TTB was founded in 2016 by Stephanie Escobedo. After noticing a lack of dance-focused fitness classes for non-professional dancers, she wanted to create a space for current dancers, former dancers and dance enthusiasts to move their body. TTB features a complete program of fitness classes ; sculpt, choreography, cardio and restorative classes. These unique and effective formats will boost your confidence, lower your stress levels, create new levels of strength, build community, and make you fall in love with moving your body.
TTB’s team of dancers turned instructors are here to support you while you persue something you love. At TTB we believe that you can start your dance journey at any age and any stage. Our mission is to bring movement to the masses and prove that YOU ARE a dancer.
