Classes:
Barre – All Levels
Sat. 7/31. Noon – 1:30 PM MDT
$35 for class with recording. | $35 for recording only.
This action packed strength class fuses ballet, pilates, and low-impact weight training all in one. We repeatedly fatigue muscle groups then stretch them out to strengthen and lengthen from head to toe. You push to where you can, honor your body and take rests when you need. Perfect for any and all levels! Are you ready to head to the shake shack and burn some buns together?!
Ages 14+. Equipment: mat or something to lay on, chair or something to hold onto.
Cardio Dance Party – All Levels
Tues. 8/3, 10:00 -11:30 AM MDT
$35 for class with recording. | $35 for recording only.
You just need to dance? Then we got the party for you! This nonstop follow-along class serves sweat and smiles. We’ll shake it to modern songs, latin beats, K-Pop favs, and hip hop grooves. High impact options boost our heart rates and a variety of footwork challenges our coordination; but we’ll be having so much fun we’ll forget we’re working out. No dance experience required, great for all levels!
Ages 14+. Equipment: space to shake what your mama gave you

You’ll never look at a chair the same way again! Elevate your sitting to flip, twist and fly in the middle of your living room.

Then we’ll put it all together in a short fun combo to show off at your next outdoor picnic, family gathering or zoom business meeting! All welcome to join, some experience with going upside down and arm balancing will be useful but not required.

Burlesque Dance (2-part series) – All Levels

We tap into our burlesque showpony fantasies with this 2 part class series. Midnite is Burlesque Hall of Fame’s Miss Exotic World, Queen of Burlesque 2014 and will guide you to bump and grind with the best! We’ll practice dance techniques and dive into burlesque philosophies to spark joy, sensuality, and power. Then we’ll learn a hot dance routine to release our inner divas and live our best showpony lives! But we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Burlesque is all about giving ourselves permission to have fun in our bodies and laugh as we stumble towards “sexy.”
This journey is for all levels and experiences and Midnite strives to provide a safe, welcoming space to come as you are and werk how you please.
Ages 18+. Equipment: literal space to dance, mental space to play, and emotional space to love.
