HupSix Explained
HupSix is a low-impact dance workout for men and women using rockin’ soul music. The patented gear acts like a partner, allowing you to independently learn how to social dance.
Have you seen the movies from the 1940s and ’50s where it looks like men and women just knew how to dance together? They actually did. It seems kind of wild today, but the basic step for swing dance was simple enough to learn on the spot. That’s how the military was able to spread it from a small, elite group at the Savoy Ballroom in NYC to the entire world. The style was naturally athletic. In fact, it was the first dance style done in sneakers.
HupSix takes that same basic step as the foundation of our workouts. This keeps your feet moving constantly in time with the music—great for cardio. We created a Click Method, so you simply step to the clicks. It speeds up the learning process. If you watch a HupSix live class, you’ll see everyone moving in unison. That’s where the “Hup” comes from—just like in military drills: “Hup, 2, 3, 4…” Ours is a six-count: click, click, click-click.
Once you have the basic step down, everything else starts to fall into place—turns and more advanced moves. Our patented gear gives you the resistance and feel of a partner. You hold the handles with your fingertips, like you would a dance partner, while the bungee creates the connection. The resistance is light and activates your whole body—kind of like swimming. Our over-sneaker socks turn any sneaker into a dance shoe which protects your knees and ankles from injury.
To get good at HupSix, keep it simple. The moment people start thinking of it as dancing, they tend to add more than they need. Follow the instructor exactly and get your body to go where you tell it. Think of each round like a football or baseball drill—it’ll help you HupSix better. That’s why many athletes use it for cross-training.
Oh, and one more thing: the music. We have band members from The Rolling Stones, Wilson Pickett, Joe Cocker and more creating tracks just for HupSix. They’ve made us Rockin soul tunes with solid grooves, big energy and backbeats that push every move.
It’s not just background music—it’s an integral part of the workout.
Sure, you can burn calories doing anything. But if you want to improve how you move, get strong, and have a blast doing it—HupSix is for you.
