Dancers Shape: Step by Step, Class by Class

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Texas chapter.

This is a sponsored post as part of the “Fit for Summer” Challenge, presented by Dancers Shape and Her Campus Texas.

When you first enter Dancers Shape you are warmly welcomed by the receptionist. Next, your eye is drawn to the great décor that the owner herself took part in creating. The establishment has a fun modern atmosphere from the blown up and saturated pictures of places from good old Austin to the bright colored furniture.  At the first class I attended it was somewhat hard to keep up and take in all the new positions, however the teacher offered everyone assistance when needed and even remembered each of our names. I love this small group exercise environment, as you are given close, hands-on assistance. Jennifer was a great teacher and really made the class fun with her upbeat music and shouts of encouragement. I don’t know about you but I needfast-paced music to keep me going and the individual encouragement from Jennifer was a plus. I was surprised at how every muscle in my body was worked out to its max…nopain no gain! And boy was I in pain both during the class and afterwards, but I still felt energized and look forward to my next class at Dancers Shape. I really want to try the Groove class soon, just to add a bit of variation in my routine. For the first time in a LONG time I feel excited about exercising and really get some good sweating going. I think for a workout to be beneficial you have to sweat and at the Shape class you will sweat, but you will feel SO accomplished afterwards. I am glad I tried out Dancers Shape! It a fun way to get that tone, definition, and lose a few pounds along the way. Swimsuit season is coming and I for one want to look good in my newly purchased bikini.
