It feels so cool to see the dynamics of what happens when men step onto the dance floor with a group of women dancing. I see the men usually going straight to the front of the group and giving it their absolute best. I feel their excitement to want to move their bodies and do their best at following the guided movement.
The Nia Technique brings men and women to the dance floor as singles dancing and as couples
The women are only too happy to take a back row approach beside the men and let them do what men do best, “take the Lead”
This is a typical situation and yet there is always an exception, sometimes the men choose to enjoy dancing with a group from the back of the class and be inspired by the gracefully expressive nature of a woman dancing.
It is a wonderful feeling to see a group of men and women dancing and enjoying these dynamics, and I see it bring out the best in what a woman enjoys about being a woman, and what a man feels good about being a man.
How to get a man onto the dance floor ?
The in the sober world of men dancing this is believe it or not a common question most women ask. Us women just want to see and enjoy the company of men dancing. The men will say they are shy and scared to make a fool of themselves, The whole two left feet excuse.
Men take the lead in a dance class , naturally they pick up the moves faster.
As a Nia Technique teacher, I see men coming to dance with us more and more. To the sheer delight of the women dancing the men seem to naturally “get” the pattern solving aspect of the choreography in Nia dance and they generally pick up the dance moves quicker.
It’s a delight to see men consciously choosing to take care of their health and fitness, often this happens as a recovery program and as an easeful approach to exercise men are finding the pleasure of Dance
