What is LaBlast^® Fitness?

LaBlast^® Fitness is ballroom dancing fitness created by world-renowned dancer and fitness expert Louis Van Amstel (as seen on Dancing with the Stars). It’s accessible for all levels—from absolute beginners to experienced dancers.

We blend iconic ballroom rhythms with your favorite music—pop, rock, hip-hop, country, and more. Experience styles from Jive and Foxtrot to Viennese Waltz and Lindy Hop. Whether your goal is to move more, build confidence, or just have a great time, LaBlast^® has something for every body.

Louis’ mantra is “if you can clap it, you can dance it.” First, we clap the timing to feel the rhythm. Then you choose your own intensity—keep it low impact, add optional plyometrics, or incorporate light/heavy weights. It’s truly adaptable at every stage of your fitness journey.

Partner-free, inclusive, and beginner-friendly
Real ballroom rhythms made simple and fun
Progress your intensity—your workout, your way
