Get Moving with DanceFIT with AinyFit: Your Questions Answered

If you live in Calmore, Marchwood, Totton, or anywhere near Southampton, let me introduce you to DanceFIT — a fun, friendly, dance-based fitness class that’s perfect for all levels. No prior dance experience required. We run two classes a week locally and we’d love to see you join us.

1. What is DanceFIT with AinyFit?

DanceFIT is a cardio-dance fitness class that uses movement inspired by popular dance styles (like salsa, merengue, flamenco, tango, belly dance, etc.), but at a lower intensity so that it’s accessible to most people. The emphasis is on fun, movement, rhythm, and participating — there's no “wrong move” in our classes. Typical class length: 45 minutes. We also build in benefits like improving balance, range of motion, posture, coordination, and stability.


2. Who is DanceFIT suitable for?

  • Beginners or non-dancers — no coordination or dance experience needed.
  • People returning to exercise after illness, injury, or long breaks.
  • Active older adults who want a fun, low-impact workout.
  • Anyone who wants to get fit while enjoying music and movement, rather than a gym session.
  • We design the class so that every participant can go at their own pace, choosing modifications when needed.


3. Where and when are classes held in Calmore / Marchwood

We currently run two weekly DanceFIT classes near Southampton in these local spots:

  • Monday mornings: Calmore (Calmore Community Centre)
  • Wednesday mornings: Marchwood

Being so local — in Calmore, Totton, Marchwood — means many people from the Southampton area (especially west and New Forest fringes) can easily attend without lengthy travel.


4. How do I prepare for a DanceFIT class?

  • Dress in comfortable activewear (leggings, t-shirt, stretchy clothes).
  • Wear good supportive shoes (ideally sneakers or dance/rhythm shoes with some grip but easy pivot).
  • Bring a water bottle and towel.
  • Arrive a few minutes early so you can settle in and warm up.
  • Don’t worry about “perfect moves” — just move to your comfort level and enjoy.
  • If you have any health concerns, injuries, or physical limitations, tell the instructor before the class starts so we can suggest modifications.

5. What are the benefits of DanceFIT?

  • Cardiovascular fitness — dancing raises heart rate, boosting cardio health.
  • Strength & toning — movements engage core, legs, arms.
  • Balance & coordination — dance naturally helps these.
  • Flexibility & mobility — especially beneficial for older adults.
  • Mental well-being — music, movement, group energy reduce stress.
  • Community & fun — meeting others in your local area (Calmore, Marchwood, Totton) makes it social and motivating.

6. How much does it cost? Can I try before committing?

We offer a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) option and class passes.

You are very welcome to try a free online pre-recorded class to see how it feels. Our aim is to make everyone feel comfortable and part of the group from day one.
