The Dance Zone’s popular,  sexy/nightclub style cardio classes are back and better than ever with a new instructor, Amber Prowell, and new vibe Wednesdays 7:45-8:45pm. This class will focus on combining sexy choreography and freestyle dance techniques to help tone and build stamina. Done in a nightclub environment with dark lighting and bangin’ beats from Lady Gaga to Beyonce, this class will be “lots of booty, cute and sassy, high energy and upbeat”!

Prowell has been a member of the GoGo Gadgettes, a high energy dance troupe made up of contemporary dancers, hula hoopers, flag and fire spinners since 2007. The Gadgettes perform regularly at Austin’s top nightclubs, music festivals, with many of the world’s top headliners and at major events like the P-Diddy Superbowl After Party.
