Is Dance to HIIT a Good Workout?  

Dance is a great cardio workout offering benefits such as: 

• HIIT Training Benefits. HIIT training has some of the quickest fitness results of all training styles. The built-in recovery allows athletes to attack repeated work segments with the same or higher intensity each time. This leads to increased fat burning and lowers insulin resistance. 

• Cardiovascular Benefits. Because your heart rate remains elevated even during the recovery aspects of HIIT training, participants’ hearts get a workout! This leads to a lower resting heart rate and higher VO2 max. 

• Memory. Learning new dance moves and movement patterns and combinations helps with neuroplasticity, or the formation of new neural pathways or connections in the brain. The more we practice, the quicker our brains learn and can process new information. 

How Difficult is Dance to HIIT? 

6/10. In this class that’s dynamic from start to finish, people of ALL levels of fitness will increase stamina, endurance—you might even come away with some new dance moves! Heavy HIIT-ers, show off those burpees! Dancers, show us how to shake that thing! Everyone can level up their skills Dance to HIIT! 

How Long Is Dance to HIIT? 

Dance to HIIT is 30-minutes of dynamic super-charged fun dance moves plus HIIT and core training for real results.  

What Should I Wear to Dance to HIIT? 

Come ready to play. Typically, people wear sweat wicking clothing that will offer ample coverage and will stay put and allow you to move with ease throughout the range of motion of exercises.  

Cross Trainers, Dance or Walking Gym Shoes. Comfortable cross-training shoes that offer support and stability as you move and dance during class. Running shoes are not optimal because they are designed for linear movement and don’t offer the lateral support needed for this class. 

What do I need to Bring? 

Hydrate my friend! Make sure you have plenty of water with you. Bring a towel to catch your glistening glow! Most importantly, bring a great attitude and smile to share.
