Traditional Dance: The primary focus of a traditional dance class is to teach or learn a specific style of dance. The beginning of class is spent learning technique, followed by a choreographed routine which the instructor will breakdown and repeat. The combination of moves are typically introduced slowly at first, building in length and speed.
Dance Fitness: A generic term for any dance class with the intention of maximizing cardiovascular endurance and caloric expenditure, Dance Fitness is a full body aerobic workout which usually takes place in a group exercise setting. This exercise format utilizes simple, easy-to-follow dance choreography, usually incorporating both hi and low-impact movements and can be set to any genre of music. Participants follow along watching and mimicking the instructor with little breakdown of the dance moves.
