You’ve heard of Pulse Dance, Sculpt, Barre and Stretch…
But have you heard about our FUSION CLASSES!? 👀🔥

Because sometimes you want to sweat AND strengthen.
Or dance AND stretch.

So we decided… why choose?

💗 PULSE DANCE + STRETCH FUSION
Wednesdays at 9:30 AM
with Brooke

The ultimate 1-hour sweat + reset.

💃🏻 40 minutes of high-energy Pulse Dance
🧘‍♀️ 20 minutes of intentional stretching

Get your heart pumping with our signature follow-the-leader style dance class, then slow it down with a deep, feel-good stretch while your muscles are warm. Come for the sweat. Stay for the stretch. Leave feeling amazing.

💗 PULSE DANCE + STRENGTH FUSION
Sundays at 9 AM & Tuesdays at 11:30 AM
with Grace Garber

Our 45-minute powerhouse class!

💃🏻 25 minutes of high-energy Pulse Dance
🏋🏻‍♀️ 20 minutes of rhythmic strength training

Start with our signature follow-the-leader style dance class to let loose, have fun + get your heart rate up. Then grab your mat and weights and get ready to sculpt, strengthen and tone with a focus on two muscle groups each class.

The muscle-group focus will rotate each week, so you’ll hit something different, keep your body guessing and build strength along the way.

It’s the best of both worlds, high-energy dance + targeted strength training for a total-body burn in just 45 minutes!

So… which one are you trying first?
