Zumba® is the genre of fitness that sparked Kelly’s journey into the fitness world.

We Move owner, Kelly Duncalfe-Baker, used to work on Royal Caribbean cruise lines as a dancer and dance captain, which means she was in charge of the other dancers, the shows, parades, and so much more.

On one of her contracts, she had several dancers who struggled with weight fluctuation, but hated going to the gym. Kelly also became very bored going to the gym, so she wondered if she could find a fitness system that could help both her and her dancers.

That contract ended, and Kelly had three months of vacation before her next job. She stepped off the cruise ship in Rome and – having never taken a class – took a Zumba® instructor training course! Kelly never went back to cruise ships, and her career as a fitness instructor began.

Fun fact:Kelly’s first time teaching Zumba® was September 26th, 2009!

What is Zumba®?It is a high-energy cardio class set to Latin and International music. No dance experience is required – all you have to do is follow the instructor’s lead.

At We Move, we offer several types of Zumba® classes:

Zumba®: A fusion of Latin and International music and dance themes creating a dynamic, exciting, effective fitness system! Tuesday’s at 7:15pm

Zumba® Gold:Great for beginners of any age and active older adults. Uses the same rhythms and techniques as Zumba®.  Wednesday’s at 1:00pm & 6:00pm

Zumba® Toning:Takes the basic Zumba® dance-fitness party and adds in lightweight Zumba® Toning sticks to enhance muscle strength, tone, and endurance.  Monday’s at 7:00pm

These aren’t your average Zumba® classes.  All of our Zumba® instructors were dancers at either a pre-professional or professional level, which means you can count on quality movement and rhythm in your class. Each instructor provides their own choreography and takes song requests session by session. You’ll have a unique Zumba® experience at We Move.

Now that our spring session is complete, it’s time to transform the studio into a truly We Move space.

Our first step was painting the bulkheads outside the studio and repair some walls inside of the studio.

We are so fortunate here at We Move that several members of our community stepped in to help, including staff, friends, and long-time customers.

We are so excited for you to join us on our journey as we transform the studio into our We Move home.

Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and here on the blog to keep up with the twists and turns, laughter, and fun!

We explored so many possible names for our studio – names to do with fitness, community, atmosphere of our space – but nothing seemed to fit.

We kept coming back to our mission, which is to be inclusive of all ages and ability levels. Everyone has a place in our studio, and we needed our name to convey that.

We also needed our name to acknowledge that we are not just a fitness studio. We are a place to learn music, to try dance, to make friends, to learn about our bodies and our health, and most important to be part of our community.

 

is a simple name, but it covers the complexity of what our studio believes in. Inclusion, growth and community!

There is something for everybody here.

Babies! Toddlers! Children! We have Music Together, ballet/jazz, hip hop, and acro classes for all of these age groups.

Pre-natal moms! Check out our Pre-Natal Work Out with Me, Prenatal Stretch and Pre-Natal Yoga classes.

Post-Natal Families! Bring baby with you (and big brother or sister if you need to) for our Move with Me, Stretch with Me, Work Out with Me, and Yoga 4 Mom and Child classes.

Adults looking for a variety of work out classes: we have conditioning, TRX, kettle bell, acro, acro yoga, dance, Piyo®, Pound, Zumba® Toning and Zumba®.

Older adults! If you’re looking for a gentler workout, we have older adult dance fitness and stretch classes.

Feeling stressed? Need something mellow? We have stretch, all levels yoga, meditation and restorative yoga classes.

EVERYONE has a space to grow and learn here.

Big changes are happening! Move N Soar – Saskatoon’s premier family fitness studio – needs room to expand. What started out as a small local business has steadily grown.

Because of the amazing success at Move N Soar, our home has been feeling a bit small, leaving little room for further growth. In order to make room for each other, the family and aerial fitness studios are departing on their own separate journeys! This means a new name for our family, music, pre/post-natal and fitness classes – We Move!

We Move will now have two studios, which means room for further expansion, more client resources, and more potential for what’s yet to be imagined.  We Move will continue to stand for family, fitness, and fun, and offer all of the same classes the family studio did previously – adult fitness, pre/post-natal fitness, dance, and Music Together®.

In the meantime, keep checking in here on the blog, our new Facebook page, and our Instagram account to join us on our journey. We’re still the same people and classes you know and love, but we have some additions coming that you won’t want to miss!

We play, we learn, we grow, We Move!
