Shuffle Dance with Erin
NO CLASS SATURDAY OCTOBER 17
8:30am Low Impact Shuffle Dance
All the energy and excitement of shuffle dancing without the jumping. This class features fast footwork, rhythm-based movement, and hip-hop-inspired choreography - all adapted to keep your feet on the ground. Don't let "low impact" fool you. This class delivers a serious cardiovascular workout while building the coordination, balance, and leg strength that keep you moving confidently through life. The quick footwork patterns challenge your brain and body, improving neural connections while strengthening bones and muscles. This class is perfect for women who are building up their fitness, recovering from injury, working on balance and stability, or simply prefer to keep jumping out of their routine. You'll still sweat, you'll still challenge yourself, and you'll definitely still have fun. No dance experience necessary.
The impact and footwork patterns are excellent for bone density, balance, stability and cardiovascular endurance—essential elements in preventing osteoporosis and arthritis as we age.
9:15am Higher Intensity Shuffle Dance
A high-energy, hip-hop-inspired dance class built on fast footwork, jumps, and rhythmic patterns that will challenge your coordination and elevate your heart rate. This isn't just dance—it's a powerful workout for women. The jumping and dynamic footwork stimulate bone growth, helping build and maintain bone density that's critical for long-term health. The quick direction changes and weight shifts improve balance and proprioception, while the cardiovascular intensity delivers a serious calorie burn without feeling like traditional exercise. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast looking for something fresh or someone who just wants to move with intensity and joy, shuffle dance meets you where you are. The choreography challenges your brain as much as your body, creating new neural pathways while you're having too much fun to notice you're working hard. Come ready to jump, sweat, laugh, and surprise yourself with what your body can do. No dance experience necessary. All levels welcome.

About Your Instructor
Erin Calandra, DPT
Erin discovered shuffle dance online and was instantly obsessed. What started as a fun Saturday practice in her room quickly became a passion. She began sharing videos of her progress, and before long she was leading her own class. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Erin loves shuffle for more than the fun: it's a high-intensity workout whether you choose low or high impact, and the dynamic, rhythmic footwork is fantastic for maintaining bone strength as we age.
In Erin's classes, you'll learn moves that are fun to master and easy to take to any dance floor. The music might be the best part. From 70s funk to 80s dance to 90s hip hop, every class is packed with nostalgia and addictive beats you can't help but move to. Shuffle is for everyone: men and women, all ages, all levels. Come ready to sweat, smile, and surprise yourself.
