Top Holiday and New Year Dance Picks from James & Alex Dance Studios

** New courses, more drop-in classes and workshops ** 

Dubai, Sunday 14th December 2014: Jazz up your fitness routine with a regular dose of dance! The New Year is the perfect time to try something new at James & Alex with a world class facility on your doorstep! Dancing is a great way to exercise without really knowing it and classes are open to all with no previous experience needed.

Whether it’s smoking, unhealthy eating, or an uncontrollable temper, dancing provides a positive outlet to replace those unhealthy habits we’d rather leave behind in 2014. With the New Year comes a clean slate to draw up long-term lifestyle changes, and trying a new fitness activity is one great way to start, not to mention to shed those extra pounds that you may have picked up over the festive period.

Here are a few fun possibilities to get you on the road to fitness in the New Year:

BALLROOOM 4-WEEK COURSE - Starts 4th January 2015 

Get off to a classy start in the New Year with a monthly ballroom course! Learn a variety of dances in just 4 weeks, no partner or previous experience required. It's a great way to have fun, exercise, meet new people and develop a skill that you will use & enjoy throughout your life. Learning how to ballroom dance can enrich your life beyond anything you ever imagined. Starting Sunday, 4th January (for 4 weeks) at 7-8pm and priced at AED 280. 

SALSA 4-WEEK COURSE - Starts 6th January 2015

The perfect way to meet new people, stay fit and learn a new skill! That’s three things ticked off your resolution list already. Salsa is a feeling, a passion, danced with sensuality and style, from the gut, and with love for rhythm and music. Each dance is a new story of meeting one another. And just like a good conversation, it becomes an interaction of leading, following and playing. James & Alex don't just simply teach you how to dance Salsa steps and then move you into more tricky sequences… They totally immerse you in the contagious energy and true passion of this rhythm.

The next courses start on the following dates:

Salsa Level 1 (for absolute beginners) begins Tuesday 6th January at 8pm and Saturday 10th January at 5pm. Cost: AED 250 for classes once a week or AED 385 for twice a week
