DKB FIT® stands for Dance Kickboxing Fitness. It is a group fitness method created by Angie Huingo that fuses dance choreography with cardio kickboxing — endurance, strength, coordination and confidence trained in the same hour, synchronised to original DKB music.

Both, deliberately. The dance side brings choreography, rhythm and expression; the kickboxing side brings technique, structure and strength. The fusion is the method — it is not a dance class with punches added, or a kickboxing class set to music.

Every punch and kick has a direction and a purpose rather than striking air, and correct body mechanics are taught explicitly. Classes also use vocalisation as a release. Students regularly describe finishing a class feeling lighter emotionally as well as physically.

DKB Extreme is DKB FIT® 2.0 — military bootcamp meets dance kickboxing. The rhythm and choreography of DKB driven into push-ups, burpees, mountain climbers, squats, lunges and explosive kickboxing combinations. When the beat rises, the intensity rises. It is led by Sgt. Tony Hill, Master Bootcamp Instructor, with Angie Huingo, and serves as continued education for instructors who want to take DKB to the elite level.

Yes. No dance or martial arts experience is needed — the method is taught in layers, and instructors build each combination step by step. People who have never kickboxed before start in the same class as everyone else.

No. DKB's own certified instructors range from 12 to 87 years old, and a large part of the membership is women in their forties, fifties, sixties and beyond. Angie's position is that you are never too old to restart your inner child.

Angie Huingo. Born in Lima, Peru and in the United States since age eleven, she has 24 years in practice as a neuromuscular therapist, is a certified Tae Bo® instructor and official Billy Blanks representative for Latin America, and is the first Latina to found and own an internationally expanding kickboxing fitness brand. She founded DKB in 2020.

Yes. DKB has its own catalogue of original tracks, most written by Angie Huingo, produced by Dizzle On Tha Beat and co-produced by Tony Hill. Tracks are $1.99 each as instant MP3 downloads, purchased through DKB Online.

Latin American rhythm — salsa, reggaeton, merengue, cumbia, Latin house and percussion-driven sound. The choreography is synchronised to the beat, so you are training inside the music rather than exercising alongside it.
