Similar to classical Pilates, benefits include strength, flexibility, and balance. This class is for all levels, and the instructors will demo options so participants can choose their degree of intensity.

Walk forwards and you feel wonderful. You can strut forward, lunge forward and if you’re feeling happy even skip forward. Now imagine doing those same movements in a backward direction. How do you feel? Anxious? Off balance? Hesitant? Not so sure of your movements?
The “We’ve got your back” workshop will help with a series of exercises that will stabilize, strengthen and stretch your body so that you can feel more comfortable moving in any direction.

Join OWN IT Instructor, Angel, for a night of Sexy, Sweaty Chair Dance FUN!!!
This is a fun, heels-type class of sensual movement using a chair. You will learn a sexy, modern chair dance routine in a body positive, supportive, non-judgmental space. Although this is not a stage performance class, you will get the opportunity to perform for our group and take photos & videos to document your dance journey or share with a special someone.
The chair is here to support you which makes this a beautiful beginner class.
Whether you're a mom who just needs to get out of the house to feel like a whole person again, a previous competition dancer who has lost their joy for dance, someone who wants to become more in tune with their body and sexuality, or someone looking for a fun way to move your body from a place of love instead of hating it at the gym, this experience is for YOU!
Choreography will be broken down step by step with plenty of options to find a movement that feels good to your body. It's always your choice to follow along exactly or add your own spice as you get comfortable. Heels are optional...we appreciate shoes that won't scratch the floor : )
This party will be full of body waves, hair flips, hip circles, booty shakes and laughter.
This isn't just a class; it's an EXPERIENCE!!! It's not just about dance, it's about expanding your comfort zone, it's about empowering yourself and each other. It's embracing, loving and appreciating our bodies in its ever-evolving state. We'll start by mingling a little with champagne and sparkling water.
So.... What are you waiting for? Invite your friends and sign up now!

Ballet conditioning or Progressing Ballet Technique — Experience a workout that will strengthen and stretch your body. Although this workout was originally designed with ballet dancers in mind, everyone can benefit from these exercises. Use of a stability or fit ball makes this workout unique, challenging and most important fun. As the fit ball is continually mobile under the body it gives a proprioception for both posture and weight placement whilst feeling each correct muscle group. Each exercise has been developed with care and guidance to not only build strength but also improve balance, stability and range of motion. The programs have received positive feedback from dancers, teachers and athletes worldwide.
