Genna Durante is a dancer, certified personal trainer, and lifelong movement enthusiast with a passion for intentional, feel-good fitness.

With a background in classical and commercial dance, Genna spent years performing professionally in New York and Las Vegas. In 2019, she transitioned into the fitness industry, becoming NASM-certified and working with brands like Equinox, Lifetime, & F45.

After experiencing a significant back injury that left her in ongoing pain, Genna was forced to slow down and rebuild her relationship with movement. Through physical therapy, she learned the importance of proper core engagement, glute activation, and controlled strength work. Rather than stepping away from dance, she began integrating her PT exercises into dance-based movement—creating workouts that felt both expressive and safe.

That integration became the foundation of Bandz N’ Booty.

Today, Bandz N’ Booty blends dance and strength training with a strong emphasis on injury-aware movement, confidence-building, and community. The brand continues to grow through live classes, virtual offerings, special events, and retail products, with a vision to expand into new cities while staying rooted in connection and accessibility.

Genna’s mission is to create spaces where people feel empowered to move without fear, build strength from the inside out, and enjoy the process—one class at a time.
