SOSA Dance Fitness

At the heart of our world and our SOSA family is the one, the only and the original dance fitness class – low impact and high energy!

We begin each class by going straight into a beautiful dancer’s warm-up to prepare your body for what follows next… as you dance around the world with a playlist and combination of routines that is as unique as you and your instructor, from our special SOSA choreography hub.

You could be dancing everything from an Argentine Tango to a Brazilian Zouk, a Cha-Cha-Cha to a Viennese Waltz, Salsa to Jive, Calypso to Quickstep, Rumba to Rock n’ Roll… plus many, many more!

And, because it’s SOSA, you just as easily be dancing to iconic songs sung by the legendary likes of Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Tina Turner, Ricky Martin and The Jacksons, to the most beautiful authentic Latin beats, right up to today’s hottest artists like Mark Ronson, Clean Bandit, Ed Sheeran, Daniel Santacruz and Marc Anthony – all in one class!

Your SOSA Dance Fitness instructor will walk you all through the key steps before dancing each routine, so you’ll start learning and developing your technique right away. Then, every time you SOSA after that, you will feel yourself getting more into the rhythm of the dance and that you’re achieving more out of every beat!

Each and every step that you take, along with arms and body styling, is authentic to the original dance style – with a sassy SOSA twist. There are plenty of progressions and adaptations throughout the class too, so that everyone – from beginner to the more experienced dancer – gets the best SOSA experience.

At the end of the class, we dance to either one or two gorgeous cool-down tracks, depending on the pace and length of your class (45mins to one hour) with lots of wonderful slow dance stretches to relax your muscles and make you feel good long after it’s all over… until the next time!

Simply SOSA Dance Fitness

Simply SOSA Dance Fitness has been created especially for those who are able to stand for a dance class, but require the additional support of a crutch, frame or a chair for balance… to act as their ‘dance partner’!

This exciting and innovative new programme has been developed during lockdown, because we understand that it is very beneficial for those who are able to stand to take part in a dance class, to be able to continue doing so.

We have been trialling this programme with several large organisations, and within our current instructor base nationwide, in various community/care settings for the past twelve months.

THIS MAKES SOSA A FULLY INCLUSIVE DANCE PROGRAMME ON EVERY LEVEL

Simply SOSA Dance Fitness uses the same ethos as SOSA, and Seated SOSA Dance Fitness, as an authentic international dance class incorporating 37 dance styles from around the globe.

There are many reasons why people may require extra support or a balance aid during exercise, especially older adults, those with long-term health conditions and  disabilities.

However, this also includes anyone recovering from injuries, recent surgery, and as part of a physiotherapy, rehabilitation programme and requiring a re-introduction to exercise.

You all get to have a great time, exercise and learn something new whilst you spend quality, unstressed, time together.
