If you need something to ground yourself and keep your inner energy clear, focused, and at peace, then look no further than this blog! In today’s written piece, we’ll be discussing a stress relief dance in Hamilton, known as Nia Dance, and informing you of all the wondrous and marvelous benefits it provides, and how easily it can make you forget all about your worries and stress.

Allow Nia Dance To Melt Away The Stresses of Life

Studies have shown that specific music, social interaction and dance can significantly decrease stress. These three things alone are just a few things that Nia Dance specialises in and prioritises. The music of Nia Dance is specifically chosen based on its instruments, chords played, binaural frequencies and rhythm to provide maximum benefits to your mind and soul. Some of these benefits include mental clarity and focus, improved cognitive function and heightened sensory awareness. 

The dance movements of Nia Dance are 52 in total, and each is inspired by movements within the martial, healing and other dance arts. These include yoga, aikido, jazz and Tai-Kwando to name a few. All movements are easily adaptable for each individual’s needs and movement levels, and it’s encouraged to not follow the moves exactly. Rather, let each movement be a guide and allow your body to find what flows naturally; this is how you’ll get the best benefits.

Lastly, whether you taking part in Nia Dance online with friends and family joining in or you’re participating in-person at a Dance NZ class, you’ll be sure to receive a boosted amount of social interaction. Receiving enough socialisation throughout the week will help boost your happiness, calm your energy, and provide you with laughter and new or stronger social connections.

The Non-Physical Side of Nia Dance

So, what type of exercise can provide so many benefits to so many areas and be accessible to anybody? Well, welcome to the world of Nia Dance. Also known as the Nia Technique, NIA stands for ‘Neuromuscular Itergrative Action’ or ‘Non-Impact Aerobics’. Each name relates to the way Nia Dance is designed, following the complex makeup of our nervous system, organs, muscles and joints, and by how adaptable it is through its non-impact movements.

Nia Dance, compared to other fitnesses, focuses on changing movements based on what feels most comfortable and effective for your body. Because everybody, every person is different, Nia Dance emphasises that it’s okay not to perform movements exactly like your instructor, and encourages you to move how you feel and to even add your own style! Being focused on how the movement feels rather than how it is precisely performed, as well as its non-impact actions, is what makes Nia Dance so effective in delivering a wide variety of benefits to anybody who participates, whether that participation is a 7-minute workout or an hour-long class.

Nia Dance also incorporates mindfulness techniques and important mental teachings from movement arts such as yoga, tai-chi, and the works of Moshe Feldenkrais to name a few. Some of the beautiful mental and spiritual benefits Nia Dance can offer you includes: enhanced connection to self, improved sensory awareness, higher levels of mindfulness, feelings of joy and peace, increased energy and productivity, and easier connection to those around you. 

Connect To Your Soul At Dance NZ

If you’re based in New Zealand, you may have found difficulty in coming across a Nia Dance company in your area or that provides online live sessions. Dance NZ is a Nia Dance-based group that offers classes online through Zoom and in-person at different beautiful venues in Raglan and Hamilton. There are 5 classes available at Dance NZ each week at various times and dates, with 4 different types of classes that you can take part in. 

Your preference of class and method of participating is entirely up to what you feel is the best fit for you! You may not feel comfortable performing in front of other people, so an online class or 24-hour purchasable replay might suit you better! Or maybe you love working out in groups and taking on a physical class.

Depending on your goals and ability or restrictions of your body and other factors, each class may appeal to you differently. Classic Nia is a great all-rounder class for anyone, especially experienced dancers. Gentle Nia is ideal for those beginning in fitness, dance or require soft movement for low mobility. Nia Dance Move to Heal is a certified ACC recovery program that is perfect for those with intense injuries or minor aches or pains. The final class, Nia for Parkinsons Freedom Dance, is only available to people with Parkinson’s and their carers but is an excellent and stimulating class that help alleviate Parkinson’s symptoms.

Let The Joy of Nia Dance Transform Your Life

Nia Dance is a non-impact holistic exercise that consists of 52 movements that are modelled after and inspired by 9 distinct martial, healing, and dance disciplines. It is best done barefoot and requires no equipment, including shoes! Nia Dance can be done standing up in a large space, such as at home, outside, or at a public class. It may also be done sitting down and simply utilising your upper body. This makes it easy for anybody to boost the joy in their life, regardless of their skills, mobility, or access to certain locations.

Nia Dance is unlike any other dance or physical activity. Nia Dance assists you in maintaining joyous energy both inside and outside of class when it comes to mental healing and giving harmony in your life through your health. It also teaches you to listen to your body and focus on the motions that seem natural to you. 

Nia Dance has the advantage of being very customizable, making it simple to personalise the moves and bring your flair and personality to the dance. You’ll get the distinct impression that you’re dancing in perfect sync with your body.

Nia Dance may also lead to a plethora of positive benefits to bring joy to you. These include improved mental, emotional, and physical health, as well as a healthier lifestyle. Nia Dance is most commonly known for its weight loss, muscular building, posture assistance, and pain alleviation benefits. It can also assist with cognitive and physiological functioning, as well as reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. It can also aid with balance and coordination, as well as circulation and cardiovascular health.

Let The Joy of Nia Dance Flow Through You

Nia Dance, commonly known as the Nia Technique, is a unique form of movement in the form of dance. Inspired by three healing arts, three martial arts, and three dance arts, all 52 stylized motions are non-impact and highly adaptable. Some of these nine movement arts include Tai-chi, Duncan dance, yoga, and the Alexander technique. Nia Dance’s unique combination of movement arts not only delivers joy through fun dance but also its music and mindfulness practices.

Each movement in Nia Dance was created to assist your mind to relax and remove tensions in your life, building you up with more joy. Nia Dance guides you into concentrating on the music’s rhythm and the Nia movements as they flow organically through your body. This helps you to have a more enjoyable and relaxed experience in and out of class, increasing your levels of joy and happiness. 

The great thing about Nia Dance is that you don’t need to commit to hours of practice each week to notice an improvement in your health, well-being and joy. A Nia Dance workout can be as short as 7 minutes at home or as long as an hour in a social setting. Both are equally beneficial to your health and provide joy to your day immediately after your Nia workout.

This can be done through various methods within Nia Dance, including the music, the movements, the teachings, and through social connection and support.

The music of Nia Dance aids in both the creation and enhancement of happiness within the mind, body, and spirit. This is through the binaural frequencies used in the songs, as well as specific instruments and chords played. Nia Dance music not only helps create happiness but also feelings of peace and serenity, aids your nervous system and organ function, and can help open your seven body chakras.

Happiness With Nia Dance

The movements of Nia Dance are inspired by different dance, healing and martial arts. There are 52 movements in total, each one completely adaptable and non-impact, making it easy for everyone to participate and have fun. The way Nia actions were designed aims to target you in various, beneficial ways, including pain relief and increased muscle strength.

As mentioned prior, the background of Nia Dance originates from different movement arts, including yoga, jazz, and tai-chi. The teachings of these arts also translate into the teachings of Nia Dance, which create verbal lessons of love, support and joy that you can apply to your life and give to others. Many mindfulness techniques are also incorporated with the Nia technique, helping to bring tranquillity, and mental and physical relaxedness.

Social connections through Nia Dance can also help create happiness in your life. Studies have shown that participating in dance with others can boost feelings of joy versus participating alone. Nia Dance is an ideal dance form to practice with others, and at Dance NZ, whether you participate online or in-person, you can feel connected to your peers.
