If the classical music and tutus don't speak to you, the tip-top fitness of the dancers will. In light of the overwhelming success following a little movie starring Natalie Portman, Equinox in the Gold Coast has decided to team up with Joffrey Ballet dancer and instructor Jocelyn Garner to offer members (and non members!) a unique workout experience. Beginning April 28 and running for six weeks, you can participate in Keep Fit Ballet, a Pilates-focused ballet class that involves traditional ballet exercises artistically performed at a quicker pace for a complete workout. Previous ballet experience is not required (thank goodness), so you've got no excuse. Locate a unitard and some courage, stat.
Equinox, 900 North Michigan Avenue (at Walton Street); 312-254-2500
