Limited Class

A perfect open level class for Afro & Soca lovers looking for a good sweat! Beginners get familiar with basic sequencing through a simplified version of ILLYs Dance CLASH routines and avid movers/dancers are welcomed to build stamina and endurance. Class starts with a warm up which builds into the Dance CLASH routine for the day. We follow up with a body weight burn out for our arms and core, then close with a light stretch. Class is conducted with predominantly Soca music but Afro music is occasionally thrown in the mix as well. Dance movement is inspired by Caribbean Soca, traditional West African and Afro Street styles.
