Reika and Sophie are assistant instructors of SWAN FITNESS Kids Dance.
The teenagers who learned ballet for a long time composed this choreography by mixing several types of dance.

 

Satoko joined our performance as a guest this time. She won a dance tournament in Japan and has an experience to work at a local kids dance school in Melbourne.

 

Reika is our Kids Dance Assistant Instructor and currently a Griffith university first year student, Studying education.

SWAN FITNESS’s dance lessons have changed recently.

Natchan (Natsuko)‘s Freestyle Dance Lesson (Saturday 10:00-10:45 am @ Southport Community Centre) used to be for mature teens & adults, but now we are accepting kids who want to join the lesson if they can follow along. The youngest ones are 9 year old girls at the moment.

Why don’t you dance with your kids?

Another freestyle dance lesson which is on Thursdays at 7:15-8:00 pm started as a regular lesson from this month.

The choreography is jazz hip hop style different from Saturday’s Freestyle Dance.

The first lesson of Mummy & Bubby Dance, Gold Coast

dance exercise, Weight loss, ZUMBA,

Mummy & Bubby Dance has just started.

Japanese page（日本語ページ）→ 中年女子の究極の選択

The lesson is designed for mothers who have little babies and run for using a baby carrier.

The first lesson was held on the 15th of May. Surprisingly all the babies fell asleep during the lesson. Thanks, all mums & bubs!

As a long time has passed since I gave birth and I wanted to understand young mothers’ situation and feeling even for just a bit, I put a 5 kg dumbbell in my carrier with a stuffed animal.

Actually a few babies are over 8 kg, so I will try a 7 kg dumbbell the next time.

The choreography is not hard compared with ZUMBA lessons I usually run and doesn’t include high impact movements, but I sweated more than I thought I would.

I could sleep well that night.

Mummy & Bubby Dance gave me a good deep sleep, not only babies♡♡♡

Do not give up exercising, young mothers!! 

SWAN FITNESS Schedule for May 2017

Open your workshop on the Gold Coast

health, ZUMBA, ,

A fulfilling time with Masayo finished. She came from Japan and stayed on the Gold Coast for 6 days. (Japanese page 日本語ページ→ゴールドコーストでワークショップを開く)

She has  over 15 years fitness instructor experience, teaching ZUMBA, aerobics, Pilates and Yoga in Japan. She is a personal trainer as well.

She not only instructed a few ZUMBA lessons, but also performed at an event with me on the Gold Coast.

She opened a workshop of Pilates as well.

As lots of special words are used in the class and we wanted to provide infallible information to the participants, we ran it all in Japanese.

We could get some brilliant feedback from the members like ” I feel so much better”, ” It really helped.” and ” I can do these exercises at home too.”

We are planning the next workshop with an interpreter. Look forward to it.

I really enjoyed other instructor’s workshop this time.

Why don’t you open your workshop with us when you visit the Gold Coast?

Thanks to Masayo’s visiting, various ideas came up and I could make lots of silly videos too. → Playful Videos

Mummy & Bubby Dance

We are going to start a new lesson program for mothers who have little babies.

I am Mayumi, a 16 years experienced fitness instructor teaching aerobics, step, Hip Hop, muscle training classes and ZUMBA.

Through my group exercise lessons, I met lots of mothers who gave up joining the lessons because of their babies. I felt sorry for them every time I saw them.

I understand young mothers’ impatience. They may think that they have to go on a diet.

I remember the time when I could get back into my job after my childbirth. My son was 2 months old then.

I really appreciate my mother who took care of my son.

I think it is a bit hard for mothers whose mothers don’t live close but have babies to exercise outside.

So I am going to start a new program.

One ZUMBA® instructor came from Melbourne to the GC

ZUMBA, , ,

Yesterday one ZUMBA® instructor came from Melbourne to the Gold Coast in the morning (15 Oct 2016).

(Japanese page→  初心に帰れた日)

3-instructor-zumba-3

I came to know Yuki through Facebook. It’s a small world. One of my assistant members used to join Yuki’s lessons in Melbourne when she had lived in Melbourne and moved to the Gold Coast.

Through the assistant member, Yuki and I connected last year, but we met yesterday for the first time directly.

I’ve never seen a ZUMBA® instructor like Yuki who is eager in pursuing ZUMBA® and has desire to improve herself before, which made me go back to basics.

Thanks for sharing fun time even though there was a sudden room changing, everyone!! 

Yuki joined Natsuko’s Freestyle Dance Lesson too.

 

After the lessons, we had a petite lunch party with beer and spent meaningful time♪

Thanks for everything, Yuki!!
