Markesha Blackman
Hip-Hop Redefined
Angel Bonds
Seduction Redefined
Markesha Blackman has been dancing her whole life, from drill team, to cheerleading and eventually hardcore hip hop in college with a dance team named Hypnotiq. Dancing has always been her outlet and her way of expressing herself. So it would only make sense that she just can’t get dancing out of her system. After leaving college she became a dance instructor teaching dancers of all age’s choreography. She took a break for a while to fully commit herself to becoming a mother. However, after having her daughter she gained a lot of excess weight. She tried doing everything to lose the weight, but nothing worked. Markesha became very discouraged with the normal workout routine, she just wasn’t getting the results she wanted to see. She literally fell into an opportunity to teach a dance fitness class, and to her amazement the weight just started falling off. Markesha decided that she would love to help other women like herself have fun and get fit. She taught at a local gym for a little over a year, and decided to go out on her own. She then began teaching HIP-HOP REDEFINED. Markesha's primary Goal for Hip hop Redefined is to reach the whole greater Cincinnati area. But she does not plan on stopping there, she wants to tackle other cities and eventually other states. (; Markesha Blackman is certified through Hip-Hop Redefined.
Angelica Bonds was once a Cheerleader/Dancer from 4th grade to her Senior year in Milford High School. In addition to cheerleading, Angelica not only performed Hip Hop style of dancing but also Pom, Contemporary and Jazz. Following her high school days, she lost touch with her dancing side while attending Central State University. With that being said, it was easy for her to gain unwanted weight in addition to the Freshmen 15. Angelica’s motivation to get back fit is to get back in to her dancing shoes with comfort and live a healthier lifestyle. Angelica, like most women, is not fond of the typical gym. Once she found out about Hip Hop Redefined, she was able to not only tap into her previous passion but was able work towards getting back fit. Angelica does NOT want to be skinny. She embraces her curves and hopes that she can help others define their curves as she instructs classes. Angelica brings a sense of realness to her class. She will get tired, she'll be in pain but she WON’T stop! Having the body type of many of the women in the class, she hopes to motivate them and push them beyond the limit! Be prepared to get a great workout with her, share a few laughs and work towards REDEFINING YOUR CURVES! Angel Bonds is Certified through Hip-Hop Redefined.
