Nia Seattle Spring Jam Video

A Dreamy Day! 

Nia Seattle Spring Jam 2012 at Om Culture

Yesterday, members of the local Nia community floated onto the beautiful Om Culture dance floor for the 8th Annual Nia Seattle Spring Jam.

It was an afternoon free-spirited, dancing delight à la Isadora Duncan. Catch the next Jam in Fall 2012!

No Class on 5/27

On May 27 I’ll be Jammin’

My 11:30 am Nia class on Sun., 5/27 in cancelled, and I hope you know why: it’s the same day as the The Spring Nia Jam (1-2:30 pm at Om Culture in Wallingford). I’ll be teaching at The Jam and I hope you’ll be there dancing with me! ♥ This Jam is a don’t-miss-Niapalooza type of event. If you want to introduce a friend to Nia, this is the perfect opportunity for him or her to sample teachers and enjoy the Nia community under one giant roof! Here are the details:

Give Your Mom a Free Nia Class

Happy Mother’s Day!

Offer your mother a free Nia class with me on Sunday, May 13 at 11:30 am at The Dance Space (124 N 103rd St in Greenwood). Come together and enjoy a blissful beginning to your day!

My mom, Mary comes to nearly every Saturday Nia class year-round. It’s such a sweet time to spend together!

In case your mom needs a little skinny on Nia, here is a lovely description from Nia teacher Jennifer Lucero-Earle:

“Nia is a liberating and transformative lifestyle practice disguised as a fitness modality. It’s a way to develop and maintain a strong and feminine body, cultivate a clear mind, sustain an open heart and free your spirit – all on the playground we call the dance floor. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.”

Spring Nia Jam

Join Puget Sound Nia teachers and students for an energizing afternoon of dance revelry at this year’s Spring Nia Jam on May 27 from 1-2:30 pm at Om Culture in Wallingford. This year’s Jam honors the 135th birthday of Isadora Duncan, a modern dance pioneer and Nia influence. We will embody Duncan Dance – free-spirited, honest movement. All are welcome!

The venue, Om Culture, is spacious with 3,000 square feet of wood dance floor. Located near Gas Works Park in Wallingford, Om Culture offers convenient street parking and even a view of the city.

Nia Seattle hosts two annual Nia Jams – in the fall and spring. They draw an enthusiastic crowd that makes for synergy and joy on the dance floor. If you’re interested in trying Nia, attend this event. You will have a chance to sample a variety of teachers and meet the friendly, creative and talented Nia community. RSVP on Facebook!
