/Dance News Articles/ - MIAMI, FL, July 18, 2007 -- Dancing is a unique form of exercise that is good for the body and mind, providing heart-healthy benefits of aerobic activity combined with the mental stimulation of engaging in a social activity. With the rise of popular dance-inspired television shows such as "Dancing with the Stars" and "So You Think You Can Dance," moving to the beat is the hottest activity this summer and the most stimulating form of exercise. The immense health benefits, coupled with the TV dance craze, have sparked a Dance Your Way Into Shape program at Doral Golf Resort & Spa, a Marriott Resort.

To motivate bodies to get in shape for Florida's eternal bathing suit season, this Miami resort is offering a unique way to cinch waists and stimulate the mind by promoting a series of dance classes.

Led by a former Broadway dancer, Caliente is a "hot" way to stay in shape as the rhythm elements of Latin, funk/hip-hop, Afro Caribbean and Jazz are combined to help guests feel the beat while moving their feet. Step Kick & Jam combines dance and cardio kickboxing routines, offering the best workout while learning some fancy footwork. Offered year-round, both 45-minute classes are intended to help guests get down to their ideal size while learning all the right moves for Miami's hottest night spots.
