🎻 CLASSICAL CARDIO: Bach it Like it's Hot!

Who says Bach can't bring the booty-shaking?!

Get ready for classical music like you've never experienced it before! Body Positive Dance Fitness is teaming up with Portland's Classical Uprising to bring you a one-of-a-kind dance fitness experience that combines the glorious music of Johann Sebastian Bach with the infectious energy, creativity, and downright silliness of The Happiest Workout in Maine!

We're talking strings that stretch you out, brass that brings the beat, and timpani built for the burn!

Our fabulous BPDF instructor team is putting its own spin on the classics with fun, easy-to-follow choreography inspired by everything from Zumba and hip-hop to TurnUp and old-school aerobics.

And no, you do NOT need to know how to do ballet. In fact, we're pretty sure Bach would appreciate a little hip-shaking, a few jazz hands, and the occasional enthusiastic WOOOO!

Expect beautiful music, unexpected moves, lots of laughter, and a workout that's every bit as joyful as it is unique.

No dance experience required. No fancy footwork. No judgment. Just come as you are, move your body, and have a ridiculously good time!

This special collaboration celebrates the work of Classical Uprising, a Portland-based nonprofit making classical music more accessible, engaging, and exciting for everyone.

Classical Cardio also offers a joyful introduction to Bach's magnificent Christmas Oratorio, which Classical Uprising will perform on November 7 and 15 in Portland and Brunswick.

Come as you are. Leave happier.  Bach would approve. 🎻💃
