Live from New Orleans! It’s Swingercise with Melissa! Starts 1/20/24!
Is it exercise? Is it Swing? Is it sooo much more? YES! Swingercise is here! Rev yourself up with fun traditional Jazz & Charleston inspired dance moves. Think Sweatin’ to the Oldies, but with a twist! Structured more like a workout class than a partner swing class, it's designed to keep you bouncing to some of our favorite music while not worrying about technique. Through repetition and being exposed to lots of new steps and variations, you’re bound to become more confident and versed in your social swing dancing – or, you'll just get more fit, healthier, and happier.
No prior Swing experience required. This is FUN for dancers of all abilities.

Boogie with your baby in this joyful, low-impact, follow-along dance fitness class. This class offers a wonderful opportunity to be part of a community and enjoy the proven benefits of babywearing and movement for bonding, development, and parental and infant well-being.

• Bring your own ergonomic symmetrical carrier
• Your baby should be between 8 weeks to 2 years old, 7+ lbs, with good head/neck control
• Expectant parents also welcome!
• Suitable for all fitness levels and no dance experience is necessary.

Our babies wiggle, sleep, sway with us to high-energy beats—we love it all.
What baby carrier should I bring?:
A secure, symmetrical, ergonomic carrier that keeps your baby snug and supported while allowing you to move freely. The carrier should hold your baby high, close, and facing inward, with their knees higher than their hips in an “M” position.

• Suitable options:
• Soft Structured Carriers (e.g. Ergobaby, Tula, LILLEbaby, or BobaX), which offer adjustable straps and support
• Mei Tai carriers (hybrid between a wrap and a structured carrier)
• Carriers to avoid:
• narrow-based carriers, (e.g. older BabyBjörn models) that don't support healthy hip positioning.
• stretchy wraps (may sag during movement and lack support for dancing)
• ring slings ( do not offer the stability needed for active movement)

### $16 per person - PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED

### By registering for this class you are agreeing to this waiver. OR, you may sign and bring to your first class.

Salsa Suelta is an Afro-Cuban Salsa class that is done without partners, and is a full body experience. The dance language of Suelta pulls from Reggaeton, Casino, Santeria, traditional Afro-Cuban dances, and heart. Get warmed up, wake up your heart, mind, hips, ribs, shoulders, feet and everything in between.

This class is suitable for beyond beginning and intermediate dancers. The focus changes weekly, and is centered around short choreographed routines.

Dress to sweat in clothes that promote movement. Sneakers are best for this class.
