Want to start the new year off right? What better way to do so than to get involved in mentally and physically stimulating New Year dance Hamilton! Maybe you have a New Year’s resolution to be more active or try something new? Look no further than this blog!
Nia Dance is a beautifully choreographed dance with 52 forms of movement. Considered holistic in nature, this fitness form was specially designed to provide spiritual, mental and physical healing and improvements. Some common benefits include: increased mobility, weight loss, higher levels of happiness, decreased anxiety and stress, and deeper spiritual and self-connection. Because of its unique design that heavily factors in the composition of core components of the human body (muscle groups, joints, organ structure), it is easy to adapt to each individual’s body and needs while still providing all the benefits.
But where exactly can you practice Nia Dance? Well, read on to find out about Dance NZ.
What’s New With Dance NZ In 2022?
If you’re a long time member at Dance NZ, welcome back! Or if you’re a new member or looking for Nia Dance classes to participate in, welcome! Dance NZ is a Nia Dance company that teaches 5 classes a week at in-person venues located in Raglan or Hamilton. These classes are also available online in the form of 24-hour purchasable replays or online, live Zoom streams. 2022 Dance NZ classes, both online and in-person, start up again on Tuesday the 25th of January.
The timetable of all Term 1 Nia Dance classes, including both online and physical sessions, takes place at the same times, dates and venues as last year. You can view these details at the end of this blog or here on the Dance NZ website. If you’re planning to attend Nia Dance Move to Heal on the 25th, arrive half an hour early at 10:45 am to enjoy a lovely cup of tea and chat with your peers and instructor, Belinda Goodwin.
In order to attend physical classes, you must be fully vaccinated and have your vaccination pass ready to be scanned upon arrival. We understand that there may be reasons, medical or personal, that you cannot get your vaccination.
