Elaine's City: Adelaide, South Australia
A Quick Fun Unique Fact About Elaine:
I love the snow! Lived in Alaska for 11 years and learnt to snowboard when I was 39 :)
Why Elaine LOVES to GROOVE/Why she loves The GROOVE Method:
I learnt to groove 6 weeks ago and was instantly hooked! I love to exercise AND dance so groovin' gives me the chance to do both. It's such a wonderful feeling to connect to music and have the freedom to move, shake and wiggle your body however you want without feeling silly. And after an hour of groovin' you feel so good physically and mentally you can't wait til the next session.
Why Elaine LOVES her local community:
I have lived in Adelaide for 8 years and although it was a pretty tough adjustment in the first 2-3 years (there's no snow here!), I have come to appreciate the many benefits of living in a small city. We have wonderful beaches within 20 minutes, several wine districts and FANTASTIC restaurants. Adelaide doesn't embrace change easily so it will be a challenge to introduce a new way of exercising - but I'm looking forward to it!
Elaine's vision for where she'd like to take the GROOVE in her local community:
Because it doesn't matter what age you are to groove I want to make it open to EVERYONE in the community. Eventually I can see myself taking the groove into schools, retirement communities and with specialised populations. Everyone deserves the opportunity to feel good and experience a ridiculously fun life!
Why Elaine wants to be a GROOVE Ambassador :
As a Groove Ambassador I can make a positive change in peoples' lives - helping someone experience more fun, better health and overall wellbeing in their lives is extremely rewarding. I would like to organise a community event, affiliate myself with a health organisation and together we can promote the benefits of regular and fun exercise. The more people we can get groovin' the better the world will be!!
