Studying Sexi (the Routine)

 

techniqueNia Technique routines are always choreographed with a focus in mind.  Sexi is about the spine.  The Intent is to stimulate Mobility and Stability in the spinal cord.  The Nia Technique moves that do this most effectively include:

chest isolations,

shimmy,

undulation and spinal roll,

hip bump,

pelvic circles,

head and eye movement.

And use those moves we do.  There are three categories in that list of moves.  They are divided into moves of the head, chest, or pelvis. These are the three body weights that are connected by the spine.  Read More→

Girls Night Out

Nia Technique class

Teaching the Nia Technique routine, Girls Night Out, is an opportunity to share the Joy of Movement as well as Our Selves As Women; connecting to the other women in the room, The Goddess, Mother Earth, the feminine side of each of us, and Women Outside of Nia Class. 

When dancing this routine I like to layer on an additional a focus. Recently, I chose to add the focus of dancing energy through the spine, so that each chakra from root to crown can get a clearing from the movement and create a better flow and bigger space. With this, my intent is that we leave class with greater awareness of our Woman Power and feel energized to dance that power and femininity out into the bigger world as we dance through life.  It pretty much always works.
