Former ‘Dancing With the Stars' choreographer and World Dance Champion Louis Van Amstel will visit Midtown Athletic Club in Bannockburn on Monday, June 17, for an evening filled with the cha cha, samba and more. Creator of the five-DVD workout series entitled “LaBlast,” Van Amstel will lead a 90-minute class, from 7-8:30 p.m., for members and guests demonstrating his new program.

LaBlast utilizes numerous genres of ballroom dancing, including the jive, salsa and waltz, to create a challenging, high-energy fitness program for all levels of dancers. Van Amstel has choreographed a program fit for the stars that incorporates a wide variety of upbeat music and which doesn't require a partner.

“We've watched Van Amstel coach so many celebrities, from Kendra Wilkinson to Kelly Osbourne and Priscilla Presley on DWTS.” said Midtown Event Coordinator Marnie Wilcox, “Now it's time for Midtown members and their guests to learn a few moves from the real expert.”

Entry is $25 for adult members and $30 for non-members. Midtown members age 10-17 are $15 while non-members are $20. For more information, contact Marnie Wilcox at 847.945.1818 or marnie.wilcox@midtown.com.
