Dance Cardio for All Levels: Take 2

Partnership with DukeCreate & DuWell

Taught by Courtney Liu

About the Workshop

Join us for this “Take 2” workshop if you didn’t get a chance to attend the Dance Cardio event on 4/6.  Feel free to come again if you want to try out your new moves one more time!

In this workshop learn some basic dance moves that are simple, uplifting, and safe to do in your home or dorm room. A Spring playlist strings together these moves in a guaranteed workout for your heart and your soul. Join us to ignite your creativity, celebrate the end of the semester, and boost your physical and mental health!

Note:  This event is open to the entire Duke Community.

If more than one person will be participating, ensure adequate space to avoid contact with other participants. It is your responsibility to use personal judgment concerning the degree of your participation in the activities, and to determine that you are in proper physical condition to participate in such activities.
