With the success of television show “Dancing with the Stars” people are rushing to join dance classes as a way to get in shape and have a little fun.
“People are looking for alternative fun ways to work out,” says Helen Vanderburg, a spokesperson for the San Diego-based IDEA Health and Fitness Association, and owner of Heavens Fitness, a gym in Calgary, Canada.
“More and more people [at the gym] are interested in doing dance-based classes,” she says. “In the last six months, dance classes are starting to pop up in more clubs.”
