The Adventures of Olga - June 2024

1/6/2024

0 Comments

 
In the current chapter of the Adventures of Olga...
  • I managed to drop my keys down the lift shaft after my first aged care class on Monday. I had to Uber to my next class and then Uber back to the first location to wait for the elevator person to travel up from the Gold Coast. And yes, I did get my keys back, albeit with a few grey hairs on them... ew! 
  • Then I started to feel a head cold coming on, so I had to cancel my remaining aged care classes for this week. I won't have much of a future in aged care if I spread my germs to all the residents, right?!
  • And after my Zumba Gold Bulimba class last night, I binged on all 6 episodes of Maxton Hall (on Prime Video). Soo good.

National Hot Cross Buns Day is actually in September...?

20/3/2024

12 more sleeps until Easter!

And I'm sure the hot cross buns have been out since January. I wonder how many different variations there are this year - fruit, no fruit, gluten free, chocolate, etc.

​Fun fact - National Hot Cross Buns Day is 11 September (because that makes perfect sense - not!). ​

Saying farewell to some classes!

30/5/2023

0 Comments

 
As of 29 May 2023, we only have TWO more weeks of Council-funded Zumba Gold Fitness classes for this financial year.

Final Active & Healthy classes will be held from Tuesday 6 June to Saturday 10 June. PLUS that week is also my 50th birthday!! So, it's going to be a HUGE week!

We'll be having CATCH-UPS for each class (see below) as well as saying FAREWELL to a number of classes *sad face*.

As per my previous email (read here), I will not be continuing classes at Acacia Ridge, Bellbowrie, Inala and Richlands. However, I have been advised by Brisbane City Council that the Richlands class is being taken over by another Zumba Gold instructor, Jessie, who some of you already know and love.

Active & Healthy Class Updates for 2023/2024

10/3/2023

1 Comment

 
UPDATE FROM OLGA: There are some CHANGES to my Active and Healthy class schedule for the NEXT financial year (July 2023 to June 2024). 

As many of you know, I have sustained knee (and shoulder) injuries. The number of Zumba Gold classes I'm currently doing is putting too much load on my body. After speaking with my coach and my physio, I have chosen to cut back on my Active and Healthy classes for the 2023/2024 financial year.

Why Dance?

15/5/2016

0 Comments

 
As a dance instructor, I'm a obviously a massive fan of dancing.

I dance because I love music and I enjoy moving my body to music. I love the freedom and the self-expression - I'll frequently be joyfully dancing around my kitchen and living room to a song on the radio! It's a great opportunity to play and stop being so serious.

After I dance, I feel energised, and I'm always in a good mood, no matter what kind of day I had! I find dancing is a fantastic stress-reliever for me as well. 

This blog post was inspired by an article I came across "Why Dance for Fitness: Here are 9 Reasons".

How many lessons do I need to be a good dancer?

What a great question!

I came across a blog addressing this question and thought I'd share it with you.

People can forget that dancing is a skill. And, like with any skill, it requires mental effort and practice to improve that skill. Unless you are a super genius, I would say it's pretty much impossible to become fluent in a foreign language in a few lessons.

Read the full blog here. So, my advice is to be kind to yourself (and your dance partner). Learning to dance is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy it!

What's the difference between BoogieFit and Zumba?

9/7/2015

​What's the difference between BoogieFit and Zumba?

There are two major differences between BoogieFit Solo Latin Dance and Zumba Fitness classes.

One of the big differences is that Zumba classes are available worldwide; Zumba Certified Instructors receive Zumba music and choreography for use in the classes. BoogieFit is only offered by BoogieCamp in Brisbane - and thus BoogieFit is unique in its music selection and choreography. All choreography taught in BoogieFit is created by BoogieCamp's owner, Olga Gjokmarkovic (that's me!). You won't find choreography in BoogieFit anywhere else!

Zumba Gold is getting spicy

Zumba Gold is a fun, simple and low impact fitness class. Add some spice to your evenings this winter as we'll be adding more Indian tracks in the Zumba Gold classes, including Bollywood.

Did You Know? The term Bollywood was coined in the 1970s by combining two names, Bombay (now called Mumbai) and Hollywood. It is India’s, and the world’s, largest film industry in terms of the number of films produced, and number of tickets sold each year!
