24.01.2022 I mean, let's be honest- we have to! We've been pretty quiet on here for most of this year but we were far too busy having real life experiences with schools, holiday programs and helping kids celebrate their birthdays. Then life got cray cray.... As you know. Every single upcoming booking was cancelled or if it wasn't, we cancelled it because we 100% support the 'stay at home' movement. Our team of incredible teachers lost all their teaching and performing work. Many would b...e touring the world with shows right now or performing at corporate events over the weekend. With all of us at FunFit suddenly out of work and all the kids of the world now stuck at home, we have to do something about it. We've been very busy behind the scenes over the past few weeks developing se online classes plus planning some kids shows and kids parties. Right now we're calling on all teachers and parents in our network to give us a little feedback so we can create a schedule that works for you plus other resources that will help keep your students and kids active and entertained. Click the link below if you've got 5 minutes to help us help you. If you haven't joined the FunFit Online group then jump onboard with us there. We've been offering LIVE classes by donation already and you can access them via this group. We hope you're all doing ok and we'll keep you updated as we roll out FunFit Online. Stay safe everyone and don't forget to call on your friends and family when you need them

23.01.2022 Give your friend a helping hand... or in this case they might fall over! These happy boys are demonstrating a counter-balance. We teach these in our acrobalance classes. They require good teamwork, collaboration, communication and trust. It's a really fun way to develop these fundamental social skills. Not only that, acrobalance develops your core stablity, strength and balance. Give it a go with your students or kids. Teaching tips: hold each others wrist...s (not hands), keep your body nice and straight, don't arch your back. Start by holding both hands and lean away from each other. Then you can let go of one hand. It helps if you're a similar size to each other but if one partner is smaller, they will need to lean back further to balance out the weight imbalance. Try it today! #acrobalance #counterbalance #collaboration #circusskills See more

18.01.2022 We love it when the teachers get involved in our workshops too. This teacher and her student are learning the circus art of staff spinning, or in this case balancing. Staff is a fire twirling skill, which you may have seen in action. Have you seen someone spinning a stick like this with fire on each end? We teach the fire-spinning skills but with practice Staff like this. They're also great for balancing on different body parts. One of our favourite activities to try with the students is to have them suggest where they can balance the staff. They come up with some really creative ideas, including balancing on one hand and throwing and catching it on the other. This is a great activity for students of all ages, even big kids! #staffspinning #flowarts #firetwirling

17.01.2022 Kiii-aaaah! We love teaching Martial Arts and KickFit to kids! Have you tried a Martial Arts class before? It involves learning different punching, kicking and blocking techniques and you might even get to yell out some "Kiyahs" too. KickFit is a martial arts/ aerobics fusion where you do repetitive punches and kicks in time with music. It's high energy and lots of fun.... Our Martial Arts and KickFit classes are non-contact, safe and kids really get a kick out of them! Get it? See more

15.01.2022 Our Melbourne teachers are back in schools! With restrictions finally lifting enough for us to be back to in-person teaching in Victoria, we've been flat out with last minute bookings and re-bookings rolling in. No complaints here! It's so great to be back in the same room as our students after several months of Zoom classes. This fabulous team were out at Brighton Beach Primary last week running a Circus Fun Day for all the Grade 1/2's of the school. Our teachers... Shona and Jade (that's me!) have also been working with their Grade 6 students over the past 8 weeks to create a Graduation performance combining hip-hop dance and circus. It's looking shmik! Good luck with the show on Monday kids, you've been working so hard and your parents are going to be blown away! Congratulations on graduating grade 6. You did it!

15.01.2022 Our fabulous Sydney circus entertainers Ruby Star and Shiho had the kids at North St Mary's Children's Centre entertained for hours last week! . They created unique balloon art for each child, performed a magic show, a hula hoop show and some hat tricks for them. Then the girls taught all their favourite circus tricks to the kids so they could be circus stars too! . Thanks for having us North St Mary's, we loved entertaining your kids!... . #schoolholidays #holidayprogram #incursion #schoolincursion @ North St Marys See more

14.01.2022 WE'RE BACK!! And it feels so good! Our teachers Colette and Nerida taught Breakdance and Pilates at Oakleigh Grammar today in their OSHC. It's been 3.5 months since we've been able to teach in-person classes and we've missed visiting schools, OSHC's and all our other Holiday Program clients. It's so great to be back in the room with the kids and BACK TO FUN!!

12.01.2022 Our hip-hop teacher Colette didn't mind working on a Sunday yesterday to run a zoom class for the Girls Club at The Friendship Circle in St Kilda They love learning from Colette who has visited them on several occasions over the past 2 years to teach hip-hop dance and Zumba classes. After postponing this session twice over the past 6 months (I don't need to tell you why!) we decided to run it via zoom and the girls loved dancing with Colette again! (Especially the chicken... move as you'll hear at the end of the first video ) "Thank you for the session today -Collette was amazing and all the girls really loved it." Yardena The students we teach at Friendship Circle are a group of mixed ability students aged 10-20 plus some volunteers. Colette knows how to break down the choreography into simple steps (see video 1) and included dance steps with larger arm movements as she knew these would be easier for the students to do. She minimised the footwork for the routine she taught them. No hip-hop class is complete without a dance party so Colette and the students had a freestyle together at the end- check out her rad moves in the 2nd video Nothing will stop us from dancing with your students! Our zoom classes have been super successful with 100% raving reviews. Send me a message to request more info. Jade

12.01.2022 Our team were out at St John Vianney's PS in Mulgrave yesterday to deliver hours of fun to 66 Prep students. This is our dance/mind-body trio who taught hip-hop dance, yoga and zumba. Before we got the kids bouncing around, our circus team had the kids juggling, doing human pyramids and clowning around. What a day for the Preppies! They were super enthusiastic and LOVED their FunFit Fun Day, asking the teachers when they were going to come back again.

10.01.2022 Our circus team are on their way to the King Valley to run circus workshops, paint faces and perform all weekend at the Gnocchi Carnevale at @pizziniwines. It's a great weekend for the whole family so make sure you get along for the delicious wine and home-made gnocchi and we'll keep the kids happy while you relax in the sun with a gorgeous country backdrop. @ Pizzini Wines

08.01.2022 I had lots of fun with the Grade 6 kids Brighton Beach Primary School in Melbourne today! We'll be teaching these students (via zoom of course) over the next 8 weeks to prepare them for a hip-hop/circus extravaganza performance for their Grade 6 Graduation No pandemic is going to get in the way of us helping these kids produce something awesome!

06.01.2022 It's party time! Did you know FunFit can bring the party to you? Choose from the following themes: hip-hop dance, breakdance, circus, yoga and musical theatre. FUN!

04.01.2022 We couldn't agree with this more! Every time you practice something, it makes you a little bit better than last time. Whether that's spinning a hula hoop, trying to juggle, trying to learn dance steps, or learning a language. Never compare yourself to anyone else, always compare yourself to how you went last time you practiced. #practice #learn #youcandoit #motivation

04.01.2022 Juggling balls Juggling scarves Hula hoops Spinning plates Peacock feathers for balancing ... Hi it's me, Jade, FunFit's founder and director. All set for a circus teaching tour through regional QLD for holiday programs Meanwhile our fabulous teams in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth are delivering Breakdance, Circus, Hip-hop, Zumba, Yoga, Martial Arts and TikTok Dances to holiday programs in all of those cities. Phew! What a busy couple of weeks in FunFit-land. And we love it!

03.01.2022 Hello! This is FunFit's Director and Head Coach, Jade. I have a confession to make- I am TERRIBLE at keeping up with social media posts! BUT I'm pretty darn good at hula hooping, dancing, some other circus things and my favourite thing to do- teaching! Who else is more passionate about existing in the real world and connecting with people than you are about scrolling insta or Facebook?? ... So here is a photo of me yesterday, beaming with excitement after teaching a Zoom hula hoop class for @teamkidsaustralia to 3 of their Melbourne holiday programs. As we know, we aren't able to visit the programs in Melbourne at the moment but it was so great to be able to teach the kids anyway and they did great! Lucky the schools had hula hoops so we could still run the session. Today I have a Zoom hip-hop class with @monashlibraries so the only equipment the kids need is their bodies and a cool hip-hop attitude Sending out a high 5 to all the hard working school teachers out there for a great job in term 2 and I hope you get to relax hard over the school holidays #schoolholidays #holidayprogram #hulahoopforkids #danceforkids

03.01.2022 Wow what a day! This is just one of the many highlights from our Fun Day out at Holy Eucharist Primary in St Albans today. The Grade 5/6's recently raised money for their school community and they did such a great job that the school rewarded them with FunFit visiting their school for the day. 6 classes of students participated in 30min sessions of Breakdance, Hip-hop Dance, Zumba, Yoga, Acrobalance and Martial Arts. Thank you Holy Eucharist, you're now one of our favourite ...schools we've ever worked at! The students were all enthusiastic, eager to learn , respectful and so appreciative of what we were there to teach them. This makes our job so much fun. We love seeing kids shine, trying new things they've never done before and realising they can achieve things they never knew. Thanks to our awesome teaching team today, you all killed it as usual!

02.01.2022 Look at all those focussed kids! Our teacher Stephanie taught them how to be 20% cooler in a hip-hop class at the YMCA Geelong - School Holiday Program
