Dance Through Life… National Dance Week! Yipppeeee!

Its National Dance Week! Yippeee!
Some of my favorite things to do…  walk my puppies, work out at the gym, listen to music while I’m cleaning… and guess what? I’m always dancing! It makes life so enJOYable, fresh and exciting when every moment is an opportunity to dance.
In Nia White Belt Principle #5, we talk about the practice of “Dancing Through Life.” Everything we do can be a dance of life. Grocery shopping, doing laundry, waiting in traffic *walking the pups, working out, cleaning the house*  Our body is always in motion! Moving our limbs, reaching out/drawing in, breathing in/out, even sitting and when asleep, we are in motion. And guess what?… everything is truly a Dance of Life. 
We are alive!
A quick story… I was walking my pups a few days ago, listening to the wonderful song “Happy”, dancing to the rhythm and singing at the top of my lungs. There were two young men on my street moving new neighbors in. They stopped working, and joined into my dance and song! We all laughed and then carried on with our movement.
Let’s get the whole world dancing! You are a teacher to everyone you come in contact with, a Sacred Athlete of life, so start dancing and feel the ripple effect. 🙂
Join me this week as we Dance Through Life on the dance floor… but don’t stop there! Take every opportunity in every moment to make it a dance… and give gratitude to your body… to your life.
You are ALIVE!
Dancing with love for you, Adelle

Check out our fun video about the upcoming White Belt in June… and join us! 

Something wonderful is always on the verge of happening!


… truer words could not be spoken. 
Michael Beckwith sings these words in the new Nia routine U… “U U Uare the answer!… Something wonderful is always on the verge of happening!”

I hope you will join me this week, as we introduce the new routine U. Its fun, uplifting, and challenging in a wonderful way. The focus is ‘Base of the Body,’ and my base is feeling a little sore after our routine immersion all weekend!

Master Nia Trainer and my dear friend Ann Christiansen is the choreographer of U, and she has done a beautiful job of giving us new moves encased in simple katas. It is such a joy to present her work, after filming it in Portland. Once a year, I get to spend a few weeks with her when she is in the US teaching the Black Belt training, and it fills my heart to hear her voice and dance with her spirit every time I do this wonderful routine!

Our amazing Monthly Drum and Dance Circle is this Friday, after my class… an event not to be missed… and you don’t have to know how to drum! Join us!
AND… I have 2 places left for the Introduction to Transformational Breath® workshop this Saturday from 11:00-1:30. Sign up under workshops and events on the schedule page. It is amazing work!

See U on the dance floor.
Loving U U U!
