SUNDAY MAY 1ST
5:00pm
with MAKEDA
In this class we will be learning and exploring various dance movements from the Caribbean. All of the dances incorporate the entire body but are centered around the hips so there will be much focus on polyrhythmic movement. We will be moving the hips, the shoulders, the foot, the arms, the chest all at once. Many of the dances include explosive moves and will certainly work up a serious sweat while strengthening all of the muscles in your body, including your heart.
only $18.00
Can use your 5-10 class package and your unlimited class packages!
