Dance your way to fitness

Searching for a fun way to get in shape? Why not dance?

Broken down, dance is simply moving to the beat of music. It doesn't have to be complicated. You don't need a master's degree to do it. You don't even have to watch yourself do it! All you need is some space and your favorite music.

And if you pay close attention, you'll discover you're working a lot of muscles by dancing.

At Jazzercise Elk Grove, we combine dance -- to all different types of music -- with muscle work, to give you the best dance workout possible. Our moves are professionally choreographed, but don't let that intimidate you! We make sure all of our moves are easily picked up by our customers. That's why our customers experience Real Results -- they can easily pick up our moves and aren't spending their hour just watching the instructor or fellow customers, trying to figure out a move.

And because we know variety is the spice of life, our classes incorporate every artist from Justin Timberlake, to Kenny Chesney, Beyonce to Taylor Swift, and Fall Out Boys to Maroon 5. And our moves are just as varied. In one song, we'll be doing the mambo, and the next jabbing and roundhouse kicking in a kickboxing routine. We back it all up with strength, pilates, yoga and stretch moves, too!

It's why we placed First Runner Up in the 2013 KCRA A-List for BEST GENERAL FITNESS, and second in the 2013 Best of Elk Grove for BEST GROUP FITNESS.

To celebrate dance -- and our more than 40-year history of bringing dance fitness to the world -- Jazzercise Elk Grove is running a Dancing Days promotion Aug 29 through Sept 3. New customers and former customers can take one complimentary class during Dancing Days, and register at all-time low prices -- including $0 for the rest of August and September.

With the kids in school, now is the perfect time to focus on your health and fitness. And dancing regularly to a variety of music you already love singing to in your car is the perfect way to do it.

Wanna give our moves a spin? Find our class schedule here, and drop by at any of our classes. Your first class will be free Aug 29 through Sept 3. Our address is 9110 Union Park Way, Suite 112. Email additional questions.

What have you got to lose? Besides calories, cellulite, pounds, poor health, bad moods...

See you on the dance floor.
