Testimonials
"I've had both hips replaced and I am recovering from a recent stroke. Nia has helped me so much! I love the music, it gets me moving and keeps me moving. Nia let's me move at my own pace in my own way. I'm so grateful to have friends that drive me to class." Rosemary
"Saturday morning I had my first exposure to the dancing/yoga/martial art called Nia at Tango by the River. Speaking as a serious dancer with 15 years experience in various dances I found it to be the perfect workout for anyone who wants to get their body into dancing condition in a fun way.... Gracefulness isn’t something you can learn at a workshop—it is something your body has to discover and practice. The circular movements to inspiring music will help you develop the fluidity in motion required to dance beautifully. Nia will help your balance, your flexibility, your posture and your health. “Dancing” barefoot while practicing Nia will help mitigate the many hours our feet spend stuffed into those cool-looking but confining dancing shoes. After the class I felt as if I had just had the most amazing full body massage (literally from head to toe). I was relaxed and invigorated at the same time! I absolutely recommend this class to anyone who wants to improve their dancing ability!" Suzy Sharpe
