It's time to work it!  Class starts off with a full body stretch and warm up.  Then we break down the moves step-by-step, as you go, so you can learn them, repeat them until you are comfortable, then put a sequence together, then bust out a full routine to songs you love. You will be completely amazed at how good you do and how great you feel!
