STEP IT OUT Rhythm & Sweat
with April Power

This 6 week Rhythm and Sweat series provides a foundation in dance movement with no dance experience necessary.  Each week April Power will introduce you to new elements in dance technique and musicality in a sweat dripping format. 

Week 1: Find Your Rhythm
Introduction to various dance patterns, rhythmic sequences and styles. Release inhibitions as you move and sweat to a funky beat as you experiment in finding the groove within you!

Week 2:  Booty Band Beats
Dance movement is enhanced by improvement in strength, mobility, cardiovascular endurance, and muscular endurance. Introduction to booty bands that provide sweat dripping resistance for a stronger core, hips, and glutes.

Week 3: Upper Body Isolations
Learn techniques in body isolations, awareness, and wave movements for the ultimate ‘mind-body connection! Feel confident as you learn to control the way you imagine your body to move.

Week 4: Lower Body in Motion
From footwork patterns to a hip-shakin' celebration of movement, this week combines high-energy music paired with a variety of engaging lower-body moves that tighten the core while feeling the burn in the hips, butt, and thighs.

Week 5: Combinations and Rhythms
Whether you are drawn to the slower and more controlled movement of ballet or fast moves, quick transitions, and lively musical rhythms found in jazz, hip hop, and African dance, you will experience it all!

Week 6: Step it Out. You’ve Got This!
Feel the music to move the soul and set your body in motion. Just dance, sweat, and have some fun. Play out your skills and dance like no one is watching!
