Dance classes and groups are some of the most effective methods to not only meet new people but to create easier, new social relationships. This blog will discuss a fun social dancing company in Hamilton, Raglan and online. It provides the ideal setting for meeting new people, as well as strengthening existing connections, such as with friends or family.
Making new social connections and expanding your social circles can be incredibly tough. As you get older, finding new friends can become harder as you run out of new places to meet people. The odds of meeting new people also become limited when your weekly routine and schedule lack forms of socialisation outside of your work, current companions, or family environment.
The Fun and Beauty of Nia Dance
Nia Dance is a holistic movement style that is non-impact and highly adaptable, making it easy to participate in by anybody! Because of its diverse design, Nia Dance can cater to people of different ages, genders, and degrees of mobility and ability. Whether you’re a stay-at-home mum or a student, Nia Dance is a one-of-a-kind style of dance that everyone can try. This opens the opportunity to meet a broader, more diverse spectrum of people.
Since Nia Dance is adaptable, it can be a gentle type of movement on the body that doesn’t leave you sore or tired. So if your goals are to try something new and meet new people rather than to engage in demanding activity that exhausts you, Nia Dance is ideal. With Nia Dance, it’s simple to grin and have a good time with your peers, friends, and teacher.
As mentioned earlier, Nia Dance is a non-impact, free-flowing form of dance. It aims to help you become in-tune with your body and listen to what movements feel right. This leaves you with numerous physical, mental, and spiritual health and lifestyle benefits too.
Some of these benefits include higher levels of organ and cognitive functioning, weight loss, supported spinal posture, strengthened muscles, improved balance and coordination, enhanced mobility and joint flexibility, clearer headspace, calmer and more positive energy, and a deeper connection to your chakra to name a few.
Come Out of Your Cocoon as a Social Butterfly at Dance NZ
Dance NZ offers a variety of classes that allow for excellent socialisation. This is because each class has been uniquely designed to target specific individual needs and abilities. For example, if you’re recovering from an injury or illness and haven’t been able to make social connections because of your injury, Dance NZ offers Nia Dance Move to Heal, an ACC Recovery class designed for those with injuries and limited mobility, so you can start being social again while meeting people in similar situations.
Gentle Nia is ideal for total beginners or those with restricted mobility. This class allows you to meet people with similar abilities. It also helps develop similar social relationships that can lead to Nia Dance practise outside of class too. Nia for Parkinson’s Freedom Dance is a class open only to people with Parkinson’s disease and their caregivers. This makes it an excellent social interaction group for individuals going through the same experiences.
Classic Nia is best for experienced dancers and those who are confident in their skills. It’s also perfect for those who have higher levels of mobility and flexibility. So, no matter where you are in life, Dance NZ offers a class that is suitable for you and in the ideal atmosphere for you to socialise. Dance NZ also conducts get-togethers outside of lessons on occasion. So, you can find opportunities to socialise with your new peers outside of classes.
