Lakeside Dance Lab: WERQ

WERQ is a cardio dance fitness class that uses pop and hip-hop music to provide an intense and fun workout without the feeling of a traditional workout. Classes are designed to be accessible for all fitness levels, with an emphasis on joyful movement. A typical class includes a warm-up, a series of choreographed routines, and a cool-down stretch. 

No dance experience needed— all skill levels are welcome in this inclusive, cross-cultural community experience.
