SHiNE Dance Fitness with Jannica

Class Description

What is SHiNE Dance Fitness™? SHiNE™ is a dance fitness class rooted in traditional dance such as jazz, hip hop and ballet. We take those foundational moves and create dance routines that are easy enough for beginners yet challenging enough for the more seasoned dancer. The simplicity of the routines allows you keep moving and do less thinking. Because we like to keep you moving the average calories burned during a full class is approximately 750! Not bad for a workout that feels more like a dance party with your girlfriends.

The owner and creator of SHiNE is based in Eagle Idaho and here is what she has to say: “The choreography encourages your muscles to elongate and your body to flow. I purposefully created routines that make women feel pretty, strong, happy, and confident. For many of us, these traits are hard to live out on a day to day basis because we can be hard on ourselves and a tiny bit insecure but my passion is to create a space for women to authentically express themselves without inhibition.”

Meet the Instructor

Jannica Paraschiv

Jannica was born and raised in Mountain Home, ID and caught the dancing bug early. She took dance and gymnastics throughout her childhood and cheered through college. After graduating, moving to Seattle and getting a “real job”, dance seemed to be a rare joy only to be had at a wedding or night out with friends. Getting to the gym was a chore and dance sadly seemed to be a thing of the past. Then she discovered an adult dance group in Kirkland, WA and felt the joy of dance again.

After 10 incredible years of dancing, Jannica moved back home to Boise, ID and found herself without a way to dance, out of shape, and a bit depressed. Then one day a light shined down….at a park in Meridian, ID where there was a pop-up SHiNE Dance Fitness class! Jannica was hooked and ultimately decided to get certified as a SHiNE Dance Fitness instructor to spread her joy with others.

When Jannica is not teaching SHiNE you can find her dancing in the kitchen with her husband, two elementary age daughters and mini aussie, Sparrow.
