Ballet Burn
Listen to the strains of Swan Lake and Nutcracker Suite, as we stretch and tone our total body with ballet moves.
Belly Dancing
Belly Dancing injects fun into fitness training, providing a gym workout for your muscles, while engaging in this exciting art form. The “shoulder shimmy” engages deltoids, biceps, and triceps. Hip drops work the obliques, glutes, calves, and quads; and the shifting of the body weight from one leg to the other leg provides safe increases in loading on the hip joint, knees, and ankles.
Broadway Blast
Have the spotlight shine on your inner chorus girl or boy while you do this fitness workout to the sounds of 14 Broadway classics. You're sure to applaud Smart Workout when you add Broadway Blast to your gym workout program.
Calypso
You’ll swear you can feel the ocean breezes as you do this aerobic workout to the steel drum sounds of calypso music.
Cheerleading
Hip Hip Hooray for Smart Workout’s Cheerleader Workout. Use pom poms and soft weights to get into Cheerleader shape. This very special routine works upper and lower body and is fantastic cardio, too. Great Moves. Great Exercise. Great Fun.
Dance to the Hits
Hip-Hop
This unique Hip Hop class fuses hip hop and yoga moves, and ends with everyone getting a massage! Now that's the way to get Hip.
Swing
Swing dancing is a fun way to burn off calories, and get aerobic fitness for your heart. Move to big-band sounds; rock and roll tunes; songs of the King (Elvis); the Queen (Ella); and modern blues stylists (Harry Connick Jr, Lavay Smith). You’ll have so much fun, you won’t realize that you’re in a gym workout.
Tango Workout
Be carried off by the mystery and romance of the tango, in this fitness workout for balance and postural alignment. Tango music; tango steps. Never has a gym workout been so enchanting.
Wild West
This ain't your mama's country line dancing. This aerobic dance class will have you sweating with a smile on your face as you tone your hips, thighs, and butt doing this great gym workout. Brooks and Dunn, Johnny Cash and some new favorites like Keith Urban and Reese Witherspoon, provide the soundtrack for this Smart Workout group fitness class. Grab your lasso and guns and dance away the pounds.
Zumba
“Zumba,” is a Columbian expression that means “move fast and have fun.” Zumba combines Latin rhythms with cardiovascular exercise to create an aerobic routine that’s fun and easy to follow. Zumba uses a variety of styles in its routine, including merengue, salsa, mambo, rhumba, flamenco, and calypso. Zumba utilizes the principle of fitness interval training and resistance training, to maximize caloric output and total body toning. Zumba is already popular in Miami and other U.S. cities, but it’s new to New York, and Smart Workout is delighted to introduce it. (Learn more about Zumba at zumba.com)
