Are you ready to add a splash of dance to your pool workouts? You’ve done cardio, you’ve done HIIT and you’ve done muscle conditioning, but you haven’t danced with Ronnie Miller in the pool yet. Ronnie is Poolfit’s newest instructor.
D.A.T.-H2O™ blends the DAT-Fitness® DANCE AGILITY TRAINING techniques with the water's resistance. There is less impact on your joints during a D.A.T.-H2O class, as opposed to D.A.T.- Dance class in the studio. Exercise participants will be able to work harder than they can on land. This unique formula blends together three style of exercise. D.A.T. stands for Dance fitness, Agility drills and Training, as in strength training. Dance can bring the fun factor up to a 10 in a pool workout. Sometimes you just need to lose yourself in the music.

D.A.T. Inspiration
By Ronnie Miller founder and creator of D.A.T.-H2O™
Report to the dance floor! D.A.T.-H2O™ combines Dance, Agility and Training for a well-rounded, full body workout for all fitness levels. This fun class allows you to dance like a diva and workout like an athlete. The dance moves are easy to follow and effective for steady state cardio benefits. The dance moves work in the pool because they are infused with traditional aquatic moves. Learn a fun dance combo and then take it back to the top and allow the music to create the drive and intensity for a dynamic pool workout. I’ve been teaching D.A.T.-H2O for eight years now. I have had great success with offering a dance element to the pool. It appeals to a younger demographic while also retaining my older active adults. I hope you enjoy this workout as much as my students do.
