Nia

Monthly Special: Friday March 2, 7pm–8pm. $13 or class card.
1st Friday of each month.

Nia is a mind, body, spirit practice based on 13 principles that mindfully combines movements from the dance arts, martial arts, and the healing arts.

Nia encourages us to move our bodies our way, recognizing the uniqueness in all of us. Classes are for all fitness levels and movements are encouraged to be adjusted to find joy in the process of movement. Nia reconnects us to our bodies and invites us to find pleasure in them, leaving criticisms, comparisons and judgments behind.

Each class has a focus and an intent that is connected by music and the movement forms. Nia is a full body workout that magically relaxes and energizes our bodies, brings clarity and peacefulness to our minds, And fills our spirits with joy!

This class is given by Suzanne O'Grady. She is a licensed and certified white belt Nia instructor. While living in Charlottesville, VA she practiced Nia as a student for 5 years. Nia helped to open and heal my mind, body and spirit through the joy of movement. Before moving to Philadelphia, PA in 2009 I successfully completed my Nia training and began the journey of sharing the gift that was given to me… the joy of movement!

5Rhythms Dance

Monthly Special: Friday February 24, 7pm–9pm. $15 or class card.
4th Friday of each month.

We meet to move and find ourselves at our most fluid and creative level. This is a simple and potentially profound practice and you can't get it wrong. It's a chance to explore for yourself, and everyone is welcome, regardless of age, fitness, ability or experience.

The 5Rhythms® of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness are different ways of moving that embody different ways of being in the world. Together, they form The Wave; a simple movement practice that encourages us to find our own unique dance. Demos, exercises, and partner dances are woven into the Wave. This class is given by Richard McConnell Jerram.

You can find out more from the 5Rhythms web site, and from this Wikipedia 5Rhythms article.
