Donation – $7-25
Limited Class

Representing the sugar city St. Kitts/Nevis, ILLY will bring you that big energy from the small islands with a movement and music tour across the Caribbean region. Enjoy a blend of African, Fete and fitness inspired movements to the Soca sounds of the Virgin Islands, Antigua, Dominica, St. Lucia and more! Each class will make at least two island stops. One leg of the tour with a longer routine to support body and brain retention and a shorter burn out round to build your stamina and endurance. Are you ready for a taste of Small Island Soca with ILLY? 

A lover of music, dance and culture, Ilana Illy Warner engages in teaching and learning an array of dance styles from traditional West African and Afro Street styles to Soca and Caribbean Contemporary. As a small island ambassador she consistently represents her Kittitian roots in whatever way possible including in the 2017 New Traditions Festival in the featured “My Caribbean Spirit Project” and 2017 edition of FIYAH Dancehall Theater. In 2019 she performed for Machel Monday with an array of artists including Cima Funk, Ding Dong, Ashanti and Machel Montano. In addition 2019 brought her performing on stage with  Mr. Killa and music videos for Voice the Artiste and Lyrikal’s “Rukshun.” She is also a 2015 Certified Group Fitness Instructor with the Aerobic and Fitness Association of America (AFAA).
