A dance class can teach anyone to move with grace through bee attacks, while getting served in front of a blind date, or during mega-prom. Achieve confident feet with today's Groupon: for $10, you get your choice of two burlesque aerobics, hip-hop, or ballroom dance classes at Rhythm N Motion in Hoover (a $20 value).

Rhythm N Motion fetes shimmying strut masters and boogying beginners alike with its high-energy adult dance classes, in which you can bust moves in a supportive and fun environment. Burn calories and mold muscles Tuesdays from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. with Burlesque Strip Aerobics, a total-body workout that emphasizes fun, flirtation, and fitness set to old-school jazz music. The class doffs its dapper cap at the tease element of strip keeping students comfortable and fully clothed. The Tuesday evening 6–7 p.m. timeslot ushers in Hip-Hop Fusion, which engages abs and extremities in rhythmic sweat sessions useful for cardio development and stockpiling moves for future DDR-based job interviews. Thursday evening Ballroom 101 classes sate steppers and swayers with a variety of dances, regularly featuring the social swirls and soulful shakes of the tango, hustle, waltz, foxtrot, and wolfgallop performed with or without a partner from 7 to 8 p.m.

The owners of the studio are also the founders of the Vulcan Performers professional dance organization, which has lived long and prospered through myriad professional shows. For years, they and the staff of friendly instructors have been honing Birmingham's moves into the shiniest, smoothest cylinders ever to grace engine blocks.
