Setting the \u2018barre\u2019 for fitness and fundraising<\/strong><\/p>\n

Por Luc\u00eda Viti<\/p>\n

An inaugural, jam-packed, high-octane wellness day to celebrate health and well-being will take place on Sunday, Sept. 13, at the Embarcadero Marina Park.<\/p>\n

Called \u201cDaileyfest\u201d \u2014 after The Dailey Method, a family-oriented dance barre fitness studio franchise on the West Coast cofounded by Jill Dailey \u2014 the event is being driven by The Dailey Method San Diego, located at 1230 Columbia St., in Little Italy. Organizers are inviting San Diego\u2019s fitness families to come celebrate wellness and help fundraise for a great cause.<\/p>\n

Uniting with its Rancho Bernardo, Poway and Carlsbad counterparts to produce Daileyfest, The Daily Method San Diego will co-host outdoor all-level barre lessons including its Dailey Interval, Dailey Express and Dailey Baby (mommy, daddy and baby) classes, along with a meditation session. Families will also enjoy aerial yoga performances, an obstacle course, a laser maze, a braid bar, plus a live DJ.<\/p>\n

Teeki, Beyond Yoga, OH! Juice and Nuts for Paleo will be among many of the local businesses showcasing their healthy wares.<\/p>\n

Barre \u2014 which stands for ballet \u2014 are workouts that make use of a stationary handrail for various warm ups, exercises and training sessions.<\/p>\n

In addition to promoting outdoor fitness, Daileyfest will also act as a fundraiser for Heartlight San Diego, a nonprofit organization that provides after-school youth, noncompetitive dance and fitness programming, with net proceeds subsidizing scholarships for students from more than 100 elementary schools throughout San Diego.<\/p>\n

Spearheaded by Ashley Allison Adam, The Dailey Method San Diego\u2019s owner and master instructor, Daileyfest is one of the many ways the Little Italy-based business supports its community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe partnered with Heartlight San Diego to spread the importance of health and fitness to families everywhere,\u201d Adam said. \u201cHeartlight fits perfectly with The Dailey Method\u2019s core values. It\u2019s critical to put fun into working out while building healthy habits that will last these kids a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Placing an emphasis on movement and individual achievement, Heartlight \u2014 a branch of California Fitness Fun \u2014 also teaches aerobic dance, jazz, hip-hop and turbo-kick boxing classes.<\/p>\n

\u201cSan Diego\u2019s Embarcadero is a beautiful setting for what promises to be a great outdoor community event,\u201d said Kathy Uchimura, Heartlight\u2019s owner and president. \u201cWe believe in families staying healthy together [and we are] even hosting a module dance program that will enable the adults to participate in The Dailey Method classes while we teach the kids a series of dance routines that they will later perform for their parents. And kids love nothing more than performing for their parents!\u201d<\/p>\n

Uchimura stressed the importance of fitness programming for kids who haven\u2019t joined a sports or dance team by the time they\u2019ve reached the fifth grade.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwenty percent of kids 11-years and older who have not yet participated in organized athletics are likely to never become involved in any athletic activity,\u201d she said. \u201cHeartlight provides opportunities for kids to attend movement classes at their school. Pick-ups and drop-offs at a second location are non-existent. We attend to every kid \u2014 no matter what their athletic ability may be \u2014 willing to dance, right on the spot.\u201d<\/p>\n

The all-green event \u2013 right down to the solar-powered stage and sound equipment \u2014 will also feature keynote speakers, including Councilmember Mark Kersey, San Diego\u2019s District 5 representative and Heather Hemmer, creator of \u201cThe 30 Clean\u201d nutritional program.<\/p>\n

Kersey will publicly designate Sept. 13 as \u201cThe Dailey Method Day\u201d in recognition of their overwhelming efforts to give back to their community.<\/p>\n

\u201cSmall businesses like The Dailey Method play an important role in our community,\u201d Kersey noted. \u201cI am pleased to honor The Dailey Method for its commitment to being a community-focused business while improving the fitness and well-being of San Diegans.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re honored to have Councilmember Mark Kersey recognize The Dailey Method,\u201d Adam said. \u201c[He] appreciates San Diego\u2019s small businesses who work diligently to make a difference in their community. The Dailey Method Day will spread the love of its program as we continue to give back to our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Little Italy entrepreneur described Daileyfest as something the whole family would enjoy.<\/p>\n

\u201cFestivals happen but they\u2019re not always family friendly,\u201d Adam said. \u201cThe Dailey Method is a family-friendly business, running a family-friendly festival, showing the love of gathering family in the name of fun, health and wellness.\u201d<\/p>\n
