What Makes Nia Dance Different?

Nia is a holistic movement practice that feels like "a fusion of movement, like a wave on the water." Unlike traditional fitness classes, Nia focuses on sensation and self-expression, making it both a physical workout and a mindful practice.

The practice draws from:

• Dance arts - for creative expression and joy
• Martial arts - for power and precision
• Healing arts - for mindfulness and body awareness

Described as "a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get," each Nia class offers a unique experience that engages the mind, body, and spirit. The technique focuses on sensation rather than appearance, helping participants feel alive and renewed with every movement.

While Nia welcomes all bodies, this specific class (Level 2-3) is best suited for those with reasonable to good mobility who feel comfortable engaging in physical activities. The practice can accommodate those with past or present injuries within these mobility levels.

Come along and discover why Nia enthusiasts say this practice makes "your body feel young and makes you feel whole." Your mind, body, and soul will thank you! 🌟
