SwingTime Ballroom Brings LaBlast to Harford County
Instructors just finished training with Louis van Amstel himself to bring LaBlast to the Fallston studio.

LaBlast® the new dance fitness program created by World Dance Champion, coach, choreographer, Dancing with the Stars fan favorite and fitness expert, Louis van Amstel, is coming to Harford County. SwingTime Ballroom recently saw a dozen trainers become certified in this hot new program by Louis van Amstel himself, and now they’re starting up classes for everyone.
No dance experience is needed to try LaBlast, just a desire to have fun. The idea for LaBlast came about after the second season of Dancing with the Stars, when Louis’ celebrity partner, Lisa Rinna, confided that she wanted to keep on dancing. As far as she knew there weren’t any classes offered that fit exactly what she’d been doing with Louis and it quickly became apparent to Louis that he had an opportunity to create something new and exciting – something that wasn’t already out there. The premise was simple: create a partner-free dance program that anyone could participate in to learn to dance, get fit, and have fun.
SwingTime Ballroom hosted the training and also a class to give people a taste of this new workout. 50 people took the class, both men and women, and all agreed it’s fun, fast paced and something they’re looking forward to adding to their fitness routines.
