I came to the world of dance fitness quite accidentally at this very gym. Somewhat bored with the cardio machine I was on, I decided to see what those annoying people in the back were hollering and clapping about. The first time was like being thrown in the deep end of the pool being forced to learn how to swim. Once I got over my initial feelings of looking an utter fool, I soon found myself caught up in the music, the enthusiasm, and the general good vibes all around me. Before I knew it, I was drenched in sweat and ready for more. I found myself looking forward to this amazing workout which had both the intensity and energy of a great aerobics class and a night out at the club [minus the booze and attitude]. A few months later, I decided that I wanted to move past the role of the student ... and it's been love [and sweat] ever since.

Years ago I studied dance and the love for it has never left me. I believe that dance is about expressing yourself through your body. Because of this, it can be both a humbling and rewarding experience, finding out what your body communicates and learning new ways to "talk." The only difference between walking and dancing is that everyone walks everyday; dancing, like walking, is simply a function of practice, patience, and persistence. While I don't promise to make you a great dancer, I can make you smile, sweat, and get you "talking" with your body. I strive to make each of my classes fun, unexpected, and most importantly, a workout. 808 Dance Fitness is about partying yourself into shape and while I put an emphasis on the "party," I also encourage participants to remember it's a workout. We party but we also work towards getting that body in the best shape it can be. Reflecting upon my own personal background, I use music, rhythms, and styles from all over the world. My 808 Dance Fitness classes are like a night out at an extremely eclectic ... yet funky and sexy club somewhere in Madrid where all are welcome. From the gym rat who has taken classes for years ... to the novice who is there out of curiosity, there's something for everyone in the class. If you stick with 808 Dance Fitness, you'll see your confidence increase, your waistline shrink, and your perception of what you can do greatly expanded.

Let's dance together and see what you can do!
