Created for people who love music and dance – Dance Trance is not your typical dance fitness program. It’s a business that’s built on passion and community – each studio also invites members to join them on social media, encouraging people to get to know each other through a community that extends beyond class. The Dance Trance Program also includes a range of events, including an annual dance fitness cruise, ‘Dance in the Dark’ for Halloween, and a host of themed sessions and parties throughout the year. 

With several locations, classes vary but welcome all skill levels and provide an array of music genres. Classes change daily, so you’ll never find your workout repetitive. The signature Dance Trance routine involves uniquely choreographed combinations, set to original music by a unique recording artist. Choreography is designed for students to pick up combinations that will repeat throughout the class.

Unlike most traditional dance studios, you won’t find the instructors at Dance Trance using microphones – there are no voice commands during class. The session is all about the music; members will move to the beat and follow hand signals displayed by the instructor.

Sessions range in length, so there’s always time to squeeze in a class. Escape during lunch to Power Lunch 45 or find time to slow down for Mindful Movement – 75 minutes of slow flow designed to build an in-depth foundational understanding of the yoga poses and practice.
