Rhythm & Moves Dance Cardio | Wellness at the Tobin

Esta Noche Dance Company leads Rhythm & Moves Dance Cardio at the Will Naylor Smith River Walk Plaza on Saturday, Oct 17, from 10 AM to 11 AM. It's a 60-minute, high-energy dance fitness class that pairs easy-to-follow choreography with upbeat music. You don't need any dance experience to join in, and the session is built for all ages and abilities, so it's as much for someone who's never stepped foot in a studio as it is for someone who already loves to move.

The class is part of Wellness at the Tobin, a series of free public experiences sponsored by H-E-B and University Health and designed to inspire healthy living across the San Antonio community. This year's program mixes dynamic fitness classes, gentle mobility sessions, high-energy dance cardio, and mindful yoga, presented as a welcoming space for anyone looking to energize, unwind, or find balance. Rhythm & Moves is the high-energy end of that spectrum, and Esta Noche Dance Company is the group leading the way.

It's not just a one-off, either. The class runs on the third Saturday of every month from Oct 17 through Dec 19, 2026, so there are three sessions in total if you want to keep it going. Each one is an hour long, and they all take place outdoors at the Will Naylor Smith River Walk Plaza, weather permitting. If the weather doesn't cooperate, an indoor location will be announced.

Parking is free from 9:30 to 11:30 AM in the surface lot at 142 Auditorium Circle, at the corner of 4th Street and Auditorium Circle. The class itself is free, and since it's a community event, you can just show up and get moving.
