Karina Smirnoff, the reigning dance champion of ABC-TV’s Dancing with the Stars, is bringing her DanceFIT Tour to Hawaii this week and will offer classes through Feb. 2 at Marriott resorts on Kauai, Hawaii Island, Maui and Oahu. The professional ballroom dancer said she will show how to get a dancer’s body in four weeks.

“We are thrilled to welcome Karina to Hawaii and Marriott, where resort guests and island residents alike will no doubt get a great physical workout with the dance pro,” said Marriott executive Chris Tatum.

The Big Isle class will be at 9 a.m. Friday at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa. The 55-minute class is open to the public. Cost is $30. Other sessions will be on Kauai, Maui and Oahu. Visit www.marriotthawaii.com.
