Join us for one BIG ASS DANCE party with the MDF community! We are doing what we do best and taking MDF out of the studio and into the clerb for an experience unlike anything else. You will dance, you will laugh, you might even shed a tear while shaking some ass. Most importantly, you will feel FREE & ALIVE. Melody DanceFit has spent the last decade impacting millions online and locally in Austin with her message about how dance transforms your mental health, especially when you stop caring about what you look like. This is not about looking cool or coordinated, this is about releasing pressure, stress & freeing yourself.  NO dance background is necessary, this is a dance fitness class designed for all skill levels. This event is sponsored by Twelve Rivers Realty Austin.  

6PM- 6:30PM: DOORS OPEN

6:30PM-7:45PM MELODY DANCEFIT CLASS

DRESS CODE: Anything you can comfortably dance, move & sweat in. Feel free to dress up as your fabulous dance alter ego- dressing up is not required but totally welcome. Think wigs, sparkly, fun, or dress up as a granny or Pitbull…truly anything goes!

More about your host:

Passionate about teaching the life-changing power of dance–– CEO and founder of Melody DanceFit, Melody Afkami Dawson has pioneered a new class experience that transcends traditional fitness and dance. Notorious for her humorous and inspirational message to focus on the mental release of dance, Melody’s online community has now reached millions. Melody DanceFit was the first dance fitness brand in Austin to rent out local concert venues and bars in lieu of the traditional studio. What started out as a small ten person class quickly grew into events of a hundred plus people–– selling out venues all over town. From her disco-lit classes to flashmobs around the city, Melody has cultivated a following that is hooked to her message of self-acceptance, joy and transformation. With an emphasis on women empowerment and philanthropy, her company, since its founding, donates to the international nonprofit Dress For Success. Afkami has been named ClassPass “Instructor Of The Year” four consecutive years and has been featured on CBS News, Texas Monthly Magazine, and Huffington Post. She has taught for international conferences and festivals, including SXSW and Austin City Limits Music Festival. She’s also been hired to teach for companies such as Lululemon, Facebook, Bumble, and Google. Melody’s life mission is to take the intimidation out of dance to help people unlock their power within, and her viral YouTube video ‘Havana’ boasting over 42 million views certainly proves that. Watch Melody’s TEDx Talk at her alma mater University of Texas.
