New Routine - Saturday, September 6th

We have a new routine for you!  Please join us in class this Saturday, September 6th at 10:30am as we start class with our new routine. The song?  It's Gold by Britt Nicole.

We'll all learn it together, then continue class starting with the Learn The Moves song of the day ("Hands In the Air"). Don't miss it!

Last LTM - Saturday, September 6th

This Saturday, September 6th at 9:30am will be our last Learn The Moves class. The popular new Tribe program is expanding to offer Saturday classes in the upstairs room, so we will no longer be able to use it for our class. Please join Sommer and Alie upstairs in the Personal Training space across from the Tribe room. They will  be breaking down the steps for Hands In the Air by Timbaland, featuring Ne-Yo.

Moving forward, we would like to design something new that can utilize the main Group-X room. So, please come to us with your thoughts and ideas for breaking down routines as we brainstorm over the next few months. So far, ideas include: using time in the main Saturday class for quick breakdowns, offering a LTM class after the main Saturday class, offering a new beginners dance attack class of easy routines and some breakdown of steps.  Please let us know your preference or additional ideas by commenting on this post, or speak with any Dance Attack instructor after class. We need to hear from you!

Welcome Alie Trainor!

We are excited to welcome Alie to our Dance Attack instructor team. She brings many years of experience and a fun, motivating personality. Please get to know her as she begins her training with us. You will soon see her team-teaching with us in class, plus helping out with Learn The Moves while Sommer is on maternity leave. Here's a little background on Alie below. Welcome to the team Alie!

Allison “Alie” Trainor comes to us from southern California where she competed on her dance studio’s competition team for almost 10 years.  She’s danced at conventions and competitions including Company Dance, Dupree, Hollywood Vibe, and New York City Dance Alliance (NYCDA).  Her passion for dance and academics took her to Amherst, Massachusetts, where she completed a Bachelor of Arts with a concentration in Biomedicine and Dance Education.  While in college, she travelled on scholarship with Hollywood Vibe and performed with Alvin Ailey II for a special dance performance.  After graduation, her first position with the Center for Arts in Medicine at the University of Florida relocated her to Gainesville. Since then, she has served in a variety of positions with Shands Hospital, the UF Area Health Education Center (AHEC) program, and is now the Research Program Coordinator for the Southern HIV & Alcohol Research Consortium (SHARC) in the Department of Epidemiology at UF.  In her spare time, Alie enjoys running, staying involved with her church (Gainesville Christian Church), and leading HOPE worldwide – Gainesville Chapter – with her husband, Joey.  She is thrilled to be joining the Dance Attack team at Gainesville Health and Fitness Center, and is honored to be a part of such a fun and talented group of "dancers"!
