Month: June 2016

Nia Friends,

This last weekend was magical, as 15 people from San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Pennsylvania, and Canada shared the Nia FreeDance Training experience with Joanie and me. It was an amazing and very fun two days.  Every training and class I teach fills me with new knowledge, awareness and gratitude for this transformational practice.

We use Form in Nia as a foundation for Freedom and we use Freedom as a container for Form.  Form guides us into spaces of Freedom and Freedom guides us into new spaces of Form.  Opposing dynamics bring thousands of possibilities from a creative point of view.

Form:  52 Moves, 13 Principles, 7 Cycles, 5 Sensations… etc
Freedom: FreeDance, Natural Time, 13 Joint Warm-up, Movement variety… etc.

Nia provides us with many metaphors that can help us reflect and grow in our lives!  I look forward to dancing with you this week!
With love of movement,
Adelle

Dear Friends,

I’m PULSEing love your way today!  This past weekend we had a wonderful experience with Nia teachers and students dancing and learning the new Nia routine called PULSE.  It is a very fun routine that focuses on the energy sensations of the 9 movement forms of Nia.

Martial Arts:

• Tai Chi…Slow dance

• Tae Kwo…Dance of precision

• Aikido…Dance of harmonious, spherical motion

Dance Arts:

• Jazz…Dance of fun, showmanship and expression

• Modern Dance…Dance of shapes in space

• Duncan Dance…Dance of free-spirited, honest movement

Healing Arts:

• Work of Moshe Feldenkrais… Dance of conscious awareness of sensation

• Alexander Technique…Dance of movement from the top

• Yoga…Dance of conscience alignment of bones and joints

Each art is a new sensation and a new way to heal.

Join me Tuesday 6:45 am, Wednesday 9:15 am, and Friday 5:30 pm at The Synergy Studio as we PULSE love and dance these unique personalities and sensations!

And join both Joanie and me Thursday 9:15 am for a special Nia FreeDance class, in anticipation of our Nia FreeDance training this coming weekend!

The weekend is open to everybody… those who are belts, as well as those curious to go deeper into a Nia weekend experience. Read more here!

If you choose to teach, Nia FreeDance training will provide you with the knowledge and skills to successfully engage dancers in a blend of structured and unstructured movement. Founded on the eight-stages of FreeDance, and on the synergistic combination of music, movement, and magic, you will learn how to craft and guide a Nia FreeDance class.
