Nia Dance Is Different From Any Dance Or Fitness You’ve Experienced Before
Nia Dance is a one-of-a-kind approach that mixes martial arts, healing arts, and dance arts, making it, unlike any other dance fitness form. The movements of the Nia Technique were also created with the complicated constitution of the human body in mind (i.e. muscles, nerves, etc). This results in each movement being able to target your body and can give you more advantages than high-intensity or more complex workouts.
Nia Dance is a low-impact approach that can be modified to meet each individual’s requirements or abilities, unlike other dance programs you may have attempted. Nia Dance is all about listening to your body and recognizing what moves feel correct and which don’t. This distinguishes it from other dance or fitness courses, such as Jazz or Contemporary, and Zumba or Crossfit, in that you aren’t forced to perform motions that don’t feel good in your body.
It’s a highly adaptable movement practice that, unlike other dance forms, doesn’t leave you feeling fatigued, hurting, or sweaty after a workout. You’ll also experience ways of exercising that are completely new to you through the 7 cycles of Nia Dance, such as Floor Play (cycle 6).
It provides a wide range of life advantages, including mental, physical, and emotional health and well-being, as well as providing you with skills and tools to help you better your lifestyle and mentality outside of class. A deeper spiritual connection, improved circulation, increased muscle gain and toning, reduced anxiety and depressive symptoms, improved posture, improved cardiovascular and immune systems, improved organ and cognitive functioning, supported balance and coordination, and weight loss are just a few of the advantages.
Dance NZ
Classic Nia is offered in two separate classes, each on a different day and time of the week. Dance NZ, a Nia Dance group headquartered in Hamilton and Raglan, organizes these lessons. Other classes, suitable for a variety of abilities and types of people, can be found listed below the Book Now header of this blog post if you’re interested. Classic Nia, while accessible for everyone, is best suited to experienced dancers or those with confidence in their mobility. Like other classes, Classic Nia is easily adaptable but does require a greater level of mobility and flexibility.
Belinda Goodwin, your Classic Nia instructor as well as all other Dance NZ programs, ensures that you get the most out of each session and aims to teach Nia Dance at all levels in a friendly, non-judgmental, and happy atmosphere. She just obtained her brown belt in the Nia Technique, indicating that she is a skilled and educated Nia Dance instructor. Belinda offers many levels of difficulty in which routines may engage in each session, so you can be sure there is one that is appropriate for you. If you want to improve, you may even put yourself and your talents to the test.
Don’t worry if you can’t commit to a certain lesson time and day. Replays of a variety of classes are available for purchase 24 hours a day. You may view the replay as many times as you like once you’ve purchased it. Even now that the lockdown is over, online courses and 24-hour replays will be available if you choose to keep doing Nia Dance that way.
