LaBlast Master Class with Louis van Amstel

THURSDAY MARCH 21
7:00-8:00PM

BEFORE MARCH 21: MEMBERS $35 | NON-MEMBERS $40
ON MARCH 21: MEMBERS $45 | NON-MEMBERS $50

LaBlast Fitness, created by Emmy-nominated choreographer & DWTS pro, Louis van Amstel, is a dance fitness program based on all of the ballroom dances you see on Dancing with the Stars It is partner-free, includes all components of fitness, and uses music from every era & genre.

Louis’ well-known saying is ‘if you can clap it, you can dance it’, and the LaBlast program is modeled exactly after that. Clapping the timing of the dance is the first step in understanding the rhythms and being able to execute them correctly. From there, you choose your own intensity by adding optional plyometric movements, light weights, heavy weights, or simply keeping your workout low impact. This is a program that is truly for every BODY at any stage of your fitness journey.
