Body Boutique to host dance-party workout for global youth charity

It’s fun — and a workout?

Yes. It’s called BODYJAM.

It’s a cardio workout where the hottest music is combined with cool dance moves. The emphasis is on fun as much as burning calories.

If you are interested in getting in on the action and even supporting a global charity, then Lawrence’s Body Boutique, 2330 Yale Road, has the event for you.

The women’s fitness center is offering two classes — 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. — on Friday (Jan. 22).

An instructor will teach participants the 55-minute class that requires no dance experience.

It’s open to women only.

The first one is free, and the second one is $5 with all the money benefiting Dance4Life, a global campaign to unite young people to push back HIV and AIDS. All of the money raised goes to Schools4Life.

“It’s going to be like a party atmosphere,” said Tracey English, of Body Boutique. We are going to get a disco ball and the whole red carpet deal. It’s a pretty good time on Friday night.

For more information or to sign up, call the center at 749-2424.

BODYJAM is one of the Les Mills programs that combine music and exercise.
