With Rie, Yukari and Alex ( Latinmania)

Yesterday’s schedule was hard for me, but I felt happy.

Firstly I ran my ZUMBA lesson 8:30-9:30 am at Bundall, and I got to Pimpama Uniting Church at around 10:30.

Children’s high adaptability always surprises me so much.

They got used to my choreography easily.

In 2 hours we raised $755.35!!

Thank you for giving me such a wonderful opportunity, Lily Rie Toyoshima!!

Actually the day before yesterday was her first son’s birthday.

Happy Birthday, Curtis!!

And…after that, I went to my precious friend’s birthday party too.

She performed Tango and Salsa with Alex at her house in front of 50 people!!

It was fantastic!! Their dancing was marvelous!!

Happy Birthday, K!!!

I performed a few ZUMBA tracks with Rie S and Yukari then.

Thank you, Rie S and Yukari!!

We danced through til midnight.

Rie S’s Birthday was the 26th of this month and Lily Rie’s was 27th.

Happy Birthdays, both Ries!!

My birthday is today.

There are lots of friends whose birthdays are at the end of March.

I’ve never spent such a substantial, wonderful and unforgettable birthday.

Thank you so much, everyone.

ZUMBA STEP starts from April 2014

 

New lesson will start from Tuesday the 1st of April.

 

ZUMBA STEP

 

画像

 

This programme is simpler and easier than the usual ZUMBA, and includes more danceable choreography than the usual Step lessons.

I want to recommend it not only to people who like both programmes, but also to people who like one but don’t like the other.

The lesson is just for 45 minutes and you may feel it is short, but you can tone and tighten your body quickly.

画像

It’s just come to Australia from the U.S.A.

It’s already considerably popular in Europe.

画像

Anyway, try it once!!

As the number of platforms is limited, please book in advance.

The first lesson is free for everyone (Booking is needed).

There are 5 platforms left for 1/4/2014.

Book it A.S.A.P!!

There are free parking spaces as well.

I went to Brisbane with my ZUMBA partner, Megumi, to attend a ZUMBA STEP workshop today.

Help Japan~ Free ZUMBA and KIDS HIP HOP Lessons~

3.11. Yesterday was an unforgettable day for us, Japanese people, and we must not forget it. The big earthquake and tsunami struck east Japan on this day 3 years ago.
I was in Japan then and saw lots of damage and people in panic.

Even now people who live in the east area are still struggling with reconstruction of their local areas and trying to find hope.

I met one lady who is organizing an event, HELP JAPAN, yesterday. She asked me to perform in it. I thought that it was meaningful for me to have been asked on that unforgettable day. Thank you, Rie Lily Toyoshima. I’m really happy to help you.

I am going to run ZUMBA (for adults) and KIDS HIP HOP (for 5~12 year old children) with my ZUMBA partner, MEGUMI.

HIP HOP ADULT BEGINNERS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13En0HLHdJY&feature=youtu.be

This movie was taken on the 13th of February, 2014.

I started this class from November, 2013.

They hadn’t experienced Hip Hop lessons before they joined my classes 3 month ago. I’m really proud of them.
I think they are enthusiastic and just love Hip Hop music.

This class is for real begginers. I never do dangerous movement such a break dance.

It usually takes about 1 and a half month to finish a choriography.
This week is the 4th week starting a new choriography.
We’re doing a slow tempo song now.
Why don’t you join us?

During the past 20 years, the number of obese and overweight children has risen rapidly.

One reason for this rise is the prevalence of technology and media that promotes sedentary behavior. Children spend a lot of time in front of the television, playing video games, and researching and learning on the computer.

画像

Technology provides value, convenience, and entertainment, but it should not take the place of movement and active play.

Numerous studies have been conducted on the matter and many indicate that the availability of technology contributes to a sedentary lifestyle and weight gain in children.

Kids want to do much more informal activities like Hip Hop dance!!

画像

What’s the benefit of Kids Hip Hop lessons?

★Help to increase bone density!

★Improve muscular strength!

★Increase blood flow bringing nutrients throughout the body, resulting in more energy!

★Help to lose excess weight if already overweight!!

画像

Physical activity for children is important.

Why don’t you motivate your children?

I’m happy to help with that.

画像

All children who join KIDS HIP HOP can get a Kids Card like this.

They can get one sticker every lesson.

When 10 stickers are collected, there will be a surprising present!!

Come and join in!!

Celebrate St. Patrik Day!!

Show me your passion!!

Yay!!

Are you giving up losing weight?

I run a 45 minute ZUMBA lesson with another instructor, Megumi, every Tuesday morning at Southport Community Centre.

It is good for young mothers after childbirth and people who have no confidence joining 60 minute ZUMBA lessons.

Did you know that we can burn 500~1000kcal in a ZUMBA lesson?

You’ll surprisingly realise you can lose weight off your waist quickly once you start having ZUMBA lessons, thanks to the intensive Latin dance style movements used.

You shouldn’t give up losing weight !! Let’s enjoy burning fat together!

After a 45 minute ZUMBA lesson, we have a 15 minute ZUMBA KIDS JR. lesson, which is for children who have not entered preps (still in kindergarten). It’s free for all children !!

It is said that in Australia in 2008, 25% of children aged 2-16 were overweight or obese.

For a child, being physically active is extremely important for their health and development.

According to the World Health Organization, physical inactivity is the “fourth leading risk factor for global mortality.” Exercise is a big part of the physical activity children should receive.

Why don’t you motivate your children to exercise?

We are happy to help you and your children exercise.

We have a child minding service, so while you enjoy your ZUMBA lesson, our child care staff member, Mao, will look after your child ($3 per child). . Please book in advance. 0448-012-933 ( MAYUMI )
