Battle of the Solos: BoogieFit vs Zumba Gold

23/4/2018

1 Comment

 
If you want to shake it solo, you may be unsure as to which class would best suit you:
  • BoogieFit Solo Latin Dance
  • Zumba Gold Fitness

Let's break it down and see what's different and what's the same.

Latin vs International:
BoogieFit is purely LATIN whilst Zumba Gold is INTERNATIONAL (Latin plus Indian and more).
  • If you want to learn Latin dance only, choose BoogieFit Solo Latin Dance.
  • If you want to learn more than just Latin, you can get your fix of Latin plus other genres such as Bollywood and Rock'n'Roll with Zumba Gold Fitness!

Dance vs Fitness:
BoogieFit is a dance-based class whilst Zumba Gold Fitness is a fitness-based class. 
  • You'll learn real Latin dance steps in BoogieFit, whilst Zumba Gold Fitness includes a combination of dance steps, fitness variations of dance steps and aerobics moves.
  • You'll move more continuously in Zumba Gold Fitness whilst BoogieFit will be more stop/start as we stop to break down a move then we will practise it.

Simple vs Challenging:
Go simple with Zumba Gold Fitness or challenge yourself with BoogieFit Solo Latin Dance.
  • If you don't want to think too much, go for Zumba Gold Fitness, which focuses on simple moves and choreography.
  • If you're up for a mental and physical challenge, go for BoogieFit, where you'll learn Latin dance steps and exercise your brain with more complex choreography.

Intensity
  • Zumba Gold Fitness is low intensity and low impact. 
  • BoogieFit is mostly low impact but the intensity level is higher than Zumba Gold Fitness.

BoogieFit Solo Latin Dance
  • Solely Latin
  • Dance Based
  • Simple, Low Intensity
  • BoogieFit ​YouTube Channel
  • BoogieFit Class Page
Zumba Gold Fitness
  • Latin, Indian and other rhythms
  • Fitness Based
  • Challenging, Medium Intensity
  • ​Zumba Gold YouTube Channel​

Did you know there's more than one Zumba?

28/10/2016

0 Comments

 
Everybody has heard of Zumba and you've probably tried at least one class, but did you know there's more than one type of Zumba class? 
Back in the late 1990s, a Colombian dancer and choreographer by the name of Alberto "Beto" Perez rocked up to teach an aerobics class and realised he'd forgotten his music. Armed with a cassette tape of traditional Latin, Salsa and Merengue music, Beto adapted the class to the non-traditional aerobics music.

The result formed the essence of what Zumba® Fitness is today - a dance fitness class using Latin and World rhythms. By taking the "work" out of workout, Zumba® classes are now attended by 15 million people across 180 countries in 200,000 locations.

​The original Zumba® class started the dance-fitness revolution but now there's so much more to explore. Would you believe there are over TEN Zumba specialty classes? ​​

If you wanted more couples dance workshops, your wish is now my command!

​I am introducing Couples Latin Dance Workshops in Salsa, Rumba and Bolero this month.

These are in addition to the current Tango For Two workshops but are replacing the Couples Dance Practice Sessions. Unfortunately I've had to cancel the practice sessions due to very low attendance.
  • No partner swapping.
  • No dance experience required.

Why come to a Couples Latin Dance Workshop?

Dance to stay young (no leotards required)

11/7/2016

0 Comments

 
Okay, first of all, I've given you a bit of a teaser headline. I was inspired by an interesting documentary I watched last week called "How to stay young".

Dancing has been proven to be better than the gym in strengthening muscles and improving flexibility and balance.

As I lover of dance, I'm excited by these results! Read the details below.

Documentary: What's with Wheat?

24/6/2016

0 Comments

 
This is a must-watch documentary. Did you know that 80-90% of our skincare and supplements have wheat in it? I didn't!

And this documentary is not just about wheat. 
​
  • It's about how we grow/produce our food, the use of chemicals in that process and how those chemicals impact us. It's about how 70% of our genes that are involved in our health and longevity are actually within our control.
  • It's about the importance of a healthy gut to eliminate chronic disease, including auto immune diseases.
  • It's about the fact that we are using a lot of our land for ingredients that aren't great for our health - wheat, corn, sugar. I love the possibility of ecological agriculture and renewing the fertility in our soils.

I will be taking a much greater interest into where my food comes from.


I hope you watch this documentary and then decide what's best for you.

Watch for free until 30 June 2016: http://www.whatswithwheat.com/

At one stage, this was one class: BoogieFit Solo Latin Dance, but from July 2016, this class is getting split into two.  So, what's the difference between them?

1. BoogieFit Latin Fitness Class
  • BoogieFit offers real Latin dance moves in a FITNESS class format.
  • You will learn beginner to intermediate moves in Salsa, Cha Cha, Bachata and other Latin styles!
  • If you want a dance-fitness class where you keep moving throughout the class, BoogieFit is for you. More info...

2. Solo Latin Dance Classes and Workshops
  • You will challenge your mind and body with solo Latin dance moves and choreography.
  • We stop to break down and learn each dance move, then build up to a choreography.
  • You'll work on your coordination, balance, body movement, styling and musicality.
  • If you want to dance, rather than exercise, then Solo Latin Dance is for you - available as weekly classes and monthly workshops. More info...

Recovery Rocket

15/5/2016

1 Comment

 
A friend of mine passed on a fantastic article by Andrew May about applying the principles of recovery for elite athletes into your everyday life. 

One of the principles was getting quality sleep 300 nights a year (or an average of six nights each week). "Quality sleep" means you wake up the following morning feeling totally refreshed and recharged.

Gulp! What a wake-up call for me! I'm more likely to get proper sleep for only 65 nights out of 365!! So, that's at least one principle I'll be working on!

A summary of the principles are as follows:
  • 1 Holiday or Off-Season
  • 3 Mini Breaks
  • 30 weeks of 100 recovery points
  • 300 nights of quality recharging sleep (gulp!)
  • go SLOW every day

​Download the full article here.

Which recovery principle will you be applying? Post your comments below.
