UPLIFT - UPLIFT Summer In Person SHiNE Dance Fitness™ has cracked the code to create a strength-training program that’s the perfect balance of being effective and HELLA FUN! UPLIFT™ is so much fun, it has the power to turn fitness LOATHERS into LOVERS. This is not a dance class, but each routine is choreographed to iconic music, and when safety isn’t compromised, you’re likely to find a bootyshake or shimmy. UPLIFT™ is a strength training program that builds muscles AND confidence.UPLIFT classes start with a cardio warm-up and transition to standing routines with equipment, alternating between the upper and lower body. Participants strategically work each muscle group to ensure an effective workout. A balance track is included after the muscles have been fatigued which is challenging, rewarding, and a welcome change of pace before transitioning to the mat. The workout finishes with routines for the core, booty, abs, chest and triceps and a cool down with deep stretching. This UPLIFTING experience leaves participants feeling strong and confident.

UPLIFT - UPLIFT Summer In Person SHiNE Dance Fitness™ has cracked the code to create a strength-training program that’s the perfect balance of being effective and HELLA FUN! UPLIFT™ is so much fun, it has the power to turn fitness LOATHERS into LOVERS. This is not a dance class, but each routine is choreographed to iconic music, and when safety isn’t compromised, you’re likely to find a bootyshake or shimmy. UPLIFT™ is a strength training program that builds muscles AND confidence.UPLIFT classes start with a cardio warm-up and transition to standing routines with equipment, alternating between the upper and lower body. Participants strategically work each muscle group to ensure an effective workout. A balance track is included after the muscles have been fatigued which is challenging, rewarding, and a welcome change of pace before transitioning to the mat. The workout finishes with routines for the core, booty, abs, chest and triceps and a cool down with deep stretching. This UPLIFTING experience leaves participants feeling strong and confident.
