Retro Dance Class Could Spawn DVD
13 Aug, 2009 By: Billy GilA friend just sent me this from the New York Times: A dance class here in Los Angeles (well, Silver Lake, more specifically) in which participants don Lycra, legwarmers and headbands and dance to ’80s, electro and indie tunes may end up as a DVD. Hey, sickly hipsters need to maintain their svelte physiques, too.
The class, Sweaty Sundays, is taught by choreographer/dancer/designer Ryan Heffington and takes place at Foresight Studios every Sunday around 11:40 a.m. The class attracts the likes of artists, photographers and others who need every last part of their lifestyle to be a “thing.” This reminds me a little of the Never Mind Aerobics Here's Punk Rope DVD E1 Entertainment recently released.
Don’t laugh: Fitness titles are one of the cornerstones of this industry. And I’m glad it’s coming out on DVD — with only 50 slots a class, it’s doubtful most of us in the area will ever snap on the spandex and get a chance to show our stuff.
