Nick Gaudio

Nick Gaudio’s dance journey began in college hip hop crews, and he’s been chasing the beat ever since—bringing endless energy and fresh moves to every class. He discovered dance fitness as a way to stay fit, reconnect with rhythm, and build a welcoming community where sweat and smiles go hand in hand. His classes feature inventive choreography, infectious music, and plenty of laughs—all wrapped in a vibe that’s as brain-working as it is heart-pumping. The #1 rule for Hip Hop Fitness is simple: have fun—and the rest is just bonus sweat.
