Picture this: pulsating music, energetic moves, and a whirlwind of emotions – all while sculpting the perfect body. This isn’t just another dance class, it’s DanceBody, a dynamic fusion of dance cardio and sculpting workouts founded in the heart of NYC.
Established in 2013 by the dynamo Katia Pryce, DanceBody was born out of sheer love for dance and a yearning for community-focused, high-energy fitness routines. As a seasoned professional dancer, Katia moved to NYC in 2009, and soon transformed her private dance sessions into a buzzing hub of rhythm, movement, and energy. Within no time, DanceBody classes became the talk of the town, with the demand skyrocketing in cities from Miami to Los Angeles. The secret sauce? It’s not just about physical transformation; it’s about energizing your soul and boosting confidence. As they say, the most crucial metric is how you feel.
Underpinning this philosophy is a close-knit team of exuberant dancers turned compassionate instructors. Spearheading the brigade alongside Katia is Courtnay Mariani, the co-founder and COO. With a background steeped in professional dance and a stint at Broadway Dance Center, Courtnay brings her blend of ‘tough love, body rolls, and hair whips’ to each DanceBody session. Their mantra? “You don’t need to BE a dancer to BE a DanceBody.”
Central to DanceBody is the C.I.R.C.L.E philosophy – fostering Community, Inclusion, Respect, Commitment, Love, and Empathy. With each dance move, you’re not just toning muscles but building bonds, breaking stereotypes, and celebrating diversity.
If you’re yearning for a personalized experience, DanceBody Private Training is your go-to. Whether you want to master the newest dance routines or fast-track your fitness journey, these one-on-one sessions are tailored to your every whim. And for the digital nomads, DanceBody LIVE is a treasure trove with daily live-streamed classes, 400+ on-demand workouts, and a range of wellness content. The best part? You can shimmy and shake from anywhere in the world!
In a nutshell, DanceBody isn’t just a workout; it’s a lifestyle. It’s about unbridled passion, community, and the magic of dance.
