Benefits of Dance…
Dancing gives you all the benefits of cardio vascular exercise, including:
- Promotes physical health;
- Promotes mental health benefits;
- Improves sense of well being;
- Improves self-esteem; and
- Improves general positiveness that comes with regular enjoyable and fun exercise.
… As well as:
- Strong bones – The side-to-side movements of many dance steps strengthen your weight bearing bones (tibia, fibula and femur) and can help prevent or
Love-it-Latin!
This is a ‘Zumba’ style aerobics workout set to a fabulous fusion of street Latin and ballroom Latin dance styles. Mixing mambo, cha cha and salsa moves (to name a few), you will be kept on your toes and you will never be bored by the dance routines.
You don’t need a partner; come on your own or with friends. You’ll experience creative choreography and be enticed by the catchy beat of the music.
There are two Love-it-Latin! classes:
- The open class will give you a high cardio-vascular workout, as well as improve your focus and mental alertness as you remember fast paced routines. The moves are challenging and lots of fun!
- The second class is for beginners who want to learn the basic moves, learn the names of the moves, work on co-ordinating the arm and leg actions and still get a great workout. All of this while still having fun!
What do I wear and bring to a Love-it-Latin! class?
It is best to wear clothes that make you feel comfortable as you will be doing swift movements. Most participants wear leggings or tracksuit pants and a singlet or t-shirt.
We also recommend that you wear shoes with a flat sole and minimal grip. (Shoes with too much grip can impede your turns and steps.)
