Corporate crunch classes focus on abdominal strengthening and toning through dance inspired movements. Early bird cardio dance is a high-energy, calorie-burning dance class. Dance fusion will fuse a combination of spicy dance genres such as Latin, jazz and modern dance.
"The unique aspect of Arts North is that we are offering a variety of arts-based classes ranging from dance, drama, music and visual arts for both youth and adults. We will also be offering pilates classes," says Burton.
A graduate of York University, Burton majored in dance and holds bachelor degrees in both education and fine arts. Her present interests focus on teaching, choreography and production.
