Show off your sweet new moves to your favorite jams, if you dare.
Dance-based classes like hip-hop might be just the answer and the new MVP Dance Fit in Kettering is a good place to start as they offer both Hip-hop Dance Energy classes as well as an adult hip-hop class where students learn choreography and perform their routine at a recital.
While performance-based dance classes are nothing new for children and teens, fewer adult classes have a performance component.
“It does scare some people away, but others get really excited,” said Rachel Vickhouse, owner of MVP Dance Fit.
Whether you enjoy the spotlight or just want to shed a few pounds, hip-hop might be a fun alternative to more traditional fitness classes.
Get moving
Hip-hop incorporates full-body movements that can help improve overall muscle strength, stamina and endurance. It can also burn some serious calories — about eight calories a minute for a 150-pound person, which amounts to 480 calories an hour.
The music and dance can be a welcome distraction for those who are sick of counting crunches.
