Dance Dance Revolution!

Dance Dance Revolution! in Mesa Arizona. De-stress while having fun building your cardio.

 

In this day and age while everyone is handling major difficulties and life situations, important things like health and mental well-being get put on the back burner. This causes stress, ugly attitudes, wrinkles and weight gain. Sherry V. has found an innovative way to shake some of the stress and pounds away in a fun and high energy cardio dance workout class.

 

Music and dancing is a known stress reduction and cardiovascular training is the traditional way to burn calories and lose weight. Sherry decided to enhance her dance classes by adding an extra cardio bump and by gearing it into more of a workout class. She teaches Bhangra for the first part of class. This is a very high energy dance that originates from the Punjab region of Northern India. The music is driven by the dohl beats (a type of bass drum) and motivates even the tired participants to ‘pump it’ even a little bit more! She also incorporates African Fusion and Belly Dance into the 60 minute session.  Sherry has become well known in the Valley for her Bhangra classes. In the past three years, her classes have been featured in the Republic, the East Valley Tribune, the ASU’s paper State Press and most recently in the article “8 ways to reduce stress” in Business Week.com.

 

After the initial blast of cardio with Bhangra dance, she starts the toning section with the cultural dance of the middle east, bellydance. She has professionally performed in the US and the UK since 2004. This section of class helps isolate specific muscles groups in the arms, chest, back, abs and hips. All women love to learn the moves from this sensual dance style.

 

Then after the women in class catch their breath and connect with their internal sensuality, Sherry dives into the full body expression of African Fusion. She originally learned this mishmash of West African and Belly dance moves from her dance troupe director, Heidi Alexander, of the renowned Domba! 20 minutes of dancing to this heart pounding music fully opens the body, stimulates the endorphins and gets everyone breaking into a sweat!
