It is a mixture of body sculpting movements with easy to follow dance steps.
Comfortable clothing such as tracksuit bottoms, t-shirt or vest top and a good sports bra. You'll also want to wear trainers. Dance aerobic trainers like NIKE Air Divine or NIKE Musique or NIKE Air Kapella. This sole has a light grip or ‘spin spot’ which will help you twist or turn. Cross trainers or running shoes are not ideal as they are made to propel the body forwards and backwards and have a heavy grip.
Bring bottled water and a towel if needed, burning 300-1000 calories can be pretty sweaty and the most important thing is a sense of humour.
