Dancing Friends, 

I am thrilled to be able to announce that I am choreographing one of the four Nia routines for 2013-14… and I’m excited to share it with you and get your valuable feedback!
As many of you know, I have spent years traveling up to Nia HQ in Portland, to be a principle dancer and support my fellow trainers in the filming of the four new routines that HQ releases every year. Last year, Debbie asked me if I would be a principle choreographer for this year, and I gratefully accepted. I’ve spent many many hours picking music, creating the 8BC system document for teachers, and freedancing until the ‘clicks’ began to happen… choreography was born!
We will be filming my new routine “Bailando” in September, for release later this year. I would love to share it with you, my friends and fellow dancers of life. With Latin-based tunes, and lots of fun latin-inspired moves, it is a work in progress. 🙂
Please join me Tuesday at 6:45am and Wednesday at 9:15am, as I preview “Bailando”.
After all… Bailando is ‘dance’ in Spanish… and what do we LOVE to do?!!!!
The focus of my routine is Systemic, Full-Body Movement through opening the five pathways… Heels, Hara, Heart, Hands, Head.

Then get ready for a weekend full of newness as we introduce a new Nia routine called Awake. Filmed back in September 2012, Awake has beautiful music from the town of Auroville, India. Fellow trainers who reside there were the choreographer’s, and Awake’s focus is Spine, Spiral and Space.  This is a yummy routine and you can dance with us all weekend, and take an Awake Playshop on Sunday at 2:30 where you learn the katas of the routine.  The Playshop includes the music and the 4:00 class!  Sign up here! 

If you are a Nia teacher, there is still space to learn the routine with other Nia teachers on Saturday.  Email me for more information.

Awake Immersion Classes…Team teaching with Joanie!
