What we’re about
Hello dancers (both current and former)! The Dancer's Workout is a one-hour total body workout which integrates movement sequences from multiple genres of dance (ballet, lyrical jazz, contemporary, hip hop) while providing an exhilarating dance experience! Each dance class provides a thorough warmup and bite-sized instructional choreography which builds upon itself throughout the hour and culminates in a fun, high-energy dance to a featured pop song. Jazz sneakers or jazz slippers are best for this class.
The Dancer's Workout classes are perfect for women who used to dance who now want to dance their way back into shape and for active dancers interested in maintaining flexibility and cardio stamina. THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER'S DANCE CLASS. It requires previous training in ballet, jazz, modern, hip hop, gymnastics, and/or ballroom AND the ability to learn choreography and assimilate dance patterns quickly. It is perfect for current dancers and for former intermediate and advanced dancers, regardless of how long it has been since you have taken classes. Very friendly, supportive atmosphere.
If you would like to join us for classes, please join the meetup and RSVP within two weeks of joining. New members who do not RSVP for classes and/or stay true to their RSVPs will eventually be removed, as this meetup is for active class participants who are serious about coming to classes and getting or staying in shape by dancing their little hearts out. If this is your passion, we welcome you with open arms.
To all TDW dancers who have taken class with us this year and throughout the years… Thank you for being such a vital and meaningful part of our TDW adult dance community! You have enriched our lives in so many ways!
And now, you are invited to help us capture this precious time in our lives by accepting your personal invitation to our Annual TDW Photoshoot being held on Sunday, 10Dec23, from 3:00-5:30 pm, at NC Dance Institute, 5910 Duraleigh Rd, Raleigh, NC.
As one large group we will pose together and represent our outstanding TDW community of adult ballet, jazz, and contemporary dancers.
We have big plans for these photos!
Don’t forget that in 2017 we created our first “vogue” photo that landed us on the UNC School of the Arts website (https://www.uncsa.edu/dance/alumni/jules-szabo.aspx).
In 2021 we created our fabulous “pandemic era” photo that landed us in Dance Teacher magazine (https://rcl.ink/zihVo).
And in 2022, we captured the historic photos that adorn our website (www.thedancersworkout.com) and our various social media platforms! As a vital member of our dance family, we want YOU to be in the 2023 photos with us!
Please note that we will not be dancing on this day. Instead, we will focus exclusively on creating these group photos.
Everyone needs to arrive by 3:00 pm dressed in a bright TDW tank, black pants, and black dance shoes, in full hair and makeup (hair can be worn up or down). We will pose together as a group in various large group configurations. Our photographer will take oodles and oodles of photos in our quest for the perfect, publication-worthy, shots of our TDW community.
Once those photos have been taken, assuming there is time, we can slap on some reindeer antlers or Santa hats (and whatever else you can bring) and create some cute group Christmas photos.
Please mark your calendar so that when you are asked about your holiday availability, you can reserve this special afternoon for your TDW family. Please go ahead and RSVP here so we know you're coming.
By the way, if you do not already own a TDW tank, please order one for yourself by 30Nov23 (TDW tanks can be purchased at https://www.studiostylebysara.com/tdw). We have a 15% off discount available for all tank top orders purchased by the deadline. 😀
