At DanceBody, we know that strength is the foundation of every movement—and dancers are among the world’s strongest athletes. That’s why we approach strength training differently. Whether you’re a seasoned DanceBody Babe or someone looking to start your fitness routine, DanceBody offers a variety of strength-focused classes and programs to help you achieve functional strength, endurance, and a lean, toned physique.

Why Strength Training is Essential

“Strength training isn’t just about building muscle; it’s about creating a body that moves better,” says Katia Pryce, Founder of DanceBody. “When you focus on building endurance through high repetitions and low resistance, you develop muscles that are strong, lean, and ready to support your body through all kinds of movement.” At DanceBody, strength training improves more than just physical appearance. It enhances posture, alignment, stability, mobility, and flexibility—all while keeping workouts dynamic and fun.

DanceBody offers a range of in-person and live-streamed classes that incorporate strength training, as well as hundreds of on-demand workouts on DanceBody LIVE, so you can build strength on your schedule.

In-Person and Live Classes

• Sculpt +: Using our 8lb HexWeight, this 50-minute class delivers a slow burn that challenges both your body and mind. Expect to tone and condition muscles you didn’t even know you had.

• Dance and Sculpt: This fast-paced class fuses 35 minutes of fun, easy-to-follow dance cardio with 15 minutes of full-body sculpting on our HexMat. It’s the perfect combination of cardio and strength.

• Sculpt: Ideal for beginners, this 50-minute class focuses on dance-inspired sculpt exercises using resistance bands, 2-3lb D-weights, Sculpt Bands, and our HexMat. It’s low-impact but highly effective.

• Sculpt X: Designed to emphasize functional strength as we age, this class uses two 8lb HexWeights and a BodyBand for a full-body workout that creates strong, lean muscle tone.

“Our Sculpt classes are all about targeting muscles in ways that other workouts just can’t,” says Courtnay Mariani, Co-Founder of DanceBody. “It’s a unique combination of functional strength and dancer-inspired precision that leaves you feeling stronger, more aligned, and ready to move.”
