WHAT IS SHINE LIGHT?

SHiNE LIGHT is a branch of SHiNE Dance Fitness specializing in low-impact and simplified choreography. SHiNE LIGHT uses all the same routines that you will find in SHiNE, but we reduce impact, increase stability and modify the moves to meet the needs of our students. It is a mood-lifting, confidence-boosting experience for anyone needing a more inclusive approach to dance fitness. We believe everyone deserves the FUN that dance provides. Join us! It’s your time to SHiNE!
