This isn't a typical dance class There are no rules in this version of cardio dance. Get out of your own way and let yourself get weird and wild, I'll show you that it's ALL ABOUT YOU! The steps are easy to follow, but don't be fooled, the intensity will leave you ready to drop at the end! Let yourself feel the music and take you from start to end!
