Alchemy Signature Classes
Our Alchemy signature classes are our very own, home-grown classes that cover a wide variety of dance preferences and fitness needs. They’re all dance-fitness format (follow the leader), but they have different fitness goals, vibes, energy, music & dance styles.
Teacher trainings are offered in all these formats. Pre-requisites may apply!
BOLD Power: Lifting for Dancers
BOLD Power is a fun & gritty, power-based dance fitness class that uses weights for a full body, compound workout. It’s choreographed to music, so even though it’ll make you sweat, it’s still a blast!
We want you to boost your raw strength & power to have more functional strength in your day-to-day life AND in dance. It’s not about burning calories or looking better like most fitness classes (though that’s of course a side-effect of strength training 💪). We want people to feel good, be empowered in a real physiological way, and have less pain & be able to lift heavier as they get stronger.
This class was created by our owner Ashley Patchen and Physical Therapist Emma Stevenson, so you know it’s going to be fun AND good for you!
BOLD Toning: It’s like Barre… with an ATTITUDE!
BOLD Toning is a fun, high energy strength-based dance strengthening class that uses a combination of body weight, resistance bands, and bandanas for a full body dancer's workout. Even though it's a tough workout, we choreograph it to feel like a dance party!
Build endurance and strength in the muscles you use less-often in dance, and retrain them to engage properly when you're dancing rather than relying on your joints & low back to take the impact.
This class was created by our owner Ashley Patchen and Physical Therapist Emma Stevenson, so you know it’s going to be fun AND good for you!
DESIRE: Rediscover your sexy self!
DESIRE is our home-grown dance-cardio class where you get to explore your sassy, sexy side. Get in touch with your sensual, dirrrty, flirty self, build your confidence, rediscover love of your own body and get a great workout!

HYPED AF: Dance like no one gives a Sh*t!
HYPED And Fit 😉 is a dance cardio class that's all about creating that dance-party-with-your-friends vibe. You get to reconnect with your silly, sexy & sweaty self, and laugh, make friends, and get wild-n-crazy in this class.
The vibe is high and the music is a super fun, wide range of amped up party music including current popular stuff (think hip hop, pop, electronic), a mix of hyped up stuff around the world (think dancehall, K-pop or Bollywood), and whatever else gets our booties poppin'.
REVIVE: Good for the soul, gentle on the body
REVIVE is a dance cardio class that's all about restoring your mind, body and soul. It's a low-impact, "feel good" kind of class with a lot of heart.
