Trick or treat!

Halloween aka The Pagan holiday Samhain is also known as the Day of the Dead and is celebrated on the 31st of October, which this year conveniently falls on the day of our classes in Dance Ireland. This is a happy holiday (even though it celebrates ‘Death’) and it’s the day that the souls of dead people are believed to come back to Earth.

As such we are gonna celebrate this special day by dressing up for our classes. Dress code - wherever the wind blows you!

PS! Interesting fact about Halloween… (perhaps it will give you an idea for your costume)

Black and orange are typically associated with Halloween. Orange is a symbol of strength and endurance, and along with brown and gold, stands for the harvest of autumn. Black is typically a symbol of death and darkness and acts as a reminder that Halloween once was a festival that marked the boundaries of life and death.

Barcelona was fun!

What a beautiful weekend just gone in Barcelona on one of the most exciting Euroconvention events of the year this was. Highlights – totally wet like in the sauna due to air conditioning units, slippery floors as well as stage (use your fantasy to figure out what could have happened), totally awesome 3 days of fitness and dance, crazy Saturday night after-party with South-American rhythms and moves… In one word – SUPERB! Next year is on the way…

Have a look at the videos below and feel free to leave some comments!

Euro Fitnessmania Dublin 2013

It’s over! Euro Fitnessmania Dublin 2013 is over and all the positive feelings gathered still lingering in the system. What a wonderful event with all of you and with our amazing cast including Erle Liivak from Estonia/Ireland, Daniele Pietrini/Italy, Robert Cielecki Poland/Ireland and Iwona Nowak-Lakoma from Poland/Ireland. THANK YOU ALL!

Our event started with a Welcome Dance getting those up bright and early right into it and which challenged the body as well as mind. Robert’s Aerobox brought everything to the next level. Not only is this class a good cardio workout, but it works on your upper body as well as on lower body toning as hell. Definitely a class to participate! Easy routine, but super effective designed to leave you breathless! Erle’s Reggae got all the “booty shakers” totally smashed as the choreography highlight “floor work with a triceps dip as well as with a push-up” got even the strongest ones out of breath. Follow her weekly Reggaeton classes, if you are looking for strong legs and core and have an absolutely fabulous dance workout. Daniele’s Step was as flowing and relaxed as ever with participants smiling and giggling away with the excitement of being able to follow and have their brain challenged at the same time. A “must have” on your next convention! Our new talent – Iwona Nowak-Lakoma is moving strong with a fast rising profile in a fitness industry and who’s Step happened to be a one of a kind. Want a real challenge, take a class with her!
