(video, The Art of Nia created by Telus at one of Tina’s classes)
Nia incorporates whole body movement, dancing barefoot to unique, uplifting music. Nia is a brilliant blend of the energies of 3 dance arts, 3 martial arts and 3 healing arts, that connects mind, body and spirit. Based in the pleasure principle, Nia is all about experiencing the Joy of Movement.
While each Nia class is basically a one hour choreographed dance routine, there is plenty of room for improvisation and self-expression. No previous dance experience is necessary. Nia is about moving your body’s way, adjusting your movements to suit your body type, your fitness level and your age. There is no competition, no ‘keeping up’ with anyone else, no making sure you get the steps ‘right’. Your Nia experience is unique to you.
Tina has been teaching 3 to 7 Nia classes per week (with the exception of the summer months of July and August, which she usually spends camping instead of teaching!) since the fall of 2006. Her students have varied in age from 7 years old to 83 years young! Many of Tina’s students are very loyal to her, coming back session after session because they love her spiritual energy and the way she teaches. She makes your Nia experience FUN!
“Nia has been amazing for me! I love the combination of balancing masculine and feminine energies through dance and have found that I am able to use what I’ve learned in daily life. It has also gave me more awareness of myself which has helped me eat a natural diet so the fat is just melting off my body. I’ve gained confidence, feel healthier and feel a greater sense of connection. Thank-you.” – Linda Farrugia, Tina’s Nia student
