"Dancers are the messengers of the gods." - Martha Graham
Good Morning Friends!
Yesterday after
class one of my students said to me Nia reminds her of a story she
received on a person asking a shaman (spiritual healer) for advice on
how to heal her spirit. The shaman's response was: when was the last
time your danced, when was the last time you sang and when was the last
time you told your story? Yes - this is Nia! Through our dance we
connect to our story and sing our unique song. We dance our soul, and
it is powerful and healing.
This week we will dance the Nia routine Soul. The music of this routine blends the percussive, live
instrumentation of Native American music with thick electronic beats,
awakening the primal dance within. When dancing, each move can be felt
like a natural hot spring that bubbles up your body, filling you with
the sensation of pure rejuvenation. And it does!! Click HERE
to listen to a sample of the music. The focus is on the 52 Moves of
Nia; however, our intent is create the space to expand the moves and
create our own moves by connecting to our body and being seduced by the
powerful music. You will be guided to share your soul dance, your story
and yes you can even sing!! See you on the dance floor!
My classes this week:
Monday (today!) and Thursday at 5:30 pmSaturday at 9:30 am
Sunday at 4:00 pm all at The Synergy Studio.
