The Hipline Choreographers

Hipline is a dance fitness destination tailored to all types of women seeking a balanced workout full of positivity, cardio, toning, originality and inclusivity. Consistency is key, and while Hipline promotes and nurtures individuality through and through, we know how important it is that our clients can rely on us to deliver a quality experience every time with any Choreographer. Each member of our team participates in an intensive training program and trial period, their leadership when teaching is vital to the success of each class and being an active part of the Hipline community is just as important.

Hipline is a place where our clients are invited to let their hair down and we are committed to holding a space for women to focus on sweating it out, working out, letting go and feeling good. We welcome all levels of experience to both studios. Our sixty minute classes are designed for your exercising pleasure, so when you come to burn, tone and shimmy you can count on a safe, productive, fun and accepting environment.

So, if three of the main flavors of Hipline are, Shimmy, Connect and Love, our sparkling team of Choreographers are the main ingredients–serving up a sweet blend of sweat, swag and sanctuary. Our Choreographers are a constellation of women with fabulous moves, huge spirit and serious taste in music, each one offering something extra special to the Hipline experience.

Our Choreographers have your back and are here to guide you all the way!
