You know that guy that is always running on the treadmill, or the one that is in the weight room every day? Wouldn’t it be fun to pull him into your class for once?  Chris Freytag and I talk about getting the “athletic minded extroverts” into our classes. By allowing our participants the freedom to move without paying attention to choreography, we can attract those that would never ever consider coming to a “dance class”. Chris calls it organized chaos. Join us as we talk about the athletically inspired class and how to execute it. You can learn more about Chris at her website: chrisfreytag.com and please contact me: amyjo@groupfitnessradio.com. I would love to hear from you!
