Dance for Brain Strengthening and Cardio Fitness 

With many research articles focusing on the benefits of dance for brain/memory health, Amy has added a dance class as part of her Pilates mat class series. packed with good music and fun movement, the class focus on balance and brain challenging movement to improve the overall health of the student. Plus, it is FUN!!!! It is recommended that both classes be taken in sequence but the dance class can be attended on its own as well.

​

For people who want to dance, improve their brain and heart function, and move to music. Feed your soul!

• Brain challenging movement to help build and strengthen neuro-connections and increase healthy brain function. Balance exercises, footwork, coordination of arms, legs, feet, hands, head, and torso creates a fun and satisfying movement experience.

• Non-stop movement to inspiring world music encourages a low to medium cardio workout. It leaves the dancer energized, not exhausted.

• Dance combinations structured like a ballet class but with movements inspired by modern dance. This is not a class about aesthetics but about enjoying moving coordinated with the rhythm of the music. Healthy joint mechanics, proper warm up, and stretching are all features of a great movement experience that is injury free.
