I'm spending my holidays in Los Angeles (I'm from Slovenia-Europe) and I'm huge aerobics fan. Actually I'm instructor trainee - I'm taking instructor course - I want to be an instructor. And since I'm spending holidays in a City of probably best instructors and choreographers in the world - I'm planing to get the most this adventure. My question is: Where can I find the best aerobics workout places? Or dance workout classes? I love dance workouts - hi-lo, step, as long as there's dancing - that's what I want. I've been searching the net for two weeks now, I found couple of places (Gold's Gym, Bodies in motion), but I'm sure there are many more. If you could be so kind and give me some directions?

Answer Hi Maja,
Thanks for your email. Glad you're enthusiastic about teaching. Nowadays, believe it or not, it's hard to find classes to take individually. Most classes are in clubs these days, not studios, so you have to be a member or see if you can join for a day or a week to take the classes. Los Angeles is very big and there are great instructors (and average instructors) all over the area. Where will you be staying?
