Step + dance
Step & cardio dance
Step combinations and dance cardio in the same hour, with the music doing as much of the coaching as the instructor.
What it is
The hour, honestly.
Step & cardio dance mixes platform combinations with dance-cardio blocks. You learn a short pattern, repeat it, then carry it into the music.
The step gives the class its structure; the dance gives it the energy. Both can be done at a lower height or a smaller range when you want to dial it back.
Windows, not a timetable
This class runs inside the published class windows, and the line-up can vary by day. Call to confirm it is on when you plan to come.
The session
What the hour looks like.
Find the platform
Grab a step and set it at a height you are comfortable with. The instructor starts with the basic approach and the count.
Learn, then layer
A combination is taught in pieces, then repeated with the music. Arms and turns get added once the feet are settled.
Dance block
The step portion opens into cardio dance, then the class cools down and stretches.
Who it is for
It fits if…
- People who like learning a pattern rather than improvising.
- Members who want cardio with more structure than a pure dance class.
- Anyone who wants a low-impact option that still feels like a workout.
Not sure whether it fits? Call the studio and describe what you want from the hour. That is a better question than a quiz.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I need to know step aerobics?
No. The class is listed as all levels and the combination is taught from the basic approach. Use a lower step height while you learn.
What shoes work best?
Shoes you can move in with a stable sole for the step and enough flex for the dance block. Bring a towel and water.
Which class is actually running?
The studio publishes class windows, not a fixed class-by-class timetable. Call (760) 678-8193 to confirm what is running in the window you want.
