22.01.2022 #Repost @zumba @get_repost_easily #repost_easily To our Black Community - We see you. We stand with you. We hurt with you. We are working on ways to use our platform to make a difference and to start, we are donating $50,000 to the @NAACP. We will use our voice, we will move forward together. #BlackLivesMatter

20.01.2022 Just F.Y.I. as we are anticipating the face to face class structure again, hopefully soon - this vid is about the heritage of swing dance. Recalling our own parents' fav performers like Mahalia Jackson & Nat King Cole, they both made a huge impression on ourselves too - even though we grew up in the 80s. https://www.youtube.com/watch

18.01.2022 Swingin' Under The Stars with OceanStudiosSA Taken after the workshop - many party goers were still on their way to the event ;) Bestest party in town!!

16.01.2022 Over the weekend we got to watch a TV movie (1992 - came out 5 years after the lindy hop revival started): STOMPIN' AT THE SAVOY. Depicting 4 young black women who are trying to achieve their dreams of success in the 1930s Harlem. Lindy legend Norma Miller received an Emmy award for the dance choreography and both her and Frankie Manning have a short cameo in this flick. Krista Zumba Port Macquarie

15.01.2022 A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!! DRUM ROLL >>>>> We will be back on the dancefloor January 22 with all Covid safety measures in place. Emails have been sent out to gather expressions of interest so we can plan and post our timetable accordingly. Feel free to share this post with your friends. Everyone welcome to join us, but numbers are limited. Don't hesitate to contact (PM/email) us re info/booking/suggestions. Yours in dancing, Joris & Krista from OceanStudiosSA

14.01.2022 Instead of celebrating 8 years of OceanStudiosSA & Zumba Krista (we had booked the venue and the band already Pre-Covid for June 27), we are hosting our very first Virtual Zumba Fundraiser this coming SATURDAY 20 JUNE. Everyone can join this event from the comfort of their own home: dance, connect with a happy & kind community and lift up the spirit of one of our own (Port) community workers Robyn who is facing the 2nd cancer battle in her young life. You don't even have to love Zumba to be able to join in, we bet you have as much fun watching it all unfold... via ZOOM. https://www.portnews.com.au//zumba-like-no-ones-watching/

12.01.2022 Can you believe that our first and last social dance event in 2020 took place 6 months ago?? Never ever have we been deprived from the opportunity to go out and dance ourselves silly for this long. :'( Even when we turned parents, twice round, our 'break' from going out social dancing may have been a few weeks MAX !!! Do you still remember how it feels to get excited for such evenings? What does dressing up to the nines even feel like... Social distancing guidelines have chan...ged our 'social life' immensely and we feel that a huge part of our existence, who we are as a couple and as partners in life is missing. We absolutely loved this type of fun-filled physical activity with other human beings for as long as we have been together in our relationship. To create these events in Oz, jolly and carefree for young and old to enjoy has defined us: every month, during 8 beautiful years. The uncertainty of not knowing when this will return without certain levels of situational anxiety and stress is extremely tough to bare. To use the immortal words from Star Trek: "It's Life Jim, but not as we know it". Stay safe and keep smiling friends, we miss you all J & K See more

11.01.2022 We get asked regularly why we are not returning back to our social dance classes. Our priority, as always, is to ensure the health and safety of our community. It is crucial, especially during the current 1st Coronavirus wave in Australia to, remain cautious and wait until it is safe for everyone to return to partner dancing. Social partner dance classes may be tricky to resume as long as the 1.5m physical distancing guidelines remain in place. We notice that face to face partner dancing has started again in some other States and in New Zealand. We do keep an eye out on the information from government health departments and keep you posted. We miss our dance family and social dance parties as much as you do. Stay safe friends <3 <3 <3

11.01.2022 Dance friends If you have a minute, please check your email/spam folder. Your feedback is requested re a few things. Let's move up and on-wards from now. Thank you <3 Joris & Krista OceanStudiosSA
