Nia Dance: Introduction to the Nine Movement Energies


with Beth Giles | Class Series $120, Drop-In $15 | On Tuesdays starting July 26 - September 6

What is Nia? Come discover how great it feels to move your body in a Nia class. This 6 class series will explore the nine movement forms that make a Nia class so unique and pleasurable. The movement forms that we’ll play with are Tai chi, Taekwondo, Aikido, Jazz dance, Modern dance, Duncan dance, Yoga, Feldenkrais method and Alexander Technique. The combination of all these energetic forms provides a work-out and a “work-in.”  We dance in bare feet to soulful music using the 52 moves of Nia that engage the whole body and the mind, emotions and spirit. We dance Nia to build body awareness, strengthen and condition, express ourselves and have fun. No prior experience is necessary. For all levels of fitness.
