Dance Fitness Classes You Should Try

Keeping fit is so important to a balanced dance schedule. As a dancer it’s important to take care of your body, whether that’s staying strong or building up your conditioning to handle the high intensity dance routines.

Thankfully, there are a lot of great fitness class options in the city. Whether you want to find something for free online, or support a local studio and buy a pass, there’s something available for every type of budget and workout. And, many are virtual so you can stay safe!

Not sure what to wear to work out? We’ve got you covered! We have a ton of great activewear available to support any workout you’re into.

Let’s get moving! Here are a few of our favorite fitness classes to try:

  1. Oaysis Studios

This Toronto studio offers choreography-focused classes that focus on deepening the mind-body connection. Whether you want to take a choreography class, try mindful movement, get a stretch in with a yoga practise, or get your heart pumping with a fitness class, there are great options available virtually to support your dance practise.

A monthly pass is $19 a month for unlimited access. You can also try a free trial.

 

     2. Barreworks

Barre classes

We’re obsessed with barre workouts, which are a ballet inspired fitness class that really compliments any dancer’s fitness routine. Toronto barre studio, Barreworks, offers sculpt, stretch, cardio, and Pilates classes on top of their traditional barre classes. And, all classes are offered virtually right now. With the Barreworks at Home platform, you can even choose 15, 30, and 50-minute classes depending on how you’re feeling.

You can try the platform free for 7 days, and after that the subscription for unlimited 24/7 access is $34.99 a month.

 

  3. Blogilates

If you’re looking for something free, Blogilates is a great online program. Go to the Monthly Calendar page and download the monthly calendar. Then, you simply go to YouTube and search the video names for that day and get in a full workout, totally free.

Most of the classes are equipment free, so no need to worry about anything other than a yoga mat. The dance inspired, Pilates strength classes are guaranteed to make you smile as you follow fitness blogger Casey Ho on your fitness journey.
