Class Description: Nia makes you feel like a dancer! It is an embodied dance technique that puts you in the flow of movement. It combines easy to follow choreography and free dance. We dance from the inside out and pay attention to our sensations as we move. The class includes a variety of movements from dance arts, martial arts, and healing arts and is energizing, calming, joyful, pleasurable, and healing. It helps build stamina and increase range of motion. We dance barefoot to world music. No previous dance experience is necessary.
