Show Notes - Strictly Dmitriy with Dmitriy Arsiriy Today my guest is Dmitriy Arsiriy. Dmitriy is a Professional Latin Dancer and Latin Dance Teacher. Born in Kyrgyzstan (One of the former Soviet Union Republics). He started to dance there at the early age of 6. Dmitry comes from a family of dancers.  His parents are dance instructors. Both of his brothers are dancers too. A veritable family of dancers. His family moved to Russia in 1989 and Dmitriy was training, joining dance competitions and teaching young dancers there from 1992 till 1999.  In November 1999 he came to HK and taught in HK from 2000-2002. Dmitriy returned  to Russia at the end of 2002 and continued to train couples for competitions in Russia until 2005.  In May 2005 came back to HK and has been teaching dancing in HK ever since. 3:58  My parents were a dance couple. They were one of the first pioneers in the Soviet Union. 4:35  I was six years old and I started to dance. Both of my brothers too. 7:05  Dancing was my hobby and it was my career as well. 9:38  I was like a Russian Coach very “Straight to the point”, a little rude. 10:00 I worked for a studio in Times Square and the experience was priceless. 10:36 I am teaching Latin American Dancing like “Strictly Dancing” and “Dancing with the Stars” in the US. Five Latin and Five Ballroom. I teach the Latin Dancing. 12:17 Very popular for a professional dancer to dance with a student – Pro Am. Professional, amateur couple. 13:40 Lots of Pro-Am couples in Hong Kong directed to Pro-Am shows. 16:55 You need a lot of patience. 18:45 I give them pressure but I try to do it in a nice way. 19:50 The process is pretty simple we have a few basic steps and moves we need to learn. 21:18 Any kind of movement is an exercise, like walking with the dog, like playing football with my son. Dancing is exercise with the miusic. 27:05 Working with the whole 360 degrees, 3D Action. 28:32 I was just blown away by the sheer number of couples and most of them are good. 31:20 I myself , pretty much perfectionist in terms of technique. 32:55 If you say Nureyev - he wasn’t a perfect dancer……… He had such a presence on the stage,……… this is the difficult part. 34:10 Allan Tornsberg a guy from Denmark he was very, very good at leading ladies,  superb at showing off the ladies………  the best example of the Latin dancer would be Gaynor Fairweather – so she was  fourteen times world champion and even today not many girls can dance like her…. 37:05 I have a pull-up bar at home any time I feel like it I just jump and do a few pull ups – very random. 38:20 My wife enrolled me for some yoga, like I go to the Iyengar Yoga Centre Sheung Wan once or twice a week. 40:20 Routine and consistency is very important. 41:35 At around three years ago I stopped eating meat……. 47:30 Sometimes coaches are trying to push students over the limits. Asking them to di again and again. 50:05 Billboard quote: “Dance like no one is Watching”Contact Dmitriy:WhatsApp: +85296388999Contact Vincent:Newsletter: https://vincent1cd.substack.comPodcast: https://overfortywellness.buzzsprout.comEmail: vincent.hiscox@outlook.comLinkedIn: Vincent HiscoxEpisode is LivePublished: Sep. 18, 2020 @ 9PM EditUnpublish

Title: From Addiction to Recovery - with Jenny Lam.  QUOTE: Min. 3:30 I was sexually abused when I was eight and from there onwards my life just became kind of worse and worse and it wasn’t something I knew at the time it was getting worse.  QUOTE: Min 7:45 The interesting part is going to a girl’s hostel in Hong Kong that was the place I learned to smoke marijuana. That is where I learned to discover ketamine, where I discovered ecstasy, where I discovered crystal meth actually. Crystal meth stayed with me for a whole year. QUOTE: Min 14:11 I fell in love when I was 17 somehow my first real boyfriend and we got married after 4 months. I had a child right after getting married. I was only 19 with my son and by that time when I had my son I never ever actually drank and that was the first time I started drinking. QUOTE: Min 16:28 I felt more and more suicidal again. I remember so well there was a moment that there’s something really wrong with me. Everything I’m doing is wrong. QUOTE: 38:42 This experience has cost me no money, no nothing and I am so tremendously grateful and I will always be grateful for that first person that told me about the “hole in the soul”, that second person who asked me was I safe, that third person that welcomed me, that other person who was holding my hand tightly when I was feeling crumbling. I am so grateful for these people and I wanna be there for other people and I have been there….  Jenny shares her roller coaster journey through life. A story about the downward spiral into addiction and the recovery aided by some special people. A story of how her unstable childhood and adolescence impacted her life and her relationships. A teenage mum, a failed marriage, the slippery slope that led her into becoming an alcoholic. It is a story about the impossible to possible. Jenny had a second chance in life and she seized the opportunity to turn everything around and to become the woman she is today. A successful, motivated, inspiring woman. Jenny has made it her mission to empower women. An abstract artist, Jenny expresses her feelings through her art. She is also a strong advocate of living a healthy life and continues to work in women’s wellness.  Jenny is looking to connect with woman’s charities to donate her artwork and wants to offer her services to organisations catering to women’s physical and mental health. Contact:  Jenny LamWebsite: www.jennylam.artemail: jenny@jennylam.art Contact : Vincent HiscoxNewsletter: https://vincent1cd.substack.comPodcast: https://overfortywellness.buzzsprout.comEmail: vincent.hiscox@outlook.comAlcoholics Anonymous: www.aa-hk.org
