What is a Fusion Dance Workout?
Fusion Dance workout combines two of the most amazing rhythms and styles...
BELLY DANCE and LATIN as the primary foundation.
It then fuses together many other styles of and dance influences such as ballet, flamenco, African, and others to make for a comprehensive, different, and fun workout that will awaken your senses and inner goddess!
Because it is a workout...
we concentrate on target areas: arms, abs, hips, and thighs
Because it is a dance class as well...
students are introduced to basic steps and foundation moves focusing primarily on BELLY DANCE and the various LATIN rhythms. This cardio workout includes Warm up, Isolations, Dance/Cardio & Yoga Cool down~
With the Belly Dance foundation, we are able to increase and improve movement and fluidity, control, flexibility, and balance, all the while strengthening and toning!
With the Latin foundation we are able to increase and improve coordination and introduce footwork to our movement.

DID YOU KNOW?
* Aerobic dancing burns over 540+ calories during an hour workout
Benefits of Latin Dancing
No Wonder Dancing Feels So Good......
Music and dancing have been a part of many different cultures for centuries. It is part of celebration and entertainment. And whether they knew it or not, way back when the dancing began, there are numerous amazing health benefits. Now that the American population is facing a major obesity epidemic, health benefits from dancing is something that should be taken a closer look at.
The Health Benefits of Latin Dancing
Not only is dancing an exceptional way to let loose and have fun, but it also provides some terrific benefits for your health.
In fact, Mayo Clinic researchers reported that social dancing helps to:
* Reduce stress
* Increase energy
* Improve strength
* Increase muscle tone and coordination
Dancing
Dancing the night away can burn more calories per hour than riding a bike or swimming.
And whether you like to kick up your heals to hip hop, salsa or country, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute says that dancing can:
* Lower your risk of coronary heart disease
* Decrease blood pressure
* Help you manage your weight
* Strengthen the bones of your legs and hips
Latin dancing is a unique form of exercise because it provides the heart-healthy benefits of an aerobic exercise while also allowing you to engage in a social activity.
The amount of benefit you get from dancing depends on, like most exercises, the type of dancing you're doing, how strenuous it is, the duration and your skill level.
Latin Dancing
* Builds endurance and stamina
* Helps with weight loss
* Relieves stress
* Helps you release toxins via sweating
* May help lower blood pressure and improve cholesterol levels
* Can lead to a reduced heart rate over time
Dancing Off Those Calories
How many calories will you burn while dancing? That depends on the type of dancing. Here's a range of some of the most popular varieties, based on a 150-pound person, per hour:
* Swing dancing: 235 calories/hour
* Ballroom dancing: 265
* Square dancing: 280
* Ballet: 300
* Belly dancing: 380
* Latin dancing: 420+
* Aerobic dancing: 540+
Mental Benefits of Dancing
Dancing is a unique form of exercise because it provides the heart-healthy benefits of an aerobic exercise while also allowing you to engage in a social activity. This is especially stimulating to the mind, and one 21-year study published in the New England Journal of Medicine even found dancing can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia in the elderly.
In the study, participants over the age of 75 who engaged in reading, dancing and playing musical instruments and board games once a week had a 7 percent lower risk of dementia compared to those who did not. Those who engaged in these activities at least 11 days a month had a 63 percent lower risk!
Interestingly, dancing was the only physical activity out of 11 in the study that was associated with a lower risk of dementia. Said Joe Verghese, a neurologist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and a lead researcher of the study, "This is perhaps because dance music engages the dancer's mind."
Verghese says dancing may be a triple benefit for the brain. Not only does the physical aspect of dancing increase blood flow to the brain, but also the social aspect of the activity leads to less stress, depression and loneliness. Further, dancing requires memorizing steps and working with a partner, both of which provide mental challenges that are crucial for brain health.
So clearly dancing is excellent for your body, mind, and soul. Pick up a new heart healthy habit and learn to dance salsa.
