Hey I’m Mia! First things first, I want you to know that I don’t take myself very seriously. My dance secret is 90% commitment 10% talent. I’m a self taught dancer who learned to dance in my bedroom by imitating full grown drunk adults on MTV’s spring break. No dance classes, just me at 10 years old dancing in my room to the foam parties of the 90’s!I call my class 'Dance Therapy' for a few reasons
A) feeling your feelings while you dance is encouraged - not in a super sappy way, more like a 'let it all go' sorta way.
B) The endorphin release you get when you combine ecstatic movement and high quality cardio set to colorful music is truly unmatched.
C) sweating profusely is like your whole body having a good cry!It will clear your mind and free your bod! And not only can you expect to burn upwards of 700 calories a class, but -sorry to tell ya- you'll probably have fun while you're doin' it.Really my ultimate goal is tricking your brain into thinking you are just having a chill time channeling your inner teen when in actuality you are HARDCORE WORKING OUT :)
Q's and A's
Q- WHAT IS THIS CLASS?!
A- ‘Mia Moves Me’ is a full-out / light-hearted 60 minute workout! You’ll get a versatile blend of high powered cardio + toning that's all hidden inside the pretty package of DANCE. We move to an array of dance species (pop, jazz funk, hip-hop, latin, to name a few) set to an eclectic mix of great music. There will be much sweat and laughter. Turn your brain off, turn your body on and dance to fun songs. If you are not 14 you will feel 14 again but like, a 14 year old with the life experience of a grown ass adult.Q- Is this a beginner class or do you have to be a real dancer?
A- All people and all dance levels are welcome. Truly a zero pressure environment! Just fun moves in an easygoing follow-along format. You can modulate the intensity according to your needs and fitness level. It's been described as a perfect go between of a gym style Zumba class and a Millennium workshop. Whether you exclusively dance in your bedroom or are a profesh dancer I think you likey:)Q- Are you the kind of teacher that makes it really high stakes for no reason and/or runs around yelling at people?
A - NO. NO. and also NO. I'm a nice person and I want you to enjoy yourself and naturally be into this! I myself will be taking it quite seriously because of who I am as a person and hope you “commit to the bit” with me (ie: go full out and have a great time/great workout) But you are in charge. You paid for this and this is your time. You do you baby!Q- What kind of music do you play?
A- We dance to the likes of NF, Lizzo, PSY, J Balvin, Ariana Grande, LSD, Demi Lovato, Macklemore, Tones and I, Sisqo, Fifth Harmony, Sia, Yellowclaw, Hozier, and much much more! The music is eclectic and good, promise. Check out the ‘Mia Moves Me’ Spotify Playlist! (click on little Spotify icon when you get to that part in the website)Q- Do you have other instructors teach the classes sometimes?
A- Like Danny Devito says to Rhea Pearlman, "It's me or nobody!"
($100 if you know what that's from)Q- Will I sweat?
A- Oh hunty you will SWEAT. And more than just salt and water! You will walk away feeling lighter emotionally too. Tis’ science. Come for the workout, stay for the emotional release! Dance Therapy > regular therapyQ- What should I bring/wear/do before class?
A- I suggest water, a small towel, and wear something you can move freely and feel good in! Sneakers are a must. I also recommend not eating 1-2 hours before class, It’ll weigh ya down. A small snack before for energy would be great though! Also try to get in a 'go with the flow' mindset. The less you overthink, the more fun you'll have and the better your workout will be!Q- How much for a class?
