Program Overview

SRQ After Dark® was formed with the working professional in mind. We understand that your schedule demands juggling multiple tasks and responsibilities, and that in today's market, making a 40-week commitment isn't always an option. That said, we still wanted to formulate a way to be able to share our passion for dance and fitness with everyone who was willing to walk through our doors and try a class.

We had three goals in mind when we developed the program. First, it had to be flexible enough so that participants could enjoy the benefits of a dance and fitness program without the hassles of gym memberships or long-term commitments which often kept working adults out of the studios. Second, it had to be affordable so that everyone who wanted to participate was able to do so. And third, we had to attract some of the hottest dance and fitness educators around to give our clients the highest quality dance experience imaginable!

SRQ After Dark® is the result. We know you'll find the energy and excitement of our faculty habit forming, and you will be telling all of your friends and family about Sarasota's hottest new dance and fitness program, designed specifically for professionals just like yourself!
