25.01.2022 Hi Ladies! Finally our first post! Over the coming weeks we'll be sharing some of the dances on our page in case you are wanting to learn some of the steps. For the record, I'd just like to say how sad it was to watch myself on video and see my tuck shop lady arms in full swing (literally! ). Oh well, what can you do! Here's a couple of tips for when you're learning a dance and also about how to tailor the dances to your fitness level: 1) Concentrate on the footwork fir...st. Don't worry about your arms. And, just do the basics. Don't worry about fancy hip moves or anything like that at the beginning. 2) As you get to know the song you'll hear changes in the music and that can often be a cue to change steps. The more you hear the song the better you will know when those changes are coming. 3) Do the move how it feels most natural to you. Don't worry about copying exactly what we are doing. The only important thing is to move your feet in the right direction so that we don't crash into each other. Apart from that, have fun with it. 4) Use smaller steps if you are finding it hard to keep up with the music. 5) We will always try to show a lower impact/simpler version and a higher impact/trickier version. Just work at what suits you most. Low impact just means one foot is on the ground at all times. Higher impact involves both feet leaving the ground like jumping. 6) If you're getting tired or want to lower your heart rate while you're dancing, stop using your arms and keep your steps really basic, small and low. 7) You can increase your heart rate by doing the opposite to above (no.6), even when doing a low impact or simple version. Use big arms and really bend lower into the steps. Hope this helps!

24.01.2022 Hi Ladies. Just a reminder that we're doing our mini-lesson prior to the class tonight. This is for anyone who'd like a bit of extra help to learn the dances. It starts at about 5:40pm and goes for about 15 minutes. Anyone welcome. The mini-lesson is at no extra charge. :)

24.01.2022 Hi Ladies. Looking forward to seeing you tonight at 6pm. We are no longer running the mini-classes prior to the main class. You're all killling it on the dance floor so no need! See you soon!

23.01.2022 Hi Ladies! Our "learn the steps" mini-class is on again tonight. Starts at about 5:35pm and is FREE! Normal class is still on at 6pm. Look forward to seeing you there!

23.01.2022 Here is a breakdown of all of the steps for Pegate. I've posted the whole dance done to music in a separate post, so you can find it on our page if you want to look at the entire dance and hear the music first. Sorry, the sound quality of this one is not that good. Also, I didn't realise my shoes' tapping sound would be so noticeable. :)

21.01.2022 GREAT NEWS! We can start Wednesday night classes at the Mudgeeraba Showground Hall whenever we want! Please have a quick read below and feel free to get back to us with your feedback: 1) We are happy to start this coming week, the 23rd if there is enough interest, so please let us know if you're keen. Otherwise, the plan is to start the following week. 2) To spice things up a bit, we're thinking of stepping back in time and making Wednesday night's class an 80's/90's aero...bics class. I was a bit of an aerobic junkie "back in the old days" and loved it so much that I became an aerobic instructor in the early 90's. I still have my little blue book of all the choreography I used back then. Sadly, years ago I chucked out my awesome aerobics tapes (big mistake!) but I can get some great 80's and 90's music that we can groove to. As a part of the class we will also do strengthening and toning exercising with weights, and some abdominal work at the end. PLEASE NOTE: No need to wear 80's aerobics attire. PLEASE let us know if this idea puts you off coming on a Wednesday night. This class is for your enjoyment, so we are happy to do what you guys enjoy. Feel free to PM us if you'd rather not leave a comment. But, please do let us know your thoughts. For those who don't know what aerobics is: a) It's exercising to music, but doesn't really use the dance moves we do on Monday night. b)The music is non-stop! That means there are no breaks in between songs. Don't worry, though, because you can stop anytime to grab a drink and catch your breath. c) You don't have to remember any choreography from one week to the next because I teach you the moves as we do the class. d) You always work at your own level. I'll show a low impact and high impact version and ways you can slow things down or get your heart rate up.

19.01.2022 Here's the first dance! It's the one that will get your heart rate up! It's called Pegate. EDIT: sorry guys, I think FB muted the music!

15.01.2022 Hi Ladies! Just a reminder that we are starting our "learn the steps" mini-class" this coming Monday. Just spending about 15-20 minutes before the class begins going over some of the new dances. We'll be there at about 5:35pm. No charge for the mini-class. :)

13.01.2022 I've dusted off my aerobics gear for tonight's 90's retro aerobics class! This was one of my favourite outfits back in 1995! So excited I can still squeeze into it - only just! And, just realised it's from Rockwear Look forward to grooving to some 90s tunes with you tonight

12.01.2022 Who's keen for fitness a class in Nerang? It would be on Thursday at 6pm near the council chambers. I am in the process of possibly booking the room, but just want to get some feedback to see if there's much interest. We can make it a latin dance fitness or retro-aerobics class (or a bit of both). Drop us your thoughts in the comments.

11.01.2022 We have a new class starting Thursday the 26th of November at 6pm! Come to the Nerang Bicentennial Hall and try our new "Combo Class". We'll be doing retro aerobics, latin dance fitness, and toning! Newcomers only $5 for your first visit

09.01.2022 Are you ready to get down tonight to some epic hits from the 80s? I've got my leg warmers and fluro ready to go. Hope to see you tonight for our first 80s themed retro aerobics class!

09.01.2022 Hi Ladies! Here's our tricky dance, Despacito. Sorry, but I messed up in one of the tricky parts! Also, sorry if the music doesn't come through. I think FB mutes it.

09.01.2022 Here's a breakdown of the Say Na Say Na dance for anyone who wants to learn the steps and practise it at home. :)

07.01.2022 Don't forget we're doing our first aerobic style class tonight at 6pm! We've got some 90s music all ready to go! Bring the usual gear - water bottle, hand weights, and a mat. Hope to see you there!

05.01.2022 Here's our Bollywood style dance, Say Na Say Na. I may seem a little confused in parts of it. That's because I am! I had to take the video in "selfie mode" which made everything reversed. This meant I had to do the dance on the opposite foot so that it looked like the correct leg for you. Hope that makes sense! Anyway, here it is..................:)

04.01.2022 Hope to see you all tomorrow night @ 6pm for some more 80’s aerobics! Here’s a clip from last Wednesday’s retro aerobics class

01.01.2022 Here is a breakdown of all of the steps for Despacito. I've posted the whole dance done to music in a separate post. When I mention at the end of this video that I made a boo-boo, I was referring to the video of the dance in full (just so I don't confuse you).
