Broadway Workout: the fun way to workout | Ottawa’s new fitness class

Your workout takes centre stage

Broadway Workout is not your typical fitness class:
It’s fun, inclusive and All That Jazz

Broadway Workout is a new dance-based cardio workout class. It’s all about having fun, expressing yourself and joining a lively community! Unlike traditional workout classes such as aerobics, Zumba, yoga and CrossFit, Broadway Workout isn’t about weight loss or punishing yourself to reach a goal.

We focus on moving your body to the music at your own pace. There’s no need for you to execute the dance perfectly in our musical theatre dance class. In fact, we encourage you to dance how you want. Be silly! Have fun! It’s like you’re at an audition but you already got the part – YOU ARE THE STAR.

Why you should join Broadway Workout

Broadway Workout is structured like an audition. Each class you learn a different dance routine to a different song. No repetition, no getting bored, no expectations. Immerse yourself and let loose!
We dance with a purpose. All muscle groups are targeted in our choreography, allowing you to get a full body exercise without it feeling like a workout! The combination of brain and body movement also helps keep your mind active.
It’s fun for everyone. Regardless of age, body type and experience, the dance exercise is enjoyable for all! Since everyone is focused on learning their routine, there’s no judgement. Forget the gym and treat yourself to a good time at Broadway Workout!

Broadway Workout:
a peek backstage

Broadway Workout is a safe space for people to have fun, express themselves and break a sweat. It all began when Laura participated in a dance audition for a local musical theater production. She was inspired by the experience she had there – learning choreography to the music she loved while having fun and moving her body. Finding it a great way to get cardio exercise and forget about the stress and worries of life, she wanted others to have the same opportunity and started the class.

Meet Laura Allardyce
Broadway Workout’s Creator and Producer

Laura Allardyce is a dancer, singer, theatre nerd and fitness enthusiast who feels pretty lucky to have turned all of those things into a job.

She believes everyone is a dancer and that having fun matters more than getting every step right. Laura’s favourite part of teaching is watching a room come together. When everyone gets the choreography, moves as one, and finishes with big smiles and cheers. She loves seeing dancers grow in confidence, step outside their comfort zones and discover what their bodies can do. Her favourite musical is Chess, and her favourite song she’s ever taught is “Born to Hand-Jive” from Grease.
