Ballroom Fitness
This dance class teaches fitness the old fashioned way – through traditional styles of ballroom dance! Participants will learn traditional steps like the Jitterbug, Cha Cha, Turkey Trot, Paso Doble, and Waltz. The steps will then be made into simple, enjoyable choreography to their favorite hits from back in the day (like Glen Miller, Dean Martin, and Elvis). This is primarily a standing dance class for participants with good mobility and balance.
