We Are DanceBody

Dance Workouts That Work

Meet the dance workout created by hard-working people, for hard-working people. Established in 2013 by Katia Pryce, this company was founded out of pure demand for fun, effective, and community-oriented dance cardio and sculpt classes.

DanceBody organically developed a devoted following in New York City. From there, the classes quickly expanded to Miami, Los Angeles, and The Hamptons. Part of the mission to bring dance fitness to everyone was actualized in 2016 when the online platform, DanceBody LIVE, launched.

The tight-knit team of dancers-turned-instructors lead with compassion while challenging their classes to move and think differently. Clients that thrive at DanceBody embrace the learning curve of dance workouts, and are better for it. 

DanceBody doesn’t just affect the body, it has a profound impact on your mind, energy, and confidence, proving once and for all that the most important measurement is how you feel. Meet the team that keeps moving, day after day. You’re ready.

GRIT. COMMUNITY. HEALTH. DANCE.

  • We dance in a C.I.R.C.L.E

    Community: We keep moving together, no matter what.

    Inclusion: We invite you in as you are; there are no dividing lines on this dance floor.

    Respect: We believe it starts with ourselves, and radiates outward.

    Commitment: We build a strong foundation through consistency, and it feels good.

    Love: We lead with it, work with it, and move with it always.

    Empathy: We embrace the ability to feel outside of ourselves, and proceed with compassion.

  • Our Vision

    We believe in earned confidence stemming from a consistent routine that builds to excellence. From day one, DanceBody has created quality dance workouts that change with you.  

    We disregard stereotypes about who a dancer is and focus on what a dancer is – strong, athletic, and committed to a life built on merit. 

    You don’t need to BE a dancer to BE a DanceBody: we’re athletes not spectators; a community vs. individuals; we do it vs. say it; we perform vs. pose. And above all else, we know that the show must always go on. 

    The tremendous workout from dancing is secondary only to the way it feeds our hearts and minds. It feels really damn good to improve the quality of our lives through powerful movement. Together, as a group, we will always Keep Moving.
