“Nia remains an inspiration to me. There is so much to discover in body, mind, emotions, spirit, living in a human body! Nia’s consciously-crafted routines, blending form and freedom with 9 different movement forms, helps create magic with the music and community of dancers. A Joy-filled Nia class is life-enhancing”.
