Frequently Asked Questions

What is Turn Up™ Dance Fitness?

Turn Up™ Dance Fitness is more than just a workout—it’s a movement designed to help you evolve unapologetically, live loudly, and dance ruthlessly. These sessions combine high-intensity interval training (HIIT), strength training, and dance to create intense, fun, and transformative workouts.

Do I need to have dance experience to join?

Not at all! Our classes are designed for everyone, regardless of dance background. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or stepping onto the dance floor for the first time, you’ll find the sessions accessible and enjoyable.

What type of music is played during classes?

What if I can’t perform certain moves? Are modifications available?

Absolutely. We encourage participants to modify movements as needed. Before each song, we demonstrate variations to accommodate different fitness levels. For example:

• Burpees can be replaced with squats

• Jumping jacks can be modified to step-outs (V stepping)

• Lunges can be adjusted to knee lifts or no lunge jumps

What should I wear to class?

Wear comfortable, breathable clothing that allows for easy movement. Recommended attire includes:

• Athletic shoes with good support and cushioning

• Sports bras that offer comfort and breathability

• Leggings, yoga pants, or shorts made from stretchy materials like spandex or elastane

Is Turn Up™ similar to Zumba?

While both are dance-based fitness programmes, Turn Up™ offers a distinct experience. It’s a HIIT dance class akin to being at a club with friends, dancing and singing along to the tracks. The vibe is energetic and fun, providing a unique and exhilarating workout atmosphere. Be prepared to laugh… and burn up to 500 calories!
