Falling into Fitness
Group-Fit
As we transition from summer to fall, the Dance Centre has made a few schedule adjustments to accommodate new classes and we've added some surprises!
The Summer Fit Challenges went SO well that we extended them into the Fall with the last challenge of the year ending October 12th. But because our morning classes (6am Group-Fit) have become requested, we will continue offering the 6am as a Group-Fit apart from a challenge!!
Since 1982, the Dance Centre Academy of Adult Dance & Fitness has provided an outlet for adults who want to begin or continue dance and/or fitness in a private studio setting. The only specialty studio of its' kind in the B/CS area!! The Dance Centre is not a “gym” where you will have class distractions and interruptions. Getting fit doesn’t have to be about “boot camps” and hard-core fitness programs. Our program offers high intensity - but in a safe "age appropriate" level that boot camps & some personal trainers do not!
Are you looking to shed a few pounds, increase your energy level or simply start living a healthier lifestyle?
The Dance Centre Group Fitness class (Tues & Fri 6am) is for beginner and intermediate exercisers. Two weekly training sessions will include High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) & strength/balance exercises tailored to meet each individual's fitness level. These sessions are designed to target 6 areas of personal fitness: body composition cardiovascular & muscular endurance, muscular strength, balance and flexibility.
This class may include walking, jogging, hand weights, therabands, fitness balls, kick boxing, agility exercises, pilates exercises, & cardiovascular exercises to get the heart rates up. These classes are designed to give you a maximum workout but without pushing you to the point of making you sick like some trainers do! We encourage - we don't push!!
Please give it a try and you will witness the results of having more energy throughout your day and you will look forward to going to workout!
YOGA
Namaste!!! Yoga continues to be well attended class at the Dance Centre with leading instructors that have experience, professionalism, knowledge & certification.
We offer Yoga Monday 630pm; Tuesday 930am; Wednesday 630pm; Thursday 930am; & Saturday 9am.
The saturday class is a Prenatal safe class - or a gentle yoga class for the mainstream yogi's looking for a slower pace, less intense workout.
We began teaching Yoga Baby - a class designed for new mom's with pre-crawling babies - the class meets Saturdays 745am - the instructor, Shelley, is a practicing labor & delivery nurse with loads of background in this area - she is also currently an instructor in the nursing classes at Texas A&M University.
