One of the things that I have wanted to do this year is go out of my comfort zone. It started in January when I decided to “try out” for a chance to dance with Madonna. I didn’t make it to the final, but I gained new friends and discovered the joys of cardio dance. So it seemed like the obvious next step when my gym Hard Candy in Toronto offered a 8-week Dance workshop for its members. I was in yet another transition period of my life, so I figured why not!

The 8 Dance Workshops that I was about to embark on!

I was not sure what to expect, but I was not only was it a great workout, it was probably more fun than I have ever had at the gym. Did I look ridiculous – absolutely, but never once did I revet doing these classes. Prior to this I have never heard of Wacking or never thought that I would be taking a Dancehall class, but here I was. I was only sad knowing that after this Sunday they were all done.

The instructors are professional dancers in the Toronto community,along with being HCFT instructors  and they could have not been better to learn from. It was also great to lean that these workshops will hopefully be added to the regular class schedule.

Out of all 8 workshops Dancehall and Wacking were my favourites. The 90 minutes flew by and I didn’t even realize that I had been working out.  I never would have thought that would be doing this, but it has been a fantastic experience.

As I am writing this I keep wondering what my next activity is I should try. I mean if I could attempt Burlesque I could try anything. It’s all about steeping out of your comfort zone and try something new!
