Dance Diva Sampler

Looking for a fun and fabulous way to high kick your fitness regimen into overdrive? Our Dance Diva Sampler getaway, held in coastal Long Beach, CA  offers many of the dance styles taught in our Dance Diva Booty Camp, as well as some new ones to keep things interesting for our returning dancers.  Instead of taking place over 6 days (as is the case with our camp), this rigorous event runs one wiki weekend with 12 different dance forms taught in 2 days.  

You'll get the chance to try types of dance you've always been interested in, as well as learn about some that may be new to you. Each class includes an informative introduction to the dance style as well as isolation movements specific to the genre and combo steps that will be put together to make up a short routine. Come prepared to sweat and smile and workout like no one's watching! (Price options and discounts listed at the bottom of the page.)  

Sampler getaway includes dance instruction and props required for selected dance forms. We've also suggested types of items you may choose to bring in order to maximize your experience. Note: the dance styles offered here vary slightly from those included in our 6-day Dance Diva Booty Camp. (Extras listed in rose italics: additional meals, accommodations, spa treatments and optional excursions.)

The Night Before (7-10pm): If you are able to soft shoe your way into town the evening before, please  join us for dinner in an atmosphere fit for a diva at la Creperie.
