This class is all about the music and about fun dance moves.

Its all about having a good time while getting fit and getting fit without even knowing!

Listenting to great house/club music and moving around the room so you feel like you are at a party rather than a boring fitness class!

Its SO much fun!
ITS A MUST TRY!!
