Dance fitness classes can be fun for everyone regardless of your age. With a little bit of practice, you can brush up on your moves and sweat your way into your skinny jeans. Over time, the world of dance fitness has grown and evolved into a worldwide phenomenon. While there are several types of fitness workout classes, the following information explains a few of the most popular dance inspired workouts.

Zumba

Since Zumba entered the workout dance floor in 2001, nothing has been the same. Today, Zumba has quickly become the most popular dance classes culminating with people throwing "fitness parties." Zumba effectively combines dances moves from African dance, Latin, and Creole to deliver an exhilarating workout. Best of all, Zumba classes allow you to get your groove on to the top 40 tunes in a loose, fun, and laughter-filled dance group. While you may see Zumba class signs everywhere, you should make sure your instructor is Zumba certified. When you use trained instructors, they will ensure you are burning the most calories while you dance your way to success.

Salsa

If you’re ready for some Latin flavor, you can move your hips into better shape with Salsa. By implementing the gyrating movement of your hips into salsa dancing, you will naturally work out your legs. In addition, salsa classes are extremely social, which means your new friends will ensure you wont miss a beat or a class.

Belly Dance

This low impact dance workout allows you to work your pelvis, hips, and core. As a result, you will greatly increase your flexibility and tone those deep underlying muscles. Since belly dancing is low impact, it is an excellent option for people who have joint problems. Belly dancing has Spanish, Egyptian, Moroccan, and Russian roots and cultural ties. In most belly dancing classes, you’ll wind your waist to traditional music, tambourines, and scarves.

Hip-Hop

Imagine being in the club dancing and shaking your hips to the thumping beat of the room. Now take that exact scenario and imagine it under the guidance of a fitness instructor. Hip-hip dance classes are bolstered by fast-paced routines and an amazing time learning some of the hottest dance or club moves.

As one of the best ways to get in shape and have fun, dance fitness classes at Downtown Athletic Club are the premier way to dance your way into fitness. At the DAC in Amarillo, you can get to stepping in dance in our Zumba class. Members get in free and non-members pay just $5 per class.
