FitSteps®: the new Dance Fitness Phenomenon!
Join Natalie Lowe and Ian Waite of Strictly Come Dancing, the creators of FitSteps® as they take the very best of Ballroom and Latin, mix it with the latest, proven ways to get fit and deliver the most exciting, fun, fabulous fitness experience.
FitSteps® was born in 2013 as the result of a collaboration between two of the UK’s most famous ballroom dancers and Britain’s most successful swimmer! They mixed the graceful steps of Ballroom and the up tempo steps of the Latin dances together to create a fun, energetic and effective way to stay fit and keep trim that would appeal to everyone, even if they couldn’t dance. A dance fitness programme that is ‘so much fun you don’t even realise you’re getting fit!’ It has the potential to make a real and lasting impact on the health of the nation.

FitSteps® is a fitness class, delivered through dance by structuring the classes to deliver real, measurable, fitness results. The programme is based around twelve of the most popular Latin and Ballroom dances and the first class that we’ve launched has elements of six of these dances – Jive, Cha Cha, Samba, Tango, Waltz and Quickstep. The dances are broken down into easily learnable sections and each section is capable of being delivered at varying levels of effort, accommodating people of varying levels of fitness. They appeal to all age ranges and classes can be run for mixed age groups with ease.
FitSteps® also offers dance and fitness professionals the opportunity to learn how to deliver this dance fitness programme, adding another revenue stream to their business and further developing their skills. In addition to this, FitSteps® is dedicated to helping these professionals build profitable and sustainable businesses by offering them marketing support and helping them to continually develop their technical and business building skills through membership of the FitSteps® Academy Network (FAN).
