Burlesque & Cabaret
Release the showgirl in you! For those who want to try something new and a tad bit risqué, why not try our Burlesque classes? Burlesque dance has recently regained popularity due to celebrities like Dita von Teese, the Pussycat Dolls and Christina Aguilera. The Burlesque classes will help you feel sassy & confident and get you fit & into shape. Each class you will learn an exciting new routine that will leave you confident and having had a bit of a workout. Burlesque lessons are a fabulous way to have fun, meet new people and feel good about yourself. So come and learn how to shimmy and shake. Don't worry if you have 2 left feet, you don't need to be able to dance, the routines are broken down and kept quite simple.
This is a ladies only class, sorry guys. For 16 years to 60 years plus. All shapes, sizes, fitness levels, abilities are welcome. Just come down with the intention to have a giggle and a laugh. You need to make sure you're wearing comfortable clothing. We recommend wearing general gym gear, although if you'd like to wear something a little more glamorous to build your confidence that is fine, but please make sure it's comfortable and you can move freely in it. You do not need to bring any high heels. You do need to bring a pair of gloves, ideally a pair of burlesque / opera gloves. Also, on one of the classes you'll need to bring a pair of stockings or hold-ups and a tie.

Zumba Dance Fitness
Zumba Fitness® was created in the mid-90s by Colombian native Alberto “Beto” Perez, a celebrity fitness trainer and choreographer for International pop superstars. Inspired by the traditional cumbia, salsa, samba and merengue music he grew up with, Beto paired his favourite pulsating Latin rhythms with the red-hot international dance steps his clients loved and Zumba Fitness® (Spanish slang for “to move fast and have fun”) was born! It has become one of the fastest-growing, dance-based fitness crazes in the country, with people of all ages falling in love with its infectious music, easy-to-follow dance moves, and body-beautifying benefits.
