Larz, Lars, Freestyle Step Master, Nike Elite Trainer... Who is Larz?
Larz, Lars, Lars Schuijling, The Energy Maker, Freestyle Step Master, Nike Elite trainer, dancer, choreographer… whatever you want to call him… the question remains, who is this multifaceted, multi-talented character?
Larz is an international NIKE Elite trainer, dancer and choreographer with more than 20 years of experience teaching under his belt, dancing and choreographing internationally, as well as presenting at large-scale conventions both in his home country, The Netherlands, and in several other countries.
Larz won 'Best Presenter' of the Netherlands more than once, and his moves were seen in Dutch TV programmes such as 'Idols', 'Holland's Next Top Model', as well as the Dutch version of 'So You Think You Can Dance' (SYTYCD). He taught at Lucia Marthas' Institute of the Performing Arts and developed curricula for Teacher Trainers. What really is noticeable above all is that his classes are full of fun and energy. An awesome combination.
There is no one that I can think of here in Australia, and very few internationally, that matches the variety of disciplines that Larz seems to excel in. He is known, not simply as Larz, but also as Lars, The Energy Maker, Step Master, to just mention a few. Internationally known as an all-rounder fitness presenter, Music DJ, Nike Elite Trainer and “So You Think You Can Dance” Choreographer. If you have attended his workout sessions, you know will then know his killer workouts in the Nike Training Club (NTC) as a Nike Elite trainer.
When Larz presents a session, the attending members have a great time moving and grooving. Larz shows powerful upbeat and energetic street dance routines in is dance sessions, tuning into the right alignment and rhythm/groove that comes with it. While in his Freestyle Step sessions variety in movement, and synchronisation in rhythm, music and moves is the centre of attention.
Master step and dance sessions usually end with a final performance in which both Larz and members gives all they have. Larz is also known for giving professional feedback after such sessions to help those that seek constructive criticism by someone of his calibre.
Lars humble beginnings started when he was 15. At that tender age, he started giving classes in fitness clubs, dance schools etc. until he reached the presenter category and traveling to events around the world for major conventions and events around the world for groups of 50 and… up to 1000!!!
Who is “Larz the International Presenter”:
Larz “the International presenter” is one of the most prominent teachers in the group fitness industry creating amazing routines and new moves. Larz undoubtedly inspires people to do more, to do it harder, to just get up and shake it. His inspiration has reached thousands of people around the globe, not just in his home country of the Netherlands.
Larz motivation to new moves, to new routines, new music, comes from his heart. He has a very strong love for music, thus spends quite a bit of time creating new mixes and sounds.
Larz music creations are not just used in his dance sessions, Freestyle Step sessions, or any other session he might be instructing, they have found their way into the clubs, festivals and parties where he works sometimes as DJ.
But sharing his music in this way is not just enough to Larz. His music is now also shared in the music share platform knowna s SoundCloud. Have you searched him? https://soundcloud.com/larz-nl give it a listen. His music is made of phat soundz and full of energy!
