is rooted in traditional jazz, ballet and hip-hop and is designed for all dance abilities. We start class with our signature SHiNE warm-up and then increase intensity as the class progresses.

This high energy, booty shakin' class will give you a full body workout while dancing to the best pop and hip-hop music out there.The SHiNE dance floor is open to EVERY BODY. No dance experience necessary…. come as you are! www.shinedancefitness.com

What is UPLIFT™?

A 1-hour UPLIFT class starts with a cardio warm-up and transitions to standing routines with equipment, alternating between upper and lower body. A balance track is included after you’ve fatigued your muscles which is challenging, rewarding, and a welcome change of pace before transitioning to the mat.

We complete the workout with routines for the core, booty, abs, and chest and a cool down with deep stretching. This UPLIFTING experience leaves you feeling strong and confident.
