Next beginners 6 class series;  27 Apr - 1 Jun.

Are you new to Nia or new to Nia with Alison?  If so, committing to the first 6 Thursday evening classes of term is a great way to step in. These first 6 classes double as a beginners class series and the reason this works well alongside Nia regulars is because we all spend time learning a new Nia routine. ​The term 2 new routine is yet to be decided, but will be linked here when confirmed.
The first 4 weeks we learn, move, energise the Terms' new Nia routine focussing on the base, followed by the core and the upper extremities as we learn new-to-me movement skills. Mid-term (5th class or thereabouts) we will experience a Nia MoveIT class, where we get to have clearly defined time with each of the 52 moves of Nia and experience different types of conditioning. The last class of the 6 week series we re-enter beginners mind and experience a different Classic Nia routine, giving beginner Nia students a glimpse into the movement and music variety Nia offers.

Beginner Nia students will be supported in between weekly classes by suggested reading, podcasts, video's and links to online Nia dance breaks to further support 'stepping in'...
