The AAMC Ballroom is temporarily closed
Attention AAMC dancers and supporters! This is such a difficult update, but I wanted to let all of you know our beloved ballroom suffered extensive water damage in the recent storm. As a result, the ballroom will be closed for a while. My heart is broken, but please know there is a wonderful crew working around the clock to take care of it.
So what does this mean for classes? We will update our schedule below as quickly as possible. Some instructors are currently on break anyway, others are choosing to hold classes in alternate locations including the Liberty Theater McTavish, Elks Lodge, Consejo Hispano, and Encore in Warrenton. We will post updates on this page and our Facebook page as we get them, but when in doubt please contact the instructor directly to verify. We can’t thank those that have offered up their spaces so that we can all keep dancing enough. This is community coming together, and the AAMC will never forget that we wouldn’t be here without you.

Join Coach Keith for HIIT Sculpt! HIIT Sculpt is a mat based, bare foot, highly intentional, and fast-paced, full body workout that will get your heart pumping, sweat flowing and leave you oh so sore in the best way! Each class consists of an extensive warm-up to open up and ready your body to move, as well as fire up your smaller muscle groups (core, glutes, hips, hamstrings, quads, IT Band and more). The meat of each HIIT Sculpt class has 8(ish) x 4(ish) minute interval sets focused on working different muscle groups and getting your body moving in multiple planes to support daily movement patterns. HIIT sculpt utilizes props such as bands, straps, balls, etc. (provided). Cardio is thrown in to make this a real burner! Cool-down stretches provided at the end of class.
What to bring: Water bottle, sweat towel, yoga mat
Ages 16+ only, drop-ins always welcome
First class is free, then $10 per class. Venmo: Keith-Lewis-4 or cash at time of class. 5 class punch card available for $40. Expires after 1 year (non-refundable)
