Event Overview
JCC 20s & 30s is hosting this Silent Disco Danceprov to kick off their Hip Fitness series!
We're forgoing the boombox and syncing up music on our iPhones in this special Silent Disco Danceprov. Danceprov is a dance party that uses dance improv games and lip-syncing to create collaborative, interactive dancing. Creative drills will prompt you to move on your own terms and synergistically with participants.
The result: an extraordinary freestyle dance party that looks choreographed. Experience real play and forget that you're exercising.
All levels of fitness and dance abilities welcome.
Rain location: JCC Heller, 524 W. Melrose, Chicago

Shaily H.Reviewed on 08/17/14"This class was amazing. As someone who was traumatized in gym class for not being able to complete enough laps, this class was the best therapy. The class allowed me to push myself without having to feel like I was competing with others. I can be at my own level and the only person to know what that was is me. But thats besides the point. The class allows every participant to be creative and lead the dancing. Having others follow me is quite empowering. I also had infinite giggles at all our crazy moves. I had so much fun that the stress of working out never crossed my mind. Its definitely the only workout I have seen to date that incorporates so much humor. I see big things to come. "

I absolutely loved Danceprov! Fitness. It was exhilarating, and sometimes hilarious, to dance and move with abandon in the beautiful Northshore Sculpture Park. Dash led our group through a series of super-creative drills that propelled us forward on the nature path, with great music pulsing through a rolling sound system. Danceprov! was a killer workout, but so much fun, it just felt like playing!

The concept of Danceprov Fitness is very new to me since I like to stick to my regular workout routine. It was a great way to break free and try something more creative while having fun. You can make the class into what you want as Dash designed for all ages and levels of fitness. I biked 15 miles right before the class; it was a great way to stretch and help my muscles. Looking forward to one of the next classes!

Danceprov Fitness was exactly what I was looking for: A chance to get fit, and be creative, outdoors with fun and interesting people. It can be as intense or as low impact as you want. And you can even make special music requests in advance if you have a tune you're just dying to dance to. I was able to expand my range of movement and let my creativity go free all while staying in my target zone.

Dashie is a very creative soul who made everyone feel welcome. The dancing was organic and fun, and great people attended. Everyone was open and accepting, regardless of your fitness level. This was a lot of fun, great exercise, and I hope to do it again soon!
