Latin Flair at Equinox Fitness in South Beach

muscle1-200.jpgEquinox Fitness Clubs, the upscale full-service fitness facilities located in Coral Gables and South Beach, will be launching two new classes, inspired by the sultry movie El Cantante starring Jennifer Lopez and husband, Marc Anthony.  

Café Con Leche (El Cantante Style) offers a sexy dance class with a splash of El Cantante! A dance class that has the best of both worlds – hot Latin rhythms and great American tunes – will help participants burn some serious calories. Learn salsa, meringue, hip-hop, disco dances and more… if Marc and JLo are doing it, shouldn’t you?

Café Con Leche is taught by Jojo Vela at the South Beach Equinox location. Jojo is a top instructor at Equinox and a leader in the South Florida fitness industry. Known for his fun and accessible choreography and performance-based dance classes in the Miami, Jojo created this wildly popular class to infuse the traditional dance class with a little Latin flavor.

Zumba (A la Héctor Lavoe) is a high-energy dance workout brought directly from the chaotic streets of Rio De Janeiro during Carnival. Shake your booty to the beats of Héctor Lavoe with steps and movement borrowed from the classic Latin dance styles. Zumba is taught by Erick Santana, a highly-skilled Latin dance expert and dance choreographer at Equinox. He is certified as a Zumba Dance Instructor and has showcased his abilities at events all over the world. Erick’s charismatic energy, and contagious charisma combined with diverse fusions of Latin, Caribbean and Hip-Hop fusion promises to dance his audience into shape.

Salsa, Groove & Move – Shake your booty like Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony! Join us for a high energy Latin dance workout with steps and movements borrowed from the classics like the Samba and Meringue combined and performed to hot Latin music, including all the big Héctor Lavoe hits. Make your body sizzle and temperature rise!

Salsa, Groove & Move is taught by Lisa Lorene, who has been dancing almost since she could walk! Her love of dancing and especially Latin dancing, is apparent when she leads participants through this high-energy, fat-burning workout.
