The objective of GarifunaRobics is to infuse culture and fitness to today's society; showcasing the Garifuna culture through something almost anyone can relate to, which is a workout. The music that is being played during the class is strictly Garifuna, with different genres of Garifuna music such as, Punta, Punta Rock, Gunchey (Goon-Chay), Wanaragua (Wah-Nah-Ra-Gwah), Hungu Hungu (Hoon-Goo Hoon Goo) and Parranda (Pah-Ran-Da). The class is a mixture of dance and fitness, so that you get your ultimate workout, and also learn some new moves.  These classes are a barefooted experience, primarily because we want to stick to the traditions of our dances being done barefooted. You don't have to be a pro at what you are doing. You just have to be in it to win it, be prepared to burn some calories, and most importantly HAVE FUN! 

The Garifuna (Gah-Ri-Fu-nah) culture is a  of Arawak Indian, and West African that was formed in the island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. After vigorously fighting for our land, we were exiled in 1797, and arrived to the coasts of Honduras. From there, spread to Guatemala, Belize, Nicaragua, and the U.S.  Through all of this, the Garifuna people were able to keep their culture alive through their language, drums, dances, foods, and spirituality.
