WHAT TO EXPECT IN CLASS
Come dressed in whatever lets you move freely, while feeling comfortable (both mentally & physically!) Our dance and fitness classes cover a wide range of techniques and styles. All classes begin with a fun warm up to loosen your limbs and get you in the zone!
Our fitness classes like FitBEAT and Peaches & Scream are inspired by dance and movement. We get your heart rate up with easy-to-follow grooves in high intensity intervals and get you that targeted burn with body conditioning exercises. All set to the best tunes and a whole lot of hype.
Our specialised dance classes (JazzBEAT, BashmentBEAT and StrutBEAT Heels) include a segment of going over techniques and foundation steps so you gain a better understanding of the dance style. The rest of the class will consist of learning the choreography, bit by bit, which will build over the course of the class. The end of the class will be your opportunity to dance it out with the love and support of your cheering #AYBFam!
Both classes will challenge you and leave you feeling like your best self.

Wellness Acupuncture and Multi Bed Clinic
Our clinic offers affordable acupuncture treatments and gives access to quality care for those who can’t afford the regular prices.
The low price allows for more frequent treatments as it is often necessary to have acupuncture once a week for a period of time in order to get the best long-lasting results. If you only have a few treatments, or your treatments are too infrequent, acupuncture may not be able to build up the momentum for the healing that you seek. Our practitioners are highly qualified and fully insured.
The clinic operates on Monday and Friday from 11 – 6pm
and on Saturday & Sunday 11am – 5pm
