Great music. Really great music.
Not just any workout playlist, but tracks with rhythm, dynamics, and the perfect feel for the moment.
Forget everything you thought you knew about aqua fitness. AQUA-DANCE combines extraordinary good music, dynamic movement, and an effective full-body workout – creating an empowering fitness session that feels more like a dance floor in the water than a traditional workout.
My innovative AQUA-DANCE concept combines the health benefits of aqua fitness with the energy and dynamics of exquisite, hand-mixed music. Beats, rhythm, and movement intertwine to create a unique workout that motivates, inspires, and, most importantly, is fun.
My music doesn't just play in the background. It sets the tempo, energy, and flow. As an experienced old-school professional DJ in addition to my work as an aqua fitness instructor, I know exactly when it’s time for that ultimate track to get everyone in the pool moving again.
Above all, AQUA-DANCE remains a serious workout. The natural resistance of the water challenges your entire body while keeping the movements gentle on your joints.
The result is a highly dynamic workout where you’ll quickly forget you’re even exercising. And if you’re heading to a bar, disco, or club afterward, you’ll already be in the right mood.
DANCEFLOOR MEETS water.
Rhythm meets movement.
Fitness MEETS fun.
Truly dynamic music fundamentally changes how you move. A great beat motivates you and allows movement sequences to flow naturally. This is exactly where AQUA-DANCE differs from all conventional aqua fitness programs.
Rhythmic movements, varying intensities, and the dynamics of the water result in an effective full-body workout. At the same time, the interplay of music, movement, and rhythm challenges your coordination, body awareness, and focus.
Because the music isn't just a random workout playlist, but is selected with a keen sense for the group, the mood, and the dynamics, it creates an atmosphere that goes far beyond a classic aqua fitness class.
What sets me apart from other aqua fitness instructors? I am fully licensed and therefore play a selection of original songs with sync and precise manual transitions, rather than canned, pre-made playlists. I’ve brought the house down countless times at my own music club in Hamburg Ottensen: So, I speak from personal experience.
Not just any workout playlist, but tracks with rhythm, dynamics, and the perfect feel for the moment.
Water resistance challenges your muscles, stamina, and coordination. At the same time, great music creates a flow that motivates you and lets you forget the daily grind.
The movements are specifically tailored to the music, the dynamics, and the resistance of the water.
Beginners can be just as much a part of the dance floor as experienced participants.
It’s not about your age or your dance skills, but the joy of music and movement.

Whether it’s funky, electronic, rock, or packed with pop classics, our diverse music specials always create the perfect vibe in the water.
As a professional DJ with years of experience, I bring the perfect amount of music to every event—without a rigid playlist. I keep a close eye on what’s happening in the pool and which songs are hitting the mark. I know exactly what each training group needs and when it’s time to drop the next big track.
That’s how the sound of every AQUA-DANCE is always created, in part, in the moment.

AQUA-DANCE isn't about mastering specific steps. It’s about moving to the rhythm and being more dynamic than in other water workouts.
I guide the exercises and movements in real-time, and they can be adapted to your own fitness level. The water supports your body while providing resistance, creating an effective workout that requires no prior dance experience.
You don't need to be super fit or know how to dance. You just need to get in the water. And if you want to keep the party going afterward, you'll already be in the groove.
The next dance floor is waiting.
AQUA-DANCE combines fitness and entertainment into a unique poolside experience – energizing, accessible, and suitable for all guest groups.
The concept is driven by me, Mario Eriksson, a certified aqua fitness instructor, experienced professional DJ with GEMA license & founder of AQUA-DANCE. I adapt my music selection and energy to the specific situation, creating an exceptionally effective group dynamic.
AQUA-DANCE can be flexibly integrated – as a regular course offering, a special pool event, or an atmospheric kick-off to a club evening.
AQUA-DANCE is expanding to more locations, and I am always looking for experienced aqua fitness instructors and DJs who want to help shape the concept and bring their own personality to the mix. It’s all about teamwork.
Are you an expert in water-based movement, a pro at motivating groups, or a DJ who knows how to read a crowd and drop the perfect track at the right moment? If so, we’ll be a great fit.
I am looking for professionals who are reliable, passionate about music, movement, and authentic live experiences, and open to collaborating on new ideas. I would be happy to discuss what a partnership could look like with you personally.
What I liked most was that absolutely everyone could join in. You don't have to be young or particularly athletic. I came out of the pool with a huge grin on my face – and it lasted for the rest of the evening.
Honestly, I didn't think aqua fitness was for me. Ten minutes in, that thought was completely gone. The music makes a huge difference – before you know it, you're just moving along and having a great time.
I go to the gym regularly, but I’d never experienced a workout in the water like this before. The resistance makes it surprisingly intense. And when the perfect song hits at just the right moment, it makes all the difference.
We went to a club later that evening, and AQUA-DANCE was the perfect way to get in the mood. You step out of the pool already feeling the vibe of the upbeat music.
The perfect warm-up for the evening. We went all out in the pool for an hour, then showered, changed, and headed straight to the club. We probably replaced all those burned calories the moment we got there.
The music, the people, the vibe – it puts you in a good mood instantly. And the next day, I could still tell I’d had a solid workout. It’s the perfect mix of exercise and fun.
Great music. Movement. Water. Positive energy.
That’s all you need.
