Paige Currie is one of our instructors here at We Move. You can find her teaching PiYo®, Pound®, Kettlebell, Conditioning, Music Together®, and Ballet/Jazz.

How long have you been teaching? Over 3 years. I was around when we were running classes across the hall before our current studio space was ready.

What do you like about teaching? I like to see people improving every week. You can definitely tell when it’s happening. Like when I see an adult move from a push-up on their knees to one on their feet, or see a kid realize that they can rise on straight legs instead of bent knees. It’s fun to watch that progress and be a part of it.

What was the first class you taught? 5:45 am PiYo®, Friday morning.

What do you do outside of We Move? I’m close to finishing up my Certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language.

Favourite class to teach: PiYo®

Favourite class to take: Conditioning

Class you want to try: Adult Dance

Leggings or shorts? Leggings, ‘cause you don’t have to shave.

Do you have any pets? No, but I hang out with other people’s pets whenever I can.

Coffee or tea? Tea in the morning, coffee in the afternoon, and then tea later in the afternoon if I have a lot to do.

Favourite non-fitness related activity: Video games

Dream travel destination: Japan

Guilty pleasure: xoxo, Gossip Girl

Funniest teaching story or favourite memory: Conditioning class at the Coachman *wink*

So you woke up sick one day and had to miss your class at We Move.

Now what?

Make up your missed class at another time!

Here at We Move SK, we know that life happens, whether it’s illness, a fussy baby, or a holiday. We offer students who have enrolled in our sessions the ability and flexibility to make up their missed classes so they can truly get their money’s worth.

Here’s how to make up a missed class:

Step 1: If you know ahead of time that you’re going to be away, cancel your reservation for that day through your We Move account. (https://wemovesk.com/existing-clients/). If you’re having trouble accessing your account, let us know!

Step 2: Refer to your email: Make up classes for times you can attend.  Alternatively, check out our drop-in schedule to find a class similar to yours to drop in to. If you’re unable to make those times, try out another class instead!

That’s it!

If you’re making up classes, you might end up coming twice or three times in one week, and that’s okay!

Watch out! All make-up classes need to happen before the end of term. New term = new attendance, so don’t miss out!

Music, dance, play, learning, family bonding, fun – these are just some of the things you’ll experience in a Music Together® class at We Move.

Music Together® is a parented 45 minute class for children ages 0-7. For the duration of the class, a Music Together® certified instructor will lead the group through music and movement activities. The songs come from a set collection that changes each term. This fall, we’ll be singing from the Fiddle Collection.

When you enrol in a Music Together® class, you receive that term’s songbook, music APP and CD, so you can listen and sing to the songs at home.

Why mixed age? Having children of different ages mean they can all learn from and help each other. There is also no stress over ‘keeping up’ with peers, and children are able to grow at their own pace.

Why parented? The mission of Music Together® is to bring music into our everyday lives. If our parents are comfortable singing, so will their children be. It’s also a great time to bond with your child! Both caregivers can come. Grandparents are welcome, too!

What songs do we sing? Some of the songs are old favourites (My Bonnie, Skip to My Lou), some are traditional songs from other countries and cultures, and some are written by the team at Music Together® for the sole purpose of building the Music Together® curriculum.

Why Music Together®? It’s a great way to introduce your child to music without formal lessons. Adults as well as children will gain confidence in their music ability and hone their music skills. Families will bond, and you’ll make new friends!

We have a special offer if you sign up for a Music Together class this fall with in the next 48 hours…

Find a BRAND NEW Music Together student and you both save $50.00 off of your enrolment.  (email to claim)

 

Do not have a friend to join you…join before August 10th and receive a FREE Music Together Lullaby CD as well.

The winners are…..

Does your child like to dance? Do you want to try a low-maintence dance studio? Not interested in purchasing costumes, tights or leotards? Try out our ballet/jazz combination, Hip Hop or AcroDance dance classes for kids.

In our ballet/jazz dance classes, children will get the chance to learn the basic techniques of both ballet and jazz dance styles. We offer four levels of this class, allowing your child to explore new skills as they master old ones. Classes are offered beginning at age 3 and up to age 10.

This isn’t a typical studio-style dance class. We run four different sessions a year so dancers don’t have to wait until September to join. There are no uniforms, costumes, competitions or recital fees, but don’t worry, we do have a quick show-and-share at the end of the term for family members!

Dance classes include not only dance technique, but also movement, rhythm, and listening activities. While we don’t do plié at the barre like a “dance” studio class, we do them in our ‘hula-hoop houses’.  Our classes are meant to be fun, while also teaching the students musicality, listening and social skills, and dance!

All of our instructors have danced at a pre-professional or professional level and are extremely knowledgeable in all dance techniques and genres.

For the next ­­­­­­­­­­­­­48 hours we have a special promotion for you regarding our  dance classes!

Join any Ballet/Jazz Combo fall enrolment and receive 25% off of your second dance enrolment (includes all Kinder AcroDance, AcroDance and Hip Hop dance classes offered by We Move)!

Cannot be combined with other incentive codes. Full payment minus 25% off must be completed at time of purchase.

This offer only lasts for 48 hours so don’t wait (July 26th at 6:00pm the promotion will expire)! Check out the Fall Dance Schedule,  send We Move your desired class day/times and have us manually apply the discount. Do not want to email?  Come register at our studios in Market Mall (Tuesday from 10:30am-6:30pm or Wednesday 9:30-8:00pm).

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.

For the next 48 hours we have a special deal for ALL of our FALL Zumba® classes.

$48.00 off for 48 hours! (expires July 12, 2018 at 6:00pm)

PROMO CODE: 48OFFZUMBA

If you register for any Zumba® class in our 15-week fall session, you will receive $48.00 off your purchase! With our Zumba® classes normally costing $150 for a 15 week enrolment, this is a deal you will not want to miss! (Cannot be combined with any other incentive codes and must complete the full payment minus the $48.00 discount at the time of purchase.)

If you like moving, fun music, or making connections, Zumba® is the class for you! Registration for our 15-week fall session is open and this deal lasts only for the next 48 hours. Don’t miss out! You can register by stopping by the studio at Market Mall, or online at www.wemovesk.com.

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!
