If you’ve imagined yourself teaching dynamic, engaging dance fitness classes, it’s time to dive into something unique. LaBlast Splash isn’t just another dance fitness format—it’s a groundbreaking ballroom dance workout in the water, created by world-champion dancer Louis van Amstel. By becoming a certified instructor, you’ll deliver classes that are inclusive, fun, and highly effective—no partner or dance experience required.
Why Choose LaBlast Splash Instructor Certification?
When you become a certified LaBlast Splash instructor, you join a passionate global community dedicated to fitness, dance, and well-being. Whether you’re a seasoned fitness professional expanding your skills or just starting your teaching journey, certification equips you with the essential tools to deliver memorable classes that keep your participants returning for more.
A Unique Dance Fitness Experience
Imagine combining ballroom dancing—such as Jive, Foxtrot, Lindy Hop, and Viennese Waltz—with the supportive environment of water. Unlike traditional ballroom dance, LaBlast Splash eliminates partner requirements and makes ballroom accessible to everyone.
This unique approach makes your classes appealing to diverse audiences, increasing your reach as an instructor.
Attract and Retain Diverse Clients
Your LaBlast Splash classes will attract a wide range of participants, including:
-
Beginners who gain confidence through the supportive aquatic environment.
-
Joint-sensitive individuals, including arthritis sufferers, prenatal, and rehabilitation clients, who appreciate low-impact movements. According to the CDC, aquatic fitness significantly reduces joint stress and discomfort.
-
Older adults seeking social, balance-improving activities that boost longevity. Harvard Health emphasizes water fitness for maintaining cardiovascular health and mobility in seniors.
-
Athletes and cross-trainers who benefit from active recovery, as water fitness offers effective muscle conditioning without strain.
Stand Out as a Fitness Professional
Dance fitness is booming, but few instructors specialize in ballroom-inspired water workouts. Certification gives you an edge—establishing you as a unique expert in your fitness community.
Built-In Strength & Conditioning
Water’s density provides natural resistance for muscles, increasing strength and toning. Every move in LaBlast Splash challenges multiple muscle groups simultaneously, delivering a total-body workout. SELF Magazine highlights how aquatic exercise strengthens muscles effectively, without joint strain common in land workouts.
Low-Impact, High-Calorie Burn
Water-based exercise is gentle yet powerful. Participants burn calories at levels comparable to moderate-to-high intensity land workouts without impact-related discomfort. According to the American Council on Exercise (ACE), aquatic exercise is proven effective in calorie burning and cardiovascular conditioning.
