Equipment provided at the studio, but feel free to bring your own mat if preferred. Open to all, including beginners!

  • Mondays at 7 pm with Michelle K; starting May 18

More Zumba

Sweat and smile at this high-energy cardio dance party featuring international rhythms and easy-to-follow moves. No pattern memorization or dance experience required. Nobody’s judging if you take a wrong step – just follow the leader and prepare to sweat! Zumba celebrated its 25th anniversary this year, and instructor Luis has been teaching for almost half of that time! Join him at a new section on Thursday nights. And, of course, you can also still find Zumba on our weekly schedule on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays.

  • Thursdays at 6 pm with Luis; starting May 21
  • $14 drop in or FREE for members

 

Competition Jazz Conditioning

Sharpen your technique, athleticism and musicality in this fast paced, energetic series. Whether you’re prepping for the next competition season or just want to explore what’s involved in creating a showstopping choreo designed to score points, this is a perfect opportunity to build up your skills. Practice turns, tricks and other moves as you progress through various drills and combinations incorporating a mix of traditional jazz steps, street dance and acrobatics. At the last class, we’ll take a video of our own mini “competition routine” just for fun. 

Both teen and adult dancers are welcome to join this series. Prior experience required – participants should have a solid understanding of foot positions, barre work, turnout and arm placements, and be able to execute a single pirouette and high kicks/battements. 

  • Thursdays at 7 pm with Zach; 6 consecutive weeks from May 21-June 25

Intro to Bharatanatyam

We’re so excited to announce this beginner Indian classical dance series, developed in collaboration with Philly Dheem, a local group that celebrates South Asian classical art in all forms. Join Dheem dancers Rishika Bandamede and Rochitha Nathan to learn traditional hand gestures (hasta mudras) and foot movements, then put them together into adavus, repeated practice of foundational technique such as striking steps (Thattadavu) and rhythmic stretches. Time permitting, you may also work on connecting mudras with abhinaya (facial expressions) to create the elegant, expressive storytelling featured in Bharatanatyam. While learning the building blocks of Bharatanatyam, you’ll also piece together a short combination over the course of the series. Those who wish to perform that routine will have the opportunity to present it at the Philadelphia Dance Day showcase on July 25.

Bharatanatyam training often begins at a young age and committed dancers spend years working under experienced gurus. This series is designed to give an introduction to this beautiful art form to those who may not have had the chance to study it as a child, or who come from other cultural backgrounds.

  • Sundays from 1-2:30 pm with Rishika & Rochitha; six week series from June 7 – July 19 (skipping July 4th weekend)
  • $160 for the full series. Philly Dance Fitness members get 20% off!

Pssst: If you want  to see what Bharatanatyam is all about before committing to the series, join Rishika and Rochitha for a pop-up class on Tuesday, May 26 at 7:30 pm! Only $16 drop-in (members get an automatic discount). Register here.
