In the June "Zdrowie i Uroda" supplement of Prestiż Szczecin magazine, Aneta Dolega talks to Olga Kuźmina-Pietkiewicz about the classes for pregnant women that our school launched in summer 2023. Olga explains where the idea came from - her own pregnancy, the need to stay in shape without doing herself harm, and the certified fitness course she completed to do it responsibly.
The interview describes what the classes look like: work with balls, bands and light weights in small groups, exercises that strengthen the parts of the body that suffer most in pregnancy, and the rule that intense, dynamic movement stays outside the door. Olga also says from which week of pregnancy it is worth starting, and why the first trimester is not the time for new training.
The second half is the story of her return to the stage after her daughter was born - straight back onto pointe, with boogie-woogie competitions with her husband between performances, a "dance emergency service" for wedding couples, and work as a choreographer on musicals. Dance, she says, never left her.
