It allows people to feel connected to their bodies and to just move in a way that is empowering to them,\" says Irace.\u003cbr/\u003eStudents say the class takes dance and fitness to a whole new level.\u003cbr/\u003eThe routine is taught first without music and only later is the sound is turned on. \u003cbr/\u003eThen, in complete synchronisation, students begin to move to the beat with choreography designed to raise the heart rate.\u003cbr/\u003eThe high intensity workout targets the legs, arms, neck, back, core and glutes and is said to burn around 800 calories an hour.\u003cbr/\u003eBeverly Hills real estate agent and Strip Hop student Alexis Donahoe says the routine lets her escape from real world pressures. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Not only do you get an amazing workout, as you can see I'm drenched in sweat, but the feeling is that you loose yourself in the music. You loose yourself in your body and you really really really get in touch with dancing and just freedom, just feeling free and letting loose and letting go and just enjoying the moment,\" she says.\u003cbr/\u003eSean Van der Wilt is a professional dancer who has worked with Michael Jackson, toured with Rihanna and Beyonce and just choreographed seven numbers for Cher's tour. \u003cbr/\u003e\"It's basically fitness but without even thinking about it.

I'm a professional dancer and it's made me feel so confident with who I am, what have and how to use it,\" says Van der Wilt.\u003cbr/\u003eEquinox says its classes are regularly booked out and that there is often a waiting list for those wanting to Strip Hop.  \u003cbr/\u003eParticipant Nancy Diaz says it gives her a confidence she can't get elsewhere.\u003cbr/\u003e\"This class makes me feel like me again. I have that dancer core inside and then I'm also a little bit shy at times I think so it really opens up that free spirit that woman inside that revs you up. It gives you confidence. I could leave here and I feel like i could do whatever. I'm leaving here leaping and dancing on my way out,\" says Diaz.\u003cbr/\u003eIrace says they're always looking for new ways to make fitness fun and effective. \u003cbr/\u003e\"A lot of the fusion workouts are just to keep people trained in a variety of ways. We're just watching the industry and they are watching us so it's a two way street.

They are not warmed up so what we want to do it called dynamic stretching which is stretching through a range of motion in which to mimic the moves so in dance class you would do a forward and back leg swing something like that where we are going to be using these muscles later through a dynamic range of motion so it's not held and set but rather repetitive in a motion like thing to get warmed up,\" he says.\u003cbr/\u003eEquinox say they always encourage people to warm up correctly, because when the classes start, the atmosphere soon gets very hot indeed. \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television\u003cbr/\u003eWest Hollywood, California - July 22, 2014\u003cbr/\u003e1.
