It’s 6 PM and I’m still on a high from @ambersusa.allofme ‘s 9:30am Cardio dance class followed by @azmanawi ‘s @groov3dance class at 10:30am @bayclubs El Segundo.There’s nothing better than dancing with your friends on a Sunday morning 🪩💫#hiphopdance #groov3 #southbaypersonaltrainer

It’s been two years since I started taking dance c

It’s been two years since I started taking dance classes where you learn choreography.It can be easy to feel like we’re not making progress because progress happens in small increments over long periods of time.Taking a video of yourself dancing especially when you first start out can feel scary and intimidating.But it’s such an important part of the process. I have no desire to teach dance or be a professional dancer, but I do love the feeling of being in a flow state.When I first started taking classes 2 years ago, I was definitely NOT in a flow state lol!I was frustrated and was there simply to enjoy the music, the experience of being in a room filled with other people who were dancing and the freshness of learning something new.I’ve never had good fast twitch muscles.Even when I did gymnastics, I struggled with power/explosivity (which is so important in dance) because of my hypermobility.But there’s always been this call in my soul to be a dancer.Fun fact…when I was 23 years old and I left my financial analyst job on Wall Street in New York City I told them that I wanted to be a dancer 😂.Truth be told, I had no idea what I wanted to do next but that’s a story for another day.Back then, I knew the dancer thing was not going to happen but I had taken a few classes at the @bdcnyc , and it sparked something inside of me.So while I knew that I was unable to pursue that dream at age 23 because I had no time or money for dance classes, the desire still lived inside of me.I’m grateful that I finally have the time and money to take dance classes at age 53. I started when I was 51.This is your Sunday afternoon reminder that it’s never too late to go back in time and revisit some of your unfulfilled dreams.Today I feel like a dancer because I get to go to dance class between 2 to 4 times per week.The definition of “being a dancer” can simply mean that you dance regularly.I’d love to know if there’s something you wanted to do when you were younger, but had to wait to finally pursue it.It’s never too late to learn something new!#southbaypersonaltrainer #GROOV3 #neverstoplearning

For those of you who follow my stories, you’ve see

For those of you who follow my stories, you’ve seen the fashion related content I’ve been sharing for the last couple of years, but I realized it’s time to share on my main feed.I’ve been feeling an emotional pull back to the 90s when I lived in NYC and worked in fashion, jewelry and textile design. Anyone else watching the show Love Story?About 20 years ago (I’m 53 now), I left that world behind to become a movement educator and with that came a wardrobe that was much more comfortable.But about two years ago, I realized it was time to find some regular “non-workout” clothes because I didn’t have any for the most part.🤷‍♀️.
Turns out that it’s much harder to shop for clothes when you aren’t working in fashion and around them all the time!Plus, shopping online is so different from shopping in stores so I knew I needed some help.
I feel very fortunate that a client of mine introduced me to @taraaquilinastyle because along with feeling very out of practice in the shopping arena, I was also going through the perimenopause/ menopause transition which meant I had a different body type than in my 20’s and made finding new clothes overwhelming.Tara and I worked to build a wardrobe for me one category at a time.We even tackled the really hard stuff like jeans, dresses and shoes and I’ve learned so much from the whole process.
There’s truly nothing better than knowing when you have to go somewhere that you already have things to wear that you love!
Most of you all know how much I love learning and that I learn best one on one.
I’ve always been a process oriented person because for me it’s all the little steps along the way that make the completion of a project worthwhile.
So here’s some outfits that I am so proud of and love wearing. It isn’t easy to find things that fit your body, your budget, AND that you love wearing.
If you’ve been struggling with any of these same issues, I highly recommend getting some help! It makes all the difference.
Thank you Tara!!! You are the best and I’m so grateful for you. 🙏🏼🥰🤗

Thank you @reggiohallie for always bringing your special sauce to class every week at @bayclubs!P.S. The reason why at 53 years young I can do high impact/explosive movements in dance class is because I strength train with progressive overload and train plyometrics each week in my program.You are never too old to jump as long as you train for it!#lakergirl #blondie #cardiodance #plyometricstraining #progressiveoverload

It’s been two years since I started taking dance c

It’s been two years since I started taking dance classes regularly.One of the hardest things about learning to dance has been learning how to move QUICKLY.Another big challenge has been getting my left leg/foot to respond to my brain 🧠 as quickly as the right side does.And the third biggest challenge has been learning a new movement vocabulary of dance moves.There’s something so gratifying about being a beginner.Each tiny achievement feels so satisfying, especially when you’re surrounded by other people in the class who are having fun while facing similar challenges.I’m lucky to have such great teachers over the past couple of years at the @bayclubs El Segundo and at @theplaygroundla in West Hollywood.Finally being able to get my left leg to do the footwork as fast as the right leg 🦵 in this clip felt like an “IG reel worthy share” so that I don’t forget it happened.And none of this dancing would be possible if it weren’t for all of the strength training I do each week.I feel very fortunate that I know how to program my strength training specifically for the dance moves that are most challenging for me.A huge thank you to those of you who have been cheering me on as I’ve posted dance videos over the last couple of years.🙏🏼I can feel the love! 🤗🥰Wishing you all a happy new year filled with joy, love, and lots of movement! 🥳💗#hiphopdance #GROOV3 #neverstoplearning #southbaypersonaltrainer

I’m trying to be better about sharing things from my stories on my grid. 2025 has been all about doing more fun things with friends and less work.Here’s some cherished memories from a night out in West Hollywood celebrating my friend @taraaquilinastyle ‘s birthday 🎉.I’ve lived in Los Angeles for 15 years but must admit I’ve been quite a workaholic until recently so this was my first time experiencing the nightlife in West Hollywood.It was so much fun!

Just me being happy that it’s 74 degrees outside in December and that I’m in my garage gym lifting weights 🏋️‍♀️ in between client sessions.Also, I’m trying not to wear black workout clothes so here’s today’s magenta and forest green ensemble with pigtails (instead of a ponytail) to make bench pressing possible.#southbaypersonaltrainer #lasunshine #benchpress #pigtails #yogastrong

On Monday night, I took a SUPER fun and challenging class with @smcjumps @jazzitupstudios3 in Torrance!It felt a bit like the high impact aerobics I loved in the 80s, but while wearing bouncy rollerblades. 🛼And while the boots allow you to bounce, each one weighs a little over 4 pounds so I was really glad that I include loaded foot/ankle training through full range of motion at the hip in my strength training program. 💪🏼Sarah Michelle is an incredibly gifted master trainer, and all of the students in the class were warm and friendly.And while I was the only new person in class, everyone welcomed to me into their bouncing squad with encouragement and open arms.I rented boots and @funfanadix was super helpful.He made sure that I had the right size boots with the proper amount of spring on the bottom.My heart rate was definitely on the high end for me because it’s a 60 minute class with lots of jumping.I currently take some cardio dance classes that also have quite a bit of jumping, but not as much as this class so it was a great challenge and I’m excited to come back and do it again!As you all know, I love being a beginner. Finding new movement modalities that I am not good at, but there’s potential to improve is one of my favorite things to do.If you’re in LA and want go to this class together, lmk 💃🏼.#kangoojumps #reboundboots #gloriagaynor #abba #iwillsurvive #torrance
