The skilled instructors at Capital MissFits' 2,200-square-foot studio aid workout pupils in their quests to dance and shed pounds with pole fitness sessions and drop-in workout classes scheduled six days a week. During three levels of pole fitness, dance gurus guide both beginner and seasoned pupils through floor work, spins, and skillful inversions once only possible by wearing marionette pants. Dancers in the 60-minute Essential class learn the basics of holds, spinning, and climbing, all while helping strengthen the core and upper body. The one-hour Intermediate session adds inverts and more difficult spins, and Advanced sessions transform students into pole masters during an extended 90-minute class. Dancers can further hone their skills during free unsupervised pole sessions in the studio.

Alternatively, detach from metallic beams to stretch toes in a Turbo Kick fitness class that melds kickboxing with simple dance moves in a challenging one-hour cardio course that can potentially burn up to 700 calories. Zumba workouts draw dancers in with Latin rhythms, accessible dance steps, and a desire to use feet for something other than smashing sand castles. Various Zumba sessions target either adults alone or the tapping toes of the entire family.
