World Dance Fitness invites you to our vital, vibrant, and supportive community for dance and fitness in Marin. Based on a passionate vision shared by Aruna and Dhyanis, WDF is a safe space to explore dance, fitness, self-expression and fun. The students come in all shapes, sizes and walks of life. We are mothers, professional women, grandmothers, teenagers, girls -- and occasionally some very special men!

From belly dance to pole dance

Our teachers are trained dancers with extensive backgrounds in many styles of belly dance (classical Egyptian, cabaret, fusion, folkloric and American tribal), many other styles of dance, and possess a strong background in exercise physiology, strength training, yoga and Pilates. We are a spirited and effective alternative to the gym!

Since January 2007 we've taught the high art of Pole Acrobatics. This is not Badda Bing club pole dancing seen on the Sopranos. We think of it instead as Pole Medicine or Sacred Pole, a beautiful and empowering form of vertical gymnastics.

New yoga sling class

Our most recent addition is Yoga Sling Fitness, a delicious aerial yoga class. Using the suspended Om Gym, you can build strength and flexibility, plus get all the benefits of gentle inversions and stretches.

See the class schedule for more details.

Fitness for all levels 

We aim to teach in a way that reaches everyone. You don't need previous dance or fitness experience and you are welcome here no matter what your dance aspirations may be! We also offer dance performance opportunities with several troupes and for solo artists.
