January News From
Studio 180 Dance
We can't believe it's 2010! First of all, Happy New Year! To celebrate the New Year, we want to remind you of all of our new programs. Some, like our Boot Camps, are geared to keeping you smiling and fit. Others, like our Day Off Dance Camps, are to assist you in any way we can. Also, though it seems far away, our year-end recital is going to creep up on all of us! With extra rehearsals, costumes and pictures, we are so excited to watch our dancers shine onstage. Even though we have the recital to plan and think about, we are still welcoming new students. Classes in the studio are filling and time is closing in on the recital, so register today. See you in the studio!
Open House
 
On Saturday, January 16, come and invite friends to visit the Studio for a tour and a chance to see behind the scenes in one of our classes. This is a great opportunity to scope out which classes are right for you and to see all the Studio has to offer. 
Day-Off Dance Camps
 
Our first two day-off dance camps were a success in November! We are excited to offer you more dates matching the Anne Arundel School System's calendar. These are days when students have no school but many parents are still required to be at work. Instead of getting a babysitter, you can send them over to Studio 180 for a fun-filled day of dance, choreography and movies!

Here are our upcoming dates:

January 25th & 26th
February 15th
May 27th & 28th

Preregister now! And for more information, visit our website.
 
Dance Boot Camps

No time to work out? Difficulties committing to a long term exercise program? We have three new workoutsdesigned just for you. Each is a three week session, two before the workday begins and one during lunch; all three taught by certified Zumba® and Aerialinstructors. Register now as space is limited!

3 Week Zumba® Boot Camp
For those who have no time in their day but would like to kick their metabolism into gear before heading to work, try our Zumba® Boot Camp. From 7-8 am Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, Studio 180 offers 3 week Zumba® Boot Camps. Rolling registration for the 3 week, 9 class boot camp costs $180.

Zumba® MidDay DanceAway

Join us for a 3 week, 9 class, MidDay DanceAway session, Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 12-1 pm to dance away the stress. How better to put the pressures of work in perspective than Zumba® in the middle of the day! Cost is $180.

Zumba® & Aerial Boot Camp
As we all know, one of the most often made (and forgotten) New Year's resolutions is to regain or improve fitness. Studio180 wants to help you to keep that resolution and have fun doing it! We will offer our New Year's Boot Camp: Zumba® and Aerial Dance! Zumba® class is a dance party that works your body, provides high caloric expenditure, and extreme lower body strengthening. Aerial dance is much more of an upper body workout that you will want to brag about to your friends. Participants will quickly notice body toning and an increase in cardio endurance, core and all over muscle strength, flexibility and, especially,self-esteem!
 
Rolling registration for our three week resolution boot camp, starting January 2010, costs $200 and will be offered 3 days a week (Mon, Wed, Fri) from 7-8 am.The classes alternate each day from Zumba® to aerial. Sign up today. We have gift certificates you may purchase for your friends.

Know a friend or family member who wants to tone their body too? Make boot camp a gift and dance your way to fitness with a partner!

Register today, by calling 410.268.5299 or stopping by the studio. Payment is due in full at time ofregistration. There is no registration fee.

Dance Hard, Dance Strong Adult Fitness Challenge©
Applying the same fitness tenets as used in ourperformance program, our Dance Hard/Dance Strong© Fitness Challenge is an adult fitness program challenging adults to become more fit, coordinated, and healthy.The rules of the program are simple. Participants who accept the fitness challenge must meet a weekly goal of three hours of sustained physical dance activity at the studio each week. Participants may choose among Adult Classes in Zumba, Aerial, Conditioning, Jazz, Modern, Hip Hop, Tap, and Ballet. To meet program requirements each week, participants are required to take Zumba and Aerial; the third required class at the studio, per week, is their choice. The program begins with a health profile, followed by a check-in at three weeks, and ends with an assessment session. What better way to tone up, increase strength, balance, and flexibility than the pure fun of dance. Participants in the program attend classes at a reduced rate also. Each Fitness Challenge session lasts six weeks. Unlike our adult classes, our six week sessions are not available to drop ins. Fitness Challenge students register for a full six week program.
