Mackay Hospital Foundation’s Dancing With Heart

Featuring Solveig Lobo

Solveig Lobo is a familiar face in the Mackay community, known for her role as an Account Executive at Bishopp, specialising in billboard and airport advertising.

Born and raised in Mackay, Solveig has a deep-rooted passion for her hometown and is actively involved in various community events and initiatives. She sees herself not just as a business professional but as a proud member of the community, always eager to contribute to its growth and vibrancy.

“I am very passionate about the community, and I get involved in every event that I can make.

“This community is my home, and I’ve loved watching the growth,” Solveig said.

When it comes to dancing, Solveig's favourite moves involve grooving to the beat and moving her hips with style. Under the guidance of Dolly at Mackay Fame Talent School, she's been mastering her dance skills, finding the perfect outfits at Dancewear Mackay to complement her moves.

Despite the fast tempo being a slight challenge on the dance floor, Solveig's love for her community extends beyond her professional and dancing endeavours. She admires the work of the Mackay Hospital Foundation, particularly their commitment to giving back to the local community by providing essential healthcare services when needed most.

“I love what they do for our community, and I want to be a bigger part of that. My nerves have turned to excitement, and I can’t wait to learn my dance and get behind this great cause.”

Featuring Brooke Hargrave

Proud owner of Mackay’s well known modelling agency, Brooke Lee Modelling, Brooke Hargrave is the visionary behind the modelling and deportment school. She is also training as a contestant for Mackay Hospital Foundation’s Dancing WIth Heart.

Her business endeavours began in May 2011, paying close attention to nurturing confidence while teaching her clients essential skills in training, posture, deportment, and presentation. She aims to extend beyond modelling, catering to juniors, teens, and seniors in Mackay and surrounding areas, growing well-mannered individuals poised for success in any area they set out to achieve.

 

Brooke is thrilled to collaborate with the senior dancers from Fame Talent School for Dancing With Heart.

“I don't have much background in dancing, but I'm really enjoying myself,” she said.

“However, after rehearsals, I find myself exhausted, with muscles aching for a couple of days afterward – muscles I never even knew I had!

“In a positive light, it’s a great fitness adventure,” she adds.

 

Brooke’s commitment to community welfare extends far beyond her business pursuits. She deeply values the support offered by organisations like the Mackay Hospital Foundation, acknowledging their tireless efforts in aiding public hospitals and regional communities.

“I love the assistance they offer to our public hospitals and regional communities, as well as our very own local charity making a positive impact on our community.”
