Clash Cardio

This is a perfect open-level dance class for anyone who loves Afro and soca music and wants to get a great cardiovascular workout! Beginners will become familiar with fundamental movement sequencing through simplified versions of ILLY's Dance CLASH choreographed routines, while advanced movers and experienced dancers are absolutely welcome to participate and build stamina and endurance alongside the group. Each class begins with an energizing warm-up that progressively builds into the main Dance CLASH routine for that day. After the featured choreography, we follow with a challenging body weight workout and circuit to build strength and conditioning. We finish each class with a gentle, relaxing stretch to cool down your body. Classes are led with predominantly high-energy soca music to maintain momentum and excitement, though Afro music is occasionally incorporated into the mix for variety. The movement vocabulary and choreographic style are inspired by contemporary Caribbean soca dance, traditional West African authentic movement, and modern Afro street dance styles and aesthetics.
