Adult Classes
|
Dance-based movement builds the brain's connection to the body, lifts the spirits, and activates the mind, body, and soul. Elements of our classes overlap, but in simplest terms, we have 4 broader categories. Strength workouts like barre and yoga, cardio dance classes, traditional dance classes like ballet and hip hop, and fusion classes like Piloxing and Pop Pilates that combine choreography and other formats. We recommend a good balance of activities that you enjoy to routinely exercise your heart and lungs as well as your muscles.

STRAIGHTLINE STRENGTH TRAINING
|
At Straightline, strong is beautiful and optimal physical function is our goal. We want bodies that support us through our day to day activities for the rest of our lives. We need a balance of strength and flexibility, skills that are forged through challenge. We provide a nonjudgmental supportive environment to nudge your limits.

Barre^*We’re betting you’ve never tried a barre class quite like ours. We partner smart layered choreography with small and big range of motion for the classic barre burn with a dynamic cardio bite. It’s difficult and gentle all at once, requiring a unique blend of mental and muscular fortitude. The exercises are low-impact and easily adjusted to accommodate a wide range of levels--it gets easier but never easy. This is a workout that will constantly challenge and consistently reward. You will be amazed at its effects in just 10 lifting, toning, and lengthening classes. Keep at, and your new friend Lean Muscle Mass will increase your calorie burn, decrease your body fat, and sculpt a strong and shapely silhouette. Bring your own yoga mat and water. Barefoot class. Please wear grip socks.
Yoga^Although yoga doesn’t have many ties to dance, it shares some important elements. The flowing choreography of a vinyasa class and the concentrated isometric work of an asana hold have much the same affect. It has a mindfulness that clears and centers as well as the ability to breathe and stretch. Yoga pairs well with any exercise routine.

Circuit BarreAn invigorating circuit of cardio and strength exercises with a barre flair. This small group class is led by a personal trainer and designed to get your heart pumping, your body perspiring, and your muscles burning fat and calories. If you like strength training but lean toward big range movements and getting a little sweaty, this class is for you.
Sweat & Stretch^This class combines High Intensity Interval Training (HiiT) with deep stretching to give you the best of both worlds. This workout designed to sculpt every part of your body, as well as increase stamina and improve strength. Think exercises using your own body weight: push-ups, planks, etc. The extended stretch sequence at the end will increase flexibility and reduce soreness. Shoes encouraged.

CARDIO DANCE
|
If you’re looking for exercise that never feels like exercise, try dancing. There’s something about following a routine set to music that clears your mind. In each of our dance fitness formats, a teacher will lead you through choreographed routines, some styles more intricate than others. (Pro tip: If choreo challenges you, just focus on the feet, add arms when you’re comfortable.) Come week to week, and you’ll soon memorize and master, gaining a freedom of movement. New routines will be added periodically to provide new challenge.
|
XaBeat*Upbeat and uplifting pop music accompanies straightforward routines with a jazz flair. Arms are toned by broad expansive movements, and routines occasionally feature strength exercises like lunges and squats. Choreography is more intricate and quick, but the steps are approachable and repeat a lot to make mastery easy.
Cardio Funk*A follow-along style dance fitness class for those with a range of dance experience. The class includes conditioning and toning + follow-along combinations that get the heart pumping. We dance to a variety of music including hip-hop, pop, salsa, and reggaeton

Dance Classes
|
We aim to take the judgement out of dance by offering recreational dance classes for adults of all levels in a supportive environment. Come with a sense of humor, a positive attitude, and the willingness to cut yourself some slack. A traditional dance class focuses more on technique than a cardio dance. Each class begins with a warm-up, breaks down choreography, and drills technique and style. You may be asked to practice and demonstrate in small groups. It’s okay to not participate, but we encourage you to let go. Dance has enormous benefit sharpening the brain’s ability to communicate with the body. The mental exercise in dance-based classes has lifelong benefit, and you’ll never feel like you’re working out!
|
Hip Hop (Beg./Int.)The choreography will incorporate various styles of hip-hop from breaking to popping and everything in between—developing musicality, hard hitting movements, body isolations, energy, textures, and the ability to freestyle. Students will be encouraged to step outside the box and bring their own individual style and personality to the movements. No previous Hip-Hop experience required. Comfortable clothing and clean sneakers required. Hip hop classes are leveled according to the complexity of the choreography and the speed with which it’s introduced, not the caliber of the student.
|
BalletThis traditional Ballet class takes Barre back to the building blocks to get you moving, perspiring, and delving into the art of Ballet. We will learn how to engage our muscles in basic ballet positions, finding the strength and toning in the exercises. Perfect as a steppingstone to barre or for those who want to feel the grace and musicality of ballet. Suitable for all ages and all levels, graceful or not! Ballet shoes welcome, otherwise socks or bare feet are just fine!
