As these winter(ish) months continue, I notice myself longing for sunshine, sand between my toes, the sound of waves and tropical music. Anybody else?
I’ve begun choosing songs to dance to that have a spring/summer energy to them — let’s will ALL the warm weather with dance! That’s why “Ulala” by Myke Towers and Daddy Yankee was the perfect choice for my latest Dance Class series.
In this dance workout, we’re targeting the lower back muscles. In my opinion, this is a hard area to hit unless you’re regularly at the gym doing deadlifts and back extensions. Or maybe, if you’re a mom like me, you’re targeting those muscles by cleaning up after your kids all the time, haha. Think: lower back crunches, and you’re ready to go!
Learn To Dance Hip-Hop: 3-Part Series Ft. A Workout, Tutorial + Routine
This week, get into hip-hop class with me and do all three videos. A normal in-person class is an hour long, so come get your booty kicked and your muscles on fire.
In the first video below (the workout), learn the combo while you continue to sweat it out. In the second video (the dance tutorial), transport yourself to the beach, drink in hand. Then, put it all together in our final combo video.
You can easily follow along with the three-part series below, or head on over to The Mom Edit’s YouTube channel to check out even more of my dance videos. We want you to feel like you’re actually in dance class with us — no matter where you may be.
P.S. The lululemon workout set above is the perfect combination of sexy and badass. And I love it. In two of the videos below, I’m wearing these Scuba High-Rise Relaxed Joggers and this Ribbed Asymmetrical Yoga Bra. Put on this outfit, and tell me your dancing doesn’t take on a whole new personality!
Now, let’s get to class…
