“They’ll get it… if they keep coming back.”Ever hear that in a dance fitness class? Yeah, I’ve got some thoughts.

Let’s be real: dance fitness should be fun, empowering, and accessible—not confusing, frustrating, and disjointed. But when you teach to the song structure (you know, intro-verse-chorus-bridge choreography madness), things can go south real fast—for your students and for you.

In this episode, I get fired up about a recent instructor demo that made me pause and ask: Why are we making students work so hard just to feel successful? Why are instructors spending weeks choreographing a single 45-minute class—and getting paid peanuts for it? And why has dance fitness turned into a performance instead of a shared experience?

If you’ve ever felt like your students are playing catch-up—or that you’re prepping like Beyoncé’s backup dancer for a $50 gig—this one’s for you.
