Caribe Soul – Mondays 7:45-8:45 PM
This Afro-Caribbean inspired dance class has strength training, sultry dance combos, and mindful movement. Caribe Soul gleams from dance styles such as Bachata, Salsa, West African, Zouk, and Lambada. The strength training is rooted in resistance training, Barre, and Pilates.
Our Mindful Movement will be during our cool down and will be a chance to sink into the body, allowing the body to move freely and independently. How the body wants to move, while the group is gently lead & guided by the teacher to help each person in the class connect within, while also being a part of the whole group. This class will be a fantastic work out for the entire body, while also being soothing for the soul.
