Thursday class is jazz hip hop style at the moment.
Saturday class is based on hip hop including locking dance sometimes.
This kids crew is composed of 4-6 years old kids.
We tried to let them perform a half of their performance without assistant instructors on stage for the first time. It was successful.
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.
She started dancing when she was 3 years old. Dance classic ballet for 12 years. Contemporary dance for 2 years.
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.
This was the third time that we performed at Gold Coast Multicultural Festival which is held every year (Japanese page 日本語ページ → マルチカルチュラルフェスティヴァル 2017 )
SWAN FITNESS is a mixture of adult and child dance performers. Adult performers are joining a lesson held on Saturday morning at Southport Community Centre. The lesson is based on Hip Hop including Lock dance and Jazz dance etc.
We are also looking for performers who can join Yume-Yui’17 coming on the 12th of March 2017 at Robina Community Centre, Auditrium (1:00-4:00 pm), which is a charity concert for the recovery of the Great East Japan Earthquake 2011 and Kumamoto Earthquake 2016.
This is an edited video of Yume-Yui’16.
SWAN FITNESS’s performances are here.
Why don’t you join the Freestyle Dance Lesson and perform at Yume-Yui’17?
Every year this season reminds Japanese people of a tragedy.
Do you remember that the Great East Japan Earthquake attacked Japan on the 11th of March 2011?
The recovery effort is continuing even now.
To hold a charity concert for the recovery, Japanese traditional art performers will get together on the Gold Coast from Japan and Thailand, not only Gold Coast residents.
We will produce a brilliant stage to make a bright future realizing everyone’s dream.
I was in Japan when the earthquake happened.
My hometown is close to the area where explosions occurred at the reactors because of the earthquake and radioactive materials were leaking from the plant.
I can remember everything as if things happened yesterday.
Now I live on the Gold Coast, but I don’t think I can forget about that.
SWAN FITNESS performance members and I will gladly join YUME-YUI ’16 (←Click this for more information about the concert).
Depending on the lessons, the last day is different.
Please be careful of that.
