Instructor of the Month - Riverside



DÄNÄ OLAGUE

Who is in your family?
HUBBIE VINCE, DAUGHTER AUGUST ANN, & MYSELF, DÄNÄ

How long have you been an instructor?
SINCE MAY OF 2007

What did you do before teaching Stroller Strides/or before kids?
I TAUGHT PHYSICAL EDUCATION AT SOUTHRIDGE MIDDLE SCHOOL IN FONTANA FOR 8 YEARS.

What do you love about being a Stroller Strides instructor?
MY TOP 3: (1)THE GREAT WORKOUT IT PROVIDES, (2)BEING A ROLE MODEL FOR AUGIE WHILE SPENDING PRECIOUS TIME WITH HER, (3)MEETING SUCH AWESOME WOMEN THAT I RESPECT AND ADMIRE!

Where do you teach/how many days a week do you teach?
CASTLEVIEW PARK, 3 DAYS A WEEK, MWF

How has Stroller Strides impacted your life?
IT HAS BEEN A TRUE GIFT IN MY LIFE...MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY, AND SOCIALLY. BEFORE I STARTED SS, I FELT LIKE MY WORLD REVOLVED AROUND BREASTFEEDING AND WATCHING DAY-TIME TV. I WAS STARTING TO FEEL DEPRESSED AND FLABBY. STROLLER STRIDES CHANGED EVERYTHING FOR THE BETTER.

What are some of your favorite hobbies or activities?
BEFORE AUGIE CAME INTO OUR LIVES, VINCE & I TRAVELED A LOT. WE ALSO LOVED CAMPING, BACKPACKING, & ROCK CLIMBING (I EVEN USED TO TEACH OTHERS HOW TO CLIMB!). RIGHT NOW, WE MOSTLY HANG OUT WITH FRIENDS & FAMILY AND DO AS MUCH AS WE CAN OUTSIDE AND AROUND TOWN. WHEN AUGIE GETS A LITTLE OLDER, WE LOOK FORWARD TO SOME OF THE SAME ADVENTURES AS A FAMILY THAT WE USED TO DO AS A COUPLE.

What do you do to keep your classes fresh??
I LIKE TO TRY TO MIX UP OUR CLASS ROUTES NOW & THEN. IT'S ALSO FUN TO FIND NEW SONGS TO INTRODUCE TO THE MOMS & KIDS. WHENEVER POSSIBLE, IT ALSO FUN TO PUT A NEW TWIST ON SOME OF OUR MORE POPULAR EXERCISES, TOO!
