200/700 - Potential/Possiblities

Hello dancing friends!

This week I am dedicating my classes and dance to my nephew, Conrad, who turns 12 this Thursday.  Many of you have danced with him over the years, and have witnessed his growth and progress.  He makes my heart sing, and reminds me to live in the moment, and to be open to possibilities and potential.  This is the path of the Sacred Athlete!  In honor of Conrad, we will focus on a concept in principle number 10 of the Nia white belt, called "200/700".  “200/700” refers to the 200+bones and 700+ muscles in our body, and the potential our body has to move in an endless world of movement possibilities.  When I get out of my head and into my body, my body guides me to move in new and exciting ways to condition and heal...more ways than my mind could ever create!!! 

So let's open up to all the possibilities our body and our life have for us as we dance this week...it is ENDLESS; let's open to our potential...it is LIMITLESS!!!   If you have not met Conrad, I invite you to read his story at http://www.conradsmiles.com/.  Also, on Thursday you can dance with him at 5:30 pm, as we celebrate his actual birthday!  It has become an annual event (I'm thinking this is about the 5th!), and his Nia teacher friends will also be teaching with me.  We have a wonderful playlist!!!  See you on the dance floor.  

My classes this week:

Monday and Thursday at 5:30 pm

Saturday at 9:30 pm

and Sunday at 4:00 pm

at The Synergy Studio
