Looking for a little EXTRA fun?? In addition to ongoing weekly classes, we put together all sorts of unique workshops, masterclasses, performances and community events:
- Cardio Dance Workshops — Team-taught 90-minute sessions highlighting a specific genre of music or artists.
- “Frisky Friday” Striptease Parties — Racy choreo and complementary wine, usually held twice a month.
- Holiday Events — Bonus workouts to keep you sweating even on a day off (sometimes with themed seasonal music!), plus bigger soirees like our “Frisky for the Holidays” striptease extravaganza and end-of-year Champagne & Chasses ballet gala.
- Naughty & Spice — This eclectic variety show will feature a mix of sassy student routines, professional burlesque performers and only the cheekiest holiday cheer.
- Philadelphia Dance Day — An annual nonprofit community festival featuring dozens of free workshops followed by a $10 evening gala with more lessons and a 2-hour showcase.
- Taste of Philly Dance Fitness — A “sampling” of more than 8 of our programs in a jam-packed, 2.5 hour mega-workshop, usually offered toward the beginning of every calendar year.
- Ballroom Romance — An annual collaboration with sister company Ballroom Bliss, pairing partner dance basics with champagne and desserts.
- Cardio Pop Countdown — Our pre-New Year’s Eve tradition: dancing through the hottest songs from the past year, with music trivia & prizes along the way.
- Performances — Bi-annual “Take It Off Broadway” burlesque variety shows, BurlesqueU Solo shows, and more! Performing requires committing to a 4-5 week rehearsal series, which are typically announced about two months before show dates.
- World Rhythms — A multi-cultural celebration of dance featuring Philly Dance Fitness student groups performing routines in African, Bollywood, Belly Dance, and more! Includes solos from our team of amazing instructors and other surprises! This is a family-friendly show, and audience members of all ages are welcome.
Because special events require extra coordination and preparation, they are generally not included in class packages or Memberships and have different cancellation policies. Pricing ranges from $15-35 for workshops or shows, to $40-70 for multi-week performance series. Find specifics within the registration details of any upcoming events.
