“Happy” is just one of those songs that you can’t help but like when you hear it. Even after you hear it on the radio 5000 times, the 5001st time you still like it. That’s why, when the kids in my after school program asked me to choreograph it for their last class of the […]
Dance Fitness: Uptown Funk
I’m aware I am behind the times only bringing this song out now. Sometimes it takes me a while to get going. In fact, it wasn’t until I saw Lindsay Taylor’s video on Instagram that I even considered bringing it into the rotation. And that was back in February so that makes me even further behind the […]
A New Body Sculpt Video: Chest Focus
It’s another crazy Thursday in Suzi-ville (Thursdays = 5 fitness classes, oye.) so this is going to be a quick one! Since it’s Thursday I’ve got a new video to share with you, this is another Body Sculpt song, this one is a chest focus! The video seems to be in better focus than the […]
Your Workout Is In YOUR Hands
I thought I’d take a few minutes today to talk about something that drives me a bit bonkers from time to time and that is taking responsibility for your workout. I think I’ve written about this before, but it is worth writing about again. When you go to a fitness class there is the expectation […]
Do As I Say, Not As I Do
Happy Thursday Friends! I do have a new video to share with you, but first I want to talk about something… Back in January I wrote this post about how I’d gained weight over Christmas and how I wasn’t upset about it. And I wasn’t. And I’m still not. However, I had thought I would have […]
3 Tips to Overcome (mental) Burn Out
Heeeeeey! I gotta say, since the sun has decided to come out a few times this week I’m feeling a whole lot less cranky. Man this has been a rough winter for us in Nova Scotia. I’ve droned on and on about it here and in my email newsletters (sorry!) but all of Nova Scotia […]
Body Sculpt
Prior to becoming a Zumba Instructor I was teaching regular old fitness classes, in fact if you’ve been around this blog since the beginning, you might even remember when I went to my first Zumba training. Sadly I can’t link to what I’m sure was an amazing post 😉 since many of my old posts […]
Dance Fitness: Caramelo
I somehow managed to choreograph this routine in my head one day last week on my way to teach a class. It’s to Caramelo from Mega Mix 46. I choreographed it thinking it was a Cumbia, but then realized it was a Reggaeton but decided not to change my choreography, because well – I liked […]
Kids Dance Fitness: Everything Is Awesome!
It’s the Thursday before Easter, which means it’s basically Friday, since tomorrow is Good Friday, which means that everything IS awesome 😉 so it seemed fitting to share this video today! Anyone with kids is going to recognize this song from The Lego Movie, and if you haven’t noticed, I like using songs from movies […]
Kids Dance Fitness: The Party Starts Now
This week I’m sharing two more kids routines, I would classify these as Zumba Kids Jr, or if you’re not a Zumba instructor, they would be appropriate for kids aged 7 and under. The first one is to a Club Penguin song called “The Part Starts Now” and I have an old (terribly fuzzy) video […]
