Lovely movers…
Everyday is a great day to dance, and tomorrow I would love for you to join me in the morning, the afternoon and evening as we dance and celebrate!
I will teach a ‘Connection’ Journey Dance class at 10:00pm, and a ‘Dynamic Ease’ Nia class at 4:00pm. If you haven’t been with us in a Journey Dance class yet, I invite you to an amazing experience of dancing your spirit, your divine, your inner healer, led by the resonance and vibrations of great music and your body’s way. At 4:00, we will close out a great week of the new Nia routine Cadence, as we rock the house with smiles, laughter, balance, and ease.
AND THEN!….!!!!… at 6:30pm…
I hope you will join Joanie, Charlotte and me at La Fogata as we celebrate our journey of becoming Nia White Belts Trainers!
Your invitation is below. I would love to see your beautiful being!
With deep appreciation and gratitude for your support.
Abundant blessings, Adelle

Good Beautiful Morning Dancing Friends!
We had a fantastic weekend of dancing and introducing the new Nia routine Cadence. Yesterday started with a wonderful Journey Dance ‘manifestation’ at 10:00am, then a room full for the Cadance Playshop at 3:00 as we all learned the moves of the routine, and then a packed house where we Eased into a Dynamic 4:00 class! New faces and some dear friends came to the studio for the first time. A shout out to Richard and his daughter Allison, who have danced with me from the early days of Purely Physical, before it became Spectrum! A glorious sharing of dance and celebration. We are blessed.
Ease…the absence of all effort. Dynamic….the action of infusing what you do with energy. Our body thrives on Dynamic Ease…the ability to sense Power, Grace, Peace, and Joy in all of our movements… standing in a Closed Stance or executing a Front Kick. When our movements are infused with relaxation, our body organically becomes strong and flexible, energetically harmonious and balanced. By combining Dynamic actions with Ease, our hearts, lungs, nervous system, and breath become more efficient in natural and organic ways that increase the sustainability of fitness and well being.

Step into Dynamic Ease with me this week…in class and in life. We will creatively play with the dynamics of the routine…Mobility/Agility, Circular/Linear, Fluid/Percussive, Form/Freedom, Fast/Slow, Small/Big, Grounded/Off-Balance, Heavy/Light. Sense how these dynamic energies feel in your body AND at the same time, be aware of the Ease that is present. Our body, mind and spirit thrives on this!

A CELEBRATION coming Sunday!
Join Joanie, Charlotte and me on Sunday, Oct. 9th, as we celebrate becoming Nia White Belt Trainers!

And speaking of the White Belt……..considering the Nia White Belt intensive? You can sign up now for intensives that Joanie and I will be holding. Our first training will be a split weekend in December… perfect for busy people! Go to: http://nianow.com/adelle, and click on “My Trainings”

Dancing on, Adelle

Beautiful dancing friends,
Like the sun, our light is the energy that connects us to the movements of the universe and the cycles of life and is present at all times, whether we feel its glow or not. If darkness has fallen, we know that the sun is still shining at this very moment somewhere not too far away, and it’s only a matter of time before it will shine on us again.

Our bones hold this presence of light and dark in their very structure. They are both porous and dense. Just like feminine/masculine energy, right/left, in/out, low/high, intrinsic/extrinsic, yin/yang… our body is balanced in both weight and weightless, gravity and anti-gravity.
We will play in class this week and next with the many polarities in our body that keep us balanced.

Many traditions consider the light of the rising sun to be particularly divine in its origins; this is why so many people in the world face east when performing ritual. We too can cultivate that rising sun energy inside ourselves, carrying it with us to light our way through any time of day or night, drawing on its power to awaken and renew our spirits.
We all know someone we think of as vibrant. Vibrant literally means “vibrating very rapidly.” The people who strike us as vibrant are vibrating at a high frequency, and they can inspire us as we work to raise our vibration. Playing with both heavy/light, and other polarities, we can find a balance that keeps us vibrating at a high frequency.
Fun!

Special note: I am out of town this weekend and next, dancing with friends, growing our web of movers, and playing with my six children, so there will not be a Journey Dance class on Sunday at 10:00 for two weeks. (yes, my ‘kiddo’ count is going up by one! Cameron blesses me with Sarah as another daughter when they marry June 9th, 2012!)
Please join me for Journey Dance on Sunday October Oct 2 and 9 at 10:00am.
Note to my note: As I’ve shared with many of you, my travels and connection to other movers has helped broaden our healing community. The studio is mentioned several times in the new Conscious Dancer magazine and we welcomed the first ever ‘Ecstatic Dance’ experience to the studio last night from 7:00-9:00. 🙂 Look for other opportunities coming… 5Rhythms, Soul Motion, and my precious friend Toni Bergins, creator of Journey Dance in January. It is time to sign up to hold your spot to dance 5 days with her. Read more under ‘workshops’ on the schedule page, www.thesynergystudio.com, as well as reading here: What is Journey Dance?
Join me and let’s Dance Into the Light!
With deep love and appreciation for YOU… Adelle

My classes this week: Tuesday 6:45am, Wednesday 9:15am, Fun Friday with Joanie 5:30pm

Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years.
We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle
the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Sweet Friends,
A day of remembrance, gratitude, thanksgiving, grace, blessings and dance. Thank you to so many who shared your beautiful spirit with me both in and out of class today.
The day started with a 10:00am Journey Dance class (after coffee, of course!) and 14 bodies joined in a beautiful dance for peace. We connected to NYC through music as we danced some of the same songs that Toni and Jeanne were dancing in class there. It was awe-inspiring. John Smither from Houston joined us in his travels… a real treat!
After food and rest, 16 more gathered for ‘Sanctuary’ at the 4:00pm Nia class. A deep transformational routine that I haven’t taught in well over a year… thank you for helping me hold the space for so many emotions.
Its been weeks, months… full of emotion. Elation, excitement, betrayal, heartbreak, joy, pain, sorrow, contemplation, outpouring of love… so many emotions experienced that have strengthened my emotional body.
Over-whelming excitement appeared this week as Joanie and I received our official notice that we are Nia trainers, complete with ‘register now’ buttons online! This was followed by a surprise mention of the studio three times in the new Conscious Dancer magazine. Be sure to pick one up at the studio.
As I was writing an online reflection for a dear ‘old’ high school friend who died this week, I received an email from an incredible ‘new’ friend Andrew, with whom I shared the Black Belt in Portland two weeks ago. He was writing in a daze from a hospital bed, many days in recovery after being hit on his scooter. He wrote beautiful words of appreciation for living and the awareness that Nia has brought to his life. Within minutes, I watched well-wishes pour in from fellow Black Belts from all parts of the globe… Finland, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Canada, England, United States. I felt immeasurable blessings to be connected to so many all over the world. Connected through heart and soul, mind and spirit… body and emotions.
And that is our focus this week.
Just like our physical, mental and spirit bodies love to move, dance, and get stronger, our emotional body loves a great work-out.
Bring it on!

Deep love and metta for you, Adelle

You’re on candid camera!

Remember that great line? It still makes me smile…

Join me this week as we focus on the smile line in class. Our center of gravity, the hara, is located just below the belly button. That center creates a wonderful smile when we sink and rise moving through the 3 planes as we dance.

But guess what??? We also create smile lines in our heart, hands, head, hips, as we dance, and many times out pops a smile on our lips. 🙂

I just returned from a magical 10 days in Portland, Oregon at Nia Headquarters. The first 7 days were spent watching emerging Black Belts as they made new discoveries and opened doors to more learning, growth, and evolving. On the last three days, 13 of us did 7 routine video shoots, with rehearsals, and lots of sweat under the hot lights. I was surrounded for 10 days by smiles in abundance!

After 12 years of dancing Nia, I feel so blessed to have friends from all over the world… friends like you who bring a smile to my face. Nia is not just a movement practice… it is a lifestyle… and the positive effects on our body and health are immeasurable. I continue to be awed by the wisdom… the science, craft and art of the work. Nia has kept me young, healthy, and continues to challenge me… everyday I learn something new!

During the week, as we walked down the hall, strolled the streets of Portland, ate in restaurants… we were asked over and over, “What do you do? You are so happy and full of smiles.”

With big smiles, we gave them a card… “Nia.” The last three days were long, hot, and exhausting for the video filmings. One of the new participants thanked me for my smile that reminded them to relax and enJoy. Yes… Nia reminds us to smile with every cell!

I look forward to smiling with you in class!

Loving you, Adelle

My classes this week: Wednesday 9:15am, Friday 5:30pm, Sunday 10:00am Journey Dance, Sunday 4:00pm.

A beautiful Saturday evening to all my Nia friends!

I hope you will join me this week as we dance our connection… to ourselves, to others, to humanity. In belonging and feeling accepted, we can expose our vulnerability and heal… and dance gives us the space to make it happen!

Tomorrow morning at 10:00, we will dance a Journey Dance, as we send our precious Jan off to Ireland with positive thoughts, and prayers for a safe two week sojourn. At 4:00, we will dance our connection in a Nia class.

Yes, we are all connected… no matter where we travel… it is our survival.

When you have time, check out the wise words of Dr. Brene Brown… on connection, belonging and vulnerability.
