district SHiNE Dance Fitness™ is for all adults--if you love to dance, play, and shine, you belong here with us!

SHiNE Dance Fitness™ brings original routines to life using hit music and choreography for all-abilities. Rooted in jazz, ballet, and hip-hop, this workout gives you a creative outlet to escape from daily stress. Each class includes the perfect balance of high cardio and toning to ensure you receive a full-body workout with real results. SHiNE is a mood-lifting experience that leaves you feeling capable, confident, and connected to a supportive community.

SHiNE Dance Fitness™ classes are considered "ALL LEVELS" and instructors are trained to make the class accessible and fun for dancers with various amounts of experience -we’ll teach you and we can't wait to dance with you!

Wear anything you feel comfortable and confident dancing in! For most, that means yoga pants, t-shirt/tank top, and athletic shoes. We love colors (esp. black and pink), animal print, neon, and if you like it, we LOVE it!

We keep the same playlist for a month, so while some dancers may know a few more songs than a beginner, you won't be alone and our instructors are trained to cue throughout the songs!
