What if I have "two left feet" or no dance experience?
You are in the right place! Our class is built around simple, repeatable patterns rather than complex dance steps. There are no mistakes—only spontaneous solos!
Is Dance Cardio high-impact on joints?
Instructors offer low-impact modifications for all movements (like taking out jumps or hops) so you can keep your heart rate up while protecting your knees and ankles.
