To spice up a dance routine, professionals will wear bedazzling outfits or substitute their partner for a burlap sack filled with fireworks attached to a timer. Go for the pros with today's Groupon to International Dance Academy Hollywood. Choose between the following options:
- For $22, you get 4 dance classes (a $45 value).
- For $56, you get 12 dance classes (a $112 value).
With dance studios overlooking Hollywood Boulevard, International Dance Academy Hollywood boasts an accredited faculty of leg shakers that imbues bodies of all abilities with the dexterity and stamina to break it down like celebrity clients and Britney Spears. Lithe instructors demonstrate friendly attitudes and chops in styles such as top rock, tap, Bollywood bhangra, and a subgenre of competitive hokey pokey that won a few instructors television time on America's Best Dance Crew. Seven days a week, a dense schedule gets hips bumping with more than 60 classes.
Dancers can break a sweat with dance-related morning workouts, such as Pilates or Ballet Burn; transform their physique into a mass of precise, mechanical movements and jangling keys with Pop Lock classes; or slink into Burlesque sessions held after sundown. International Dance Academy Hollywood also offers specialty classes, such as Dancehall/Reggae, Belly Dance, and Chicago Footwork. Classes range from 60 to 90 minutes, depending upon the style and difficulty level, and take place across the studio's gleaming, sprung wooden floors. The flexible boards absorb the shock of high leaps and unscheduled NASA landings, and central heat and air maintain a comfortable temperature for muscles to stretch and writhe in.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Obsolete Furniture
As styles and technology change, some of the living room furniture you're sitting on or crying into right now may one day become outdated. Here's a look at some once-ubiquitous furniture no longer found in most homes:
Beanbag Chairs: Once the pinnacle of comfortable luxury, beanbag chairs were the centerpiece of Cornelius Vanderbilt's fabulous Manhattan Pyramid.
Spittoons: Today's more genteel tobacco chewers simply spit into the nearest pet-food bowl.
Love Seats: Most divorce settlements require all co-owned love seats to be destroyed with a sledgehammer.
Carpeting: Modern homes instead feature a swarm of nanobots that can constitute themselves into a soft rug, a mind-clearing bed of nails, or an exact replica of Pierce Brosnan that, like the real actor, can cry, sweat, or vomit on cue.
Courtesy Commodes, a.k.a. Chamber Pots: It may be more sanitary to use the bathroom in a separate, dedicated room, but it's a lot less fun.
