What You'll Get
Dancers, like competitive hot-dog eaters, test the limits of the body and gracefully coerce their torsos to express physical endurance and human triumph. Relish muscle molding without relish with today's Groupon: for $29, you get one month of unlimited dance and fitness classes of your choice at the Academy of Performing Arts-San Diego in La Mesa (a $140 value).
The Academy of Performing Arts has cherry-picked its dynamic troupe of instructors from preeminent professional circles, purveying a high grade of terpsichorean teaching and fitness work for all levels of mover and shaker. Reconnect with estranged limbs in a 90-minute session of introductory modern dance or mix gyrating hips into a sensuous, 60-minute salsa class. The academy also features lithe lectures in the traditional moves of Irish and flamenco dancing. Depending on age, children can toddle, teeter, or totter through three levels of ballet classes or work out restlessness with a serving of hip-hop.
Students can incorporate deftly choreographed steps into fitness with Zumba classes, aerobic workouts galvanized by Latin rhythms, or capoeira, a Brazilian dance and martial arts hybrid designed to stun opponents with painfully awkward invitations to slow dance. For a soul-centered experience, physiques can flow through expertly guided sessions in Pilates and yoga. The academy offers a flexible schedule, conducting courses during mornings, evenings, and weekends.
