Wonderful Belly Dancing!!
03/20/2008 Posted by marydance
Belly dancing makes me happy! Having a class taught by Chris Karnofsky is an
absolute joy to your feminine soul. Your body changes to the most beautiful
curves you'll ever see, and to be taught to dance and play zils (finger cymbols)
is an absolute high. The atmosphere is warm and sultry, the floors are clean to
dance on, and the women get so excited to see each other week after week. It's a
great place to practice your Art.
Pros: All Positive
Zumba! Great New Work Out!
03/16/2008 Posted by dancelvr
The most fun, high energy, dance work out I have ever experienced! The way the
alluring Latin moves are incorporated into the music makes this a great total
body fitness class that feels more like a dance party than just a work out
class. The warm up, cardio section, and cool down use popular music ranging from
Hip Hop to Reggaton, and Latin inspired sounds. This class teaches the basics of
the Merengue, Salsa, Samba, Cumbia, and Reggaton, and then uses all these great
steps to work your whole body in a new and inventive way! I definitely recommend
Zumba to anyone of any fitness level!!
Pole Dancing @ Vertical Fitness
03/10/2008 Posted by SexyCat
It is sexyness in a whole new dimension! The studio is set up so private and
personal. The lighting makes your skin soft and the music makes you feel
beautiful. I love the atmosphere. It's a great way to get flexible and in shape.
At the end of class my arms and legs are worked, my core muscles are tighter,
and I have a sassy little attitude.
A Grrovin’ Way to Get Fit!

Step into the Vertical Fitness dance studio and leave your inhibitions at the
door! The studio is a beautiful sanctuary "for women only" and is very warm and
inviting. The same qualities are true of the instructors, Cindy and Kelly, who
provide a fun, supportive and liberating dance experience. While I have enjoyed
other types of dance, I had never tried pole dancing until I found Vertical
Fitness. The workout is incredible, and fun! How often do you hear "workout" and
"fun" in the same sentence? Best of all, women of all abilities can do it...you
just start where you're comfortable and before you know it, you'll be trying all
kinds of tricks! The instructors successfully apply their qualifications and
creativity into fun and challenging routines, while encouraging students to
explore a whole new side of self-expression. Additionally, you can find
everything you need to compliment your new-found fitness program in "The
Boutique". Browse the wide variety of tastefully selected clothing and
accessories and you're sure to find something that is just right. And, if you're
a "sneakers and sandals" girl like myself, get ready because you will acquire a
new appreciation for all kinds of fun platform heels and boots. Don't forget to
check out the fun and unique stockings to go with! We'll see you in class!
Pros: This is an overall great experience. Cons: Cons?? What Cons?
Hottest Workout Ever with FAB-U-LOUS Results!
03/06/2008 Posted by RobinHart
LOVE IT!! I received 10 classes from my husband for Christmas and once I got
over the giggles and to the class I was hooked! I have been athletic my entire
life and love to dance, but this workout was much more than I had expected, with
sore abs every week to prove it! I was using muscles in new ways with the added
bonus of great music and dancing. The instructors make it fun and easy to learn
in an environment that builds confidence quickly, as well as works on sensuality
and our inner playful divas - everyone needs a little more of that!! I wish I
could go every day...... so does my husband! :)
Pros: Great environment, great workout and fantastic instructors. Cons: none!
Feel Pretty and Confident While Dancing
03/05/2008 Posted by Barbaraaa
Vertical Fitness is a welcome addition to the Lake Tahoe area. It is accessible,
very clean and has a cute boutique for women who want special items to add
pizzazz to their dance and lives. I've enjoyed all of the different classes
offered, but especially liked the pole dance class because it was new for me and
I felt pretty and sensual in my body while feeling safe in the private setting
just for women. I'm really happy that there is a new studio like this. Try it
out!
A Great Way to Exercise After a Long Day at Work!
03/04/2008 Posted by elisenorman
The classes are well organized, and structured for all skill levels. In the
classes I have attended an emphasis is placed on stretching, and that part alone
makes the class worth the time! It amazed me the strength I have found in my
upper body and legs just after a few classes. All of us girls are looking for a
way to stay in shape as we gracefully age and the classes at vertical fitness
are geared towards that. The instructors are professional and consistent and
that is a key to a top-quality dance studio/exercise center. Well Done!
Fun, Intimate, Clean, Friendly Dance Studio!
03/03/2008 Posted by corvinel
I was looking for a different kind of workout than just going to the gym and
lifting weights. This studio is super fun! I love coming to class every week.
The atmosphere is really sensual, clean and comfortable. I love the pole dancing
class. I have increased my strength and flexibility, while having a fun time.
I've also learned some hot dance moves which my boyfriend also loves. The
instructors are great and work with all ability levels. The web site is
beautiful and easy to navigate. I highly recommend this place to any one who
wants a little fun and excitement in their workout.
Pros: clean, friendly, sensual atmosphere Cons: None! This place is
great.

Hi Girls, If you are looking for a great workout and a really fun time, then
VERTICAL FITNESS is the place to be. Cindy Coverdale, wife of rockstar David
Coverdale, has all the right moves. This incredibly talented woman knows her
stuff. Her dance routines are so fun and very seductive. They are great for
every age and every ability. Cindy knows how to teach. She explains everything
so thoroughly and makes you feel confident and beautiful. I never thought this
would be something I could do, but she makes it simple. I look forward to every
class, so does my husband. Just try it once, There may be a pole dancer in you
too. Thank you Cindy for making fitness fun. Daidri Loduca
Fun and Fitness!

Vertical fitness is great for dancers of any skill level (or if you don't dance
at all and just want to get into shape and have fun!) All the instructors are
really nice, energetic, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about what they do. It's
a great atmosphere, it can get a little packed when there are tons of people,
but its just right for the normal classes. I've taken the hula, hip hop, and
Zumba, and was extremely impressed by all of them. I came home sore and happy
each time, ready to go back for more!
Great Workout! Get in the Best Shape of Your Life!
03/01/2008 Posted by JeanneMiraglia
Are you in great shape, but getting tired of your tried and true sports and
workouts? I was looking for another great way to stay in shape and be challenged
while working my core as well as other muscles. Vertical Fitness has a beautiful
studio, that really takes you away to a vacation-like state of mind and will
revive your desire to work-out! I have to mention that it might just happen to
spice up other areas of your life! I tried Vertical Fitness and was so
pleasantly surprised.
The Most Fun in Fitness
03/01/2008 Posted by hflinchpaugh
Who knew exercising could be so much fun? The pole dancing classes are great way
to keep in shape and you can be at any fitness level and/or age to be in the
class. The instructors are really nice and make you feel very comfortable. They
even have a boutique inside the studio where the clothes are fun and sassy. It's
a must try for everyone.
Pole Dancing—Right Here in Incline—What a Treat!
03/01/2008 Posted by ltmc
I have had THE BEST time in Cindy & Kellie's pole dancing classes. They are both
excellent instructors, nice, personable, and make you feel so comfortable
(especially for the newbies) :-) Practicing my pole moves at home is a little
challenging since I don't own a pole yet but the Chair Dance routine is a
different story! That was a very fun workshop and of course my husband doesn't
mind me practicing at home. I highly recommend trying it out - it's like NO
other workout you've done before and sooooooo much fun!!! ltmc
Pros: Beautiful studio, great shopping boutique, excellent instructors! Cons:
the space might be a bit small for large groups, but it's really nice for the
normal class sizes
So Fun!
03/01/2008 Posted by jleetahoe
I never thought I would take pole dancing, but these classes are SO fun! The
studio is really clean and cozy, and Cindy is a fabulous, warm, encouraging
instructor (not to mention a GREAT dancer!). I have also taken a Belly Dancing
workshop there, which was also fabulous. If you want to get into great shape
while having a blast, take a class!
