Kiwa classes are not your typical dance fitness classes, they are “island style, island time” with a slower, unrushed pace. High energy, high impact movement is replaced with conscious, efficient movement. This translates to a full-body workout that’s adaptable to your abilities and focuses on having fun. Everything is curated to ensure you feel successful sooner rather than later.
We sing, we dance, we laugh out loud. We yell, we clap, we stomp, and we screw up. Just like dancing in your kitchen with friends.
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 10:30 a.m. See the calendar on Facebook.
WHAT MAKES KIWA CLASSES SPECIAL
Classes are small, with a max of 10. You have room to move, and I can ensure you are moving safely. This is a fitness class so every song has a purpose, you just don’t notice it. Movements are gentle on your joints, often with extra transition steps, ensuring you have time to switch sides and stay balanced.
Move at your own pace, dance to your own beat. Songs that will take you around the world and back in time.
To all the “island girls” of any age who find there way here, welcome to the BLOG, where I occasionally (less often than I would like) get to share personal musings and recent wellness news that has crossed my path.
Kiwa Dance Fitness acknowledges with gratitude that we have the opportunity to live, learn, work, and play on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Nations on the island of Nootka (now Vancouver Island).
