Get Out of Your Comfort Zone Through Dance Workouts Classes

Get Out of Your Comfort Zone Through Dance Workouts Classes

We know that when people dance past their comfort zone, they often encounter incredible personal growth, along with some of life’s most rewarding experiences. This is where you meet new people, pursue new interests, and discover new passions. 

As veteran Jazzercise instructor Toni Pitruzzello points out, “The thing about the comfort zone is that it can also be called “the complacent zone” or “the no growth zone”.  But, we don’t have to get extreme to get outside our comfort zone and find profound growth. Even ONE step outside our comfort zone can be deeply meaningful and transformative.” 

If you’re interested in trying dance workout classes but feel hesitant to sign up, we get it. You should know that Jazzercise group fitness classes offer a safe, supportive space to get out of your comfort zone with dance. We show you (quite literally!) how to confidently strut beyond your fears, insecurities, and anxieties to reach your fitness goals and discover your full potential. 

Whether you join us in-studio or online, you will quickly experience the total-body health perks of our signature dance cardio and strength classes. No matter which dance workout class you sign up for, you WILL sweat, strengthen, and smile — trust us! 

Understanding Your Comfort Zone

While your comfort zone provides a cozy cocoon, it may also prevent you from experiencing new opportunities. Remaining in this safe space can limit self-growth, lead to regrets, and lower self-confidence. You may even falsely believe you can’t succeed at new activities. 

As Toni says, “We don’t have to sacrifice growth or magic at any stage of life. So… stay curious. Take a risk. Have an adventure. Embrace the magic. Revel in the transformation. Step out of your comfort zone and into your growth zone.”

If you’re struggling to break free of your comfort zone, it might be helpful to identify why. Are you anxious about making mistakes? Do you fear criticism? Is it stressful when others are better at something? Or is it something else entirely? 

Whatever is holding you back, finding a judgment-free space to try new things (including dance workout classes!) can help. To get started, look for an activity just a little beyond your comfort zone. This can build up your self-confidence and launch you towards even broader ventures. 

If coming to an in-person Jazzercise class sounds like too much of a stretch, try our on-demand dance workout classes. With hundreds of at-home dance cardio and strength workouts, including a collection for beginners, you’ll be moving with confidence in no time. Once you are more familiar with our moves, you can meet us on the dance floor! 

Exploring Dance Workout Classes

At Jazzercise, we offer body-rocking dance workout classes for every age and stage. No previous dance experience  needed! You can choose from high-energy, high-impact signature Cardio Sculpt and Power Sculpt classes or go with more targeted options like Cardio, Sculpt, or Stretch. We also offer low-impact variations. 

Overcoming Fear and Self-Doubt

Trying something new can feel scary and even cause self-doubt. While many new Jazzercise customers come to class feeling nervous or insecure on some level, these emotions pass quickly when they see just how supportive and FUN the program is. 

This is just one of the many reasons why our happy members keep coming back, year after year. When you get your sweat on at our group fitness classes, you’ll experience a wide range of physical and mental health benefits. You’ll also meet others working towards their own health goals, encouraging group motivation, connection, and results.  

And you’ve never had this much fun getting fit!  Just imagine shaking it at the ultimate dance party, surrounded by your sweat squad. You’ll leave craving your next workout!

Embracing the Learning Process

As you prepare to get out of your comfort zone with dance, there are a few important things to keep in mind. First, you will soon enter an initial learning period where your dancing may not always, well, coordinate perfectly with those around you. We want you to know this is totally normal! Remember: There are no mistakes at Jazzercise… only accidental solos!

You may be surprised to learn your classmates will be so focused on what they’re doing they won’t even notice your “original” moves. If they do look your way, it will only be to smile and cheer you on!

Also, remember that your time in the learning period is temporary. Most people feel much more comfortable after just a couple of our dance workout classes. If you continue struggling with new movements, check in with your FitPro instructor for expert tips. We are totally there for you!

FitPro Toni points out that everyone was a newbie once! “We’ve ALL been in your shoes – literally – we were all new to Jazzercise at some point. At Jazzercise, we applaud you for joining us no matter your ability, level, stage, etc. Whatever the reason for your nervousness, it’ll seem insignificant or nonexistent by your third class. Stick with it, those nerves are a clear indicator that you’re growing. Props.”

While you work towards becoming a dance floor MVP, you’ll simultaneously improve your cardio fitness, build muscle, and increase flexibility. We guarantee it won’t be long before your dance workout classes with Jazzercise become part of your everyday comfort routine!

Building Confidence and Self-Esteem

As you become more familiar with our dance workout classes, you will naturally experience greater confidence and self-esteem. You may even want to try  ALL of our exciting, effective classes. With classes for every mood, level, and goal, there’s something for everyone!  Check out all of our program offerings here. 

The best part? You’ll ride those endorphins all day long, feeling the benefits of dance cardio hours after you finish class.  You’ll feel unstoppable  with a new sense of accomplishment and confidence that gets stronger each time you sweat.  Get ready, world!

Discovering New Passions and Interests

Did you know that you can boost brain health by trying new things? It’s true! Getting outside your comfort zone and having new experiences can forge new neural pathways and improve brain cognition. Instead of repeating the same old activities day after day, you will greatly benefit from challenging your mind and routine!  

Trying new things can lead to new passions — and that’s a topic we know especially well. At Jazzercise, our mission is to make fitness fun and sustainable through dance workout classes. Get ready to fall in love with your workout and get out of your comfort zone with dance fitness!  

FitPro Toni has seen the power that dance workout classes have had on her and her community. “Jazzercise is the perfect combo of effective and fun - two necessary ingredients in the recipe for a perfect workout. Jazzercise has me, and my community, in the best shape of our lives – feeling fantastic – and having a blast…. It’s no wonder so many of us stick with it for as long as we do!”
