Aerobic ethnic dance

ETHNOROBICS (tm)

Dance your way to fitness with exciting live, acoustic music

See a dance class in session!

Active, educational fun for all ages; from 1st Grade up to Seasoned Citizens

“All ages” means we are delighted to invite everyone to join in!

Ethnorobics is a bit like Jazzercize set to an ethnic beat played live on acoustic instruments. You’ll have so much fun that you won’t notice you’re learning about the world and burning calories!

Over the course of an hour, participants learn line and circle dances from many different cultures.

To enroll call (847) 864–1022 between 10 AM and 10 PM C.S.T.

The fast-paced Gypsy and Klezmer dances as well as great traditional party dances from Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, Russia, Denmark, Sweden, French-Canada, and elsewhere will, for sure, work up a real, honest sweat!

Tempo is everything and so slower paced dances are also done giving dancers some breathing space without bringing the heart rate down to resting levels.

Multiple sites

We offer classes at many locations: Chicago’s Lincoln Square, Chicago’s Rogers Park, Long Grove, and Evanston.

If you’d like to move your body to energetic acoustic music, but none of these times / locations fit your schedule, contact us to find out how to arrange a class just for you at a time and place convenient to you! The Hi-Dukes love these dances and so are out there On The World Beat to bring them to you.
