Adult Dance Classes NIGHTCLUB TWO-STEP, BEGINNER TO INTERMEDIATE

Who says you have to jump, grunt, strain and punish your body to get amazing results from your workout? Not with PiYo…PiYo combines the musclesculpting, corefirming benefits of Pilates with the strength and flexibility advantages of yoga. And, we crank up the speed to deliver a true fat-burning, low-impact workout that leaves your body looking long, lean and incredibly defined. PiYo isn't like standard Pilates and yoga classes that make you hold long, intense poses, or lead you through dozens of repetitive, microscopic core movements. PiYo speeds everything up—including your results—by introducing you to dynamic, flowing sequences that can burn serious calories at the same time as they lengthen and tone your muscles and increase your flexibility.
