About

ABOUT NIA® DANCE:

Dance, move, laugh, shake and put JOY into your workout! Nia® is a body-mind movement program that offers an artistic and innovative approach to fitness and healing. Blending aspects of Martial Arts, Dance Arts, and Healing Arts, Nia® creates an experience that involves your whole body, as well as your spirit. The stillness and concentration of Tai Chi, the alignment and strength of Yoga, the explosive power of Tae Kwon Do, and the grace and spontaneity of Modern and Ethnic dance – all create a whole new sense of wellbeing! Classes are exhilarating not guilt-driven, expressive not one-dimensional, and healing not exhausting. Every class offers a unique combination of moves that help increase the flexibility and mobility in your joints while also conditioning the three main areas of the body: base, core and upper extremities. Rev up your heart rate while having fun and finding pleasure in every step. End every class by melting away your stress using relaxation techniques that enhance breathing and the flow of energy throughout your whole body.

NOTE:

Classes are are facilitated using three levels of intensity and participants are encouraged to explore three planes of movement based on their individual needs. I assure you that you will succeed in Nia, classes are suitable for all body types and ability levels. We offer public and private classes.

ABOUT VALERIE'S TEACHING APPROACH:

I am a Nia Technique® Teacher and Certified Corporate Wellness Coach. My classes are unique because I use a multidimensional approach towards exercise and healing.

For starters, I help people reshape the way they think and feel about “fitness,” so they redefine “fit” and it feels personal. I am certified in multiple Nia Technique® Specialty Programs and have tools to tailor movement experiences for all audiences. My classes are very adaptable and participants are encouraged to make body-centered choices based on their personal needs. People who are in leadership, entrepreneurs, holistic practitioners, artists and community builders appreciate and love my classes because I teach them how to workout from the inside out. I encourage them to take care of themselves first- so they can better serve others. My approach is authentic, intentional and positive; it’s fitness for body-mind-spirit. I craft every experience using a class Focus and a class Intent, this makes the class integrated, conscious and whole. In my classes I will challenge you and I will also guide you so you learn how to maximize your movement and neural potential with Nia®. I believe in leading by example, so I coach based on what motivates, educates, and inspires me as an Entrepreneur, Holistic Fitness instructor and Wellness Coach.

    Frequently asked questions

    If they are joining a Public Nia® dance class they will get an opening statement about what they will experience in my Nia® dance class that given day. By design, Nia® classes are facilitated using modifications. I remind my students they are in the driver seat of their class and they are always welcome to modify as needed. To support them, I always demonstrate the dance using 3 levels of intensity and then encourage them to make a choice.
