What is Nia?

Nia® is a mindful dance fitness practice that not only conditions  your body in remarkable ways, but also conditions your mind with the creative use of music and movement.  Nia is a movement art that will elevate your movement skill by increasing flexibility, mobility, agility, stability and strength.  Nia’s unique movement style is founded in 35 years of program development, focusing on aspects of martial arts, dance arts , and  healing arts.  Nia truly delivers a holistic experience that touches your body, mind and spirit.

A Nia class follows a seven cycle program, through setting the focus, stepping in, warming up, getting moving, cooling down, floorplay, and stepping out.  The technique is founded on 52 basic moves for the base, the core, and the upper extremities, that are used to create the body-friendly choreography of the class.  The nine movement forms, of Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, Jazz, Modern Dance, Duncan Dance, Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique and Yoga, inspire the class with soft and slow dynamics, as well as the powerful energy of Tae Kwon Do and the playfulness of Dance.  Nia choreography blends these dynamics to create a class that offers ample movement in a state of dynamic ease.  Everyone can do Nia; the movements are adaptable to varying skill and fitness levels.  Nia is generally done bare feet.   Shoes are also fine.

The first principle of the Nia Technique is the Joy of Movement.  We believe movement can be pleasurable to the body, and when we move towards pleasure we move towards healing.   There are lots of smiles and happy people in Nia classes.  Some even say Nia has changed their lives!
