Bhangra Fitness is an Indian-dance based program, designed for people of all ages and fitness levels who love to stay physically active. Specifically, it introduces high energy Bhangra and Bollywood dance movements in an easy-to-follow fitness format, and is a mechanism by which thousands of people have been moved, touched and inspired to become physically active. With the dance choreography directly influenced by the music and dance of modern Bhangra and Bollywood styles, Bhangra fitness is a fresh and exciting addition to the world of fitness and dance.
Bhangra Fitness can be danced barefoot, with non-slip socks, or with indoor only shoes. If you wear shoes please select a pair with a light colored sole that will not scuff the dance floor. Please select shoes that have a clean sole that are not worn outside, as others in the class will be barefoot and we don’t want them stepping on debris etc tracked in from outside. Please wear comfortable dance attire and bring water and a small towel, as you will be sweating!

Discover the earthy sensuality of barefoot, feminine Flamenco. Rather than focusing primarily on footwork, barefoot feminine Flamenco utilizes the entire body to explore rhythm through this soulful, fun dance style. Class focuses on rhythmic training, skirt techniques, stage presence, and–of course–Flamenco moves! No previous dance experience is required. If you have a long, flowy skirt, please bring or wear it. If you don’t have a skirt, I will have some available for you.
Wednesday: 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM
This series is for those who are new to Flamenco and/or have little or no dance experience. We will focus on understanding the foundational rhythms and movements for Tangos. Tangos are one of the foundational rhythms in Flamenco. This style, counted in 4s, is fun and lively. Each class session builds on the last, and at the end you will know a short tango choreography. In addition to learning these techniques, we will work on confidence building and dancing with heart. Flamenco shoes are highly suggested. If you do not have flamenco shoes, please wear a show with a square heel. No tennis shoes! If you have any questions about what shoes are appropriate, contact Kim (Kim@worlddanceavl.com).
