The Dancer's Workout®

The Dancer's Workout® is an in-person, one-hour adult dance fitness class for intermediate-level current and former ballet and jazz dancers, held at TDS / Triangle Dance Studio on November 7, 2026 at 11:45 a.m. It is not a beginner class, and prior ballet training is required. Jazz sneakers or jazz slippers are preferred.

Each session starts with a warm-up and stretching, then moves into dance cardio using original ballet, jazz and contemporary choreography set to pop songs. The sequences build on one another and end with a dance to a featured pop song. The last 10 to 15 minutes are "bikini bootcamp," a set of choreographed toning exercises. The organiser describes the atmosphere as very supportive, especially for former dancers returning to the floor. Jules, who founded the class, is a classical ballet graduate of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and founder of the Adult Dance Alliance, a network of studio owners and adult dance instructors. A sample class video and more about the class are at www.thedancersworkout.com, and class package details are at https://bit.ly/TDWmindbody.

Dancers should watch the choreography review video before class at https://thedancersworkout.mykajabi.com/choreography. New students will be asked whether they have watched it. RSVP for the in-person class on Meetup at www.meetup.com/The-Dancers-Workout. If the class is full, join the waitlist. Anyone whose plans change should update their RSVP right away so a waitlisted dancer can take the spot. New students who RSVP but do not show up lose their free first class, and existing students are charged. Changing an RSVP to NO less than one hour before the start also results in a charge.
