You work hard...now it's time to relax! Join Stanford Women's Network-NY for a WUKKOUT!® fitness class geared specifically to alums and our guests! Afterwards we will grab drinks at nearby bar, District Social.

WUKKOUT!® is an hour long Caribbean-based dance fitness class designed by Krista Martins, to make you have fun and sweat just like you would if you were at Carnival! Find your groove while increasing your fitness level with body sculpting "wining" techniques that give you an intense, total-body, aerobic workout to soca, calypso and chutney music. Class begins with a warm-up which will teach you how to "juk", "wuk," and "wine" and continues into a variety of dance combinations to the latest soca music. All levels are welcome and no prior experience is necessary.

*Bring yuh rag, bring yuh flag, and be ready to Wukkout!*

About the Instructor:

Krista Martins is is a professional choreographer, ACE certified group fitness instructor and founder of Wukkout!® She has been teaching and performing professionally for over 15 years and is also a Professor at Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus where she teaches hip hop dance to undergraduate students. Krista has performed in a wide variety of music videos, commercials and TV shows including performances with MTV, BET and the NFL. Most notably, her choreography was selected to be featured in NYC's prestigious SummerStage Festival.

Krista's passion for dance can be found in a number of genres including hip hop, ballet, African and soca. Hailing from a Guyanese family, as a young adult, she began to identify her love for soca music and the deeply rooted culture connected to it; she became an active participant in various Caribbean carnivals throughout North America. A strong advocate of health and wellness, Krista realized the benefits her mind, body and soul achieved from participating in these parades. She began teaching Caribbean dance workshops for corporate events and private parties. As the popularity of soca music grew, Krista saw the need to preserve the culture's authenticity while sharing its unique qualities to the masses and thus, Wukkout!® was born.

Krista currently teaches Wukkout!® throughout NYC and across the country.
