Cardio Dance Party

All the way from San Francisco comes the Cardio Dance Party!! This is a multi–level cardio dance class for all ages and fitness levels. From the beginner to the professional dancer, this class will get your heart pumping and bumping to some of today’s hottest songs from the radio, the movies and Broadway. Don’t miss one moment of movement as you "spin", "twirl" and "shake what yo’ Mama’ gave you"! We start with a quick warm–up and then we groove with cha–cha, mambo, box–steps and more. Class is ALWAYS ended with the signature "DREAMGHURLZ" cool down. TRUST!!...You’ll LOVE IT!
