Who is NB?
Great Question!
My name is Niamh Branigan and I’ll be your dance instructor for today!
Born and bred in Dublin I studied for my degree in Film, Literature & Drama, I then moved over to London to get my MA in Acting at ArtsEd. Since then I have worked on some great productions such as Roddy Doyles’s ‘The Snapper’ in The Gate Theatre, Ireland’s leading soap ‘Fair City’ and travelling to The Edinburgh Fringe, The Vaults Festival and The New Theatre with Hairpin Production of ‘Save + Quit’. But unfortunately 2020 arrived and acting came to a quick hault.
I trained as a Zumba instructor in London and began teaching for ‘The Body People’, I would also attend as many classes (as I could afford) in Pineapple Dance Studio & Studio 68. So bringing all of that experience with me I moved back home and started up NB Dance Fitness Online Classes and it’s grown and grown ever since.

What Are The Classes Like?
My classes are designed to make you sweat and feel incredible. The great thing about them being on Zoom is that you can literally dance like nobody’s watching! You can push yourself as hard or as little as you like and take it at your own pace. On average you’ll burn between 400-600 calories in one class. It has a mix of dance moves and Hiit style workout moves, everything from squats to salsa to twerking!
I start and end with a good stretch to get you warmed up and cooled down, we also finish off with a song that you can let completely loose to, once you see me dancing around the room like an idiot you’ll see pretty quick that the most important thing to take away from the class is to enjoy yourself. We haven’t been in a club dancing with our friends for a long time and we don’t know when we will be able to again so this class is made to fill (even only a little bit) that void!
What’s the current sitch?
Of course I’m still available for Zoom classes but now that I can all see your wonderful faces, I want to focus on teaching in person classes.
At the moment I teach groups of classes to Transition Year students in Loreto St Stephen’s Green as well as Dance Fitness to Ladies in local community centres. I’m available for One to One’s, Hen Party’s, Team Bonding, & Birthday Parties. Most recently I taught an ABBA themed hen party (See fab photo beside!) and I have a 30th Little Mix themed birthday party in October that I can’t wait for!
