Belconnen Arts Centre

Belconnen Arts Centre, 118 Emu Bank, Belconnen ACT 2617, Australia

Classic Nia is a joyful, low impact movement class set to beautiful music and suitable for all fitness levels. Ideal for those who love to move to music but don’t necessarily call themselves “a dancer”. In a Nia class you will follow simple movement patterns that are drawn from ancient movement practices such as Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Do and Yoga as well as dance styles such as jazz, modern dance and free style dance. You’ll be guided to listen to your body, and move in your own body’s way, with no requirement to “get the steps right”. We start slowly and warm up the body, get a little more active in the middle and then finish with a cool down that is designed to calm the nervous system before we step out of class. While Nia is a barefoot practice, you are welcome to use soft soled shoes if your feet prefer extra support.

No previous dance background is necessary – just a curious mind and a willingness to move and feel.
