Gettin It In with the “Z-GoGo” Workout
September 15, 2012
The Z-GoGo Workout was created by Dani Tucker Hooper, an avid fitness and dance junkie who I met when she came to my Pilates class at Spirit Anacostia Fitness Center. She loved to work out but didn’t like the standard techno or latin workout music in most most fitness classes. Dani got creative and built a high-impact cardio workout system using DC’s homegrown musical art-form, “GoGo”.
I arrived into the Fort Davis Recreation Center on Saturday at 11am only to find that they turned away 15 people because the room was packed to capacity! The class is non-stop energy but also calls back to those African drumming rhythms that kept black folks moving and grooving for thousands of years!
I learned the old school go go dances like the “Lil-Benny”, the “motorcycle” and the “slide out”. But the dances can’t match the energy of the instructor Dani Tucker Hooper. Dani is a native Washingtonian who keeps the class hyped up with excitement and encouragement.
The workout has expanded and now offers certification in both GoGo and Gospel Fitness. The fitness troupe represents a wide spectrum of women who care about their body and spirit.
Get your groove, your workout and your sweat in with Z-GoGo every Tuesday at 7pm and Saturday at 11am at Fort Davis Recreation Center.
