Nia Free Dance

In a Nia class in addition to the movements led by the teacher there are times when there might be some free dancing. It could be just a portion of your body invited to freedance, we could be doing a pattern with our feet, but our arms are left to move in accordance to the sensation of the music. Or we could have a pattern for our arms, but our feet are being invited to move freely. Or you could just be turned loose to dance to the song that is playing. It is nothing structured, it is un-structure.

If you are interested in learning more about Nia, then FreeDance is a principle of the Nia White Belt that allows for us to explore FreeDance and learn different ways to participant in it.

Nia FreeDance has eight stages:

• Freedance • Being Seduced by the Music • Feelings and Emotions • The Creative Source • Authentic Movement • Witness • Choreography • Nia Class

Each stage has a tag line and three elements to assist in exploring each stage.

One year we had a Nia Free Dance Playshop!  Here are links to the post about it:  The Nia FreeDance Playshop Was Awesome!
