"When I think of what FreeDance provides, I think of the possibility of human form. I choose the word "possibility" because possibility is the gateway to our true potential. "Potential" means there is a possibility for me to change, to transform and grow into a physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually developed human being." from Debbie Rosas, founder and CEO of the Nia Technique.

Nia FreeDance is more than just doing your boogie. It is an 8 stage process intended to stimulate movement creativity. FreeDance is an expanded experience that takes you out of "just dancing" and into the river of the unexpected. Practicing FreeDance allows you to witness your own movement habits and develop body awareness, which gives you access to your body's messages. FreeDance provides you with the space to listen to your body, mind, heart and spirit to make choices, to direct the kind of healing and conditioning you need, and to be in conscious relationship with yourself.

In this 2 hour playshop, you will go deeper into the Nia 8 stage process of FreeDance, we'll have some time for journaling our experiences and we will bring our exploration into a full hour-long Nia class. Join us to play and explore the possibilities of who you are and who you dream to be.

Lois Curtin- January 2011 NIA Student of the Month

What do you love about NIA?
NIA has transformed my life! I began my NIA journey in 2009 following a difficult divorce from a 20 year relationship. It was a grieving year and I needed something passionate in my life just to feel alive again. My life coach suggested I check out Nia since she knew I loved to dance. I remember meeting Maggie at my first class and being struck by her beautiful energy and bright spirit. The first routine I ever danced was "sexy" and I was delighted with the bold and sassy dance moves... I was hooked. The energy I feel when I step into the room, along with all the laughter when Maggie somehow empowers us to be our silliest selves, is indescribable! My heart is filled with gratitude for being part of such an amazing dance community. I continue to be inspired by Maggie's enthusiasm and creativity.

What brings you joy?
Nature, angels, stones, cooking, slow dancing and eating good food (which is not always what I've cooked) put a smile on my face. I also have fun hanging out with my two grown sons who make me laugh and make me proud. Music changes my mood in an instant as does being silent in nature, body surfing in the beautiful Maine ocean on a warm August day, and enjoying the company of my amazing sisters and good friends. I am blessed to also be a member of another loving community, the Center for Grieving Children, whose mission is to provide loving support to grieving children and their families.

What would you like us to know about yourself?
I recently created my own business, Healing Hearts, and offer transitional life coaching to people who have experienced some form of loss in their life. My passion is to be of service to those who are trying to navigate major life transitions such as divorce, sudden or chronic medical illness, loss of a job, or the death of a loved one. My career background is rather diverse and includes medical advocacy, hospice & bereavement, peer support group facilitation, Clinical Medical Assistant and human resources/employee benefits management. Although my approach comes from an intuitive, heart-centered space, practical steps are incorporated as one moves forward to create resonance and harmony in their life. I am fortunate to share a lovely space at Union Station with Nancy Frederick and Baylight Homeopathy. If interested, I can be reached at healingheartinme@gmail.com or (207)-400-1175.

P.S. As part of another venture, I will be conducting Angel Card readings in the Spring!

Nancy Frederick-December Dance Nia Student Spotlight

Nancy...What do you love about NIA?
Nia (and Maggie!) has been an important and integral part of my life since my first class, about over four years ago. Having spent a grueling few years with work and travel, I was aching and creaking in every conceivable moving part. The last thing I thought I could do was dance, let alone barefoot on a tile floor, no less! In my previous life, having spent hours in the gym, doing aerobics, spinning, and long distance running, I found it hard to believe that a few hours a week of pure enjoyment and fun could restore my strength, flexibility and faith in my body. Maggie's enthusiasm for Nia, authentic approach to teaching and desire to help each person discover her own body's way of moving has been truly inspiring for me.


What brings you joy? My life is filled with enjoyment on all levels. I find it in my children and grandchildren and their rich and amazing lives, in my husband of almost forty years who still never fails to surprise me, and in my work as a homeopath, which is a delicious combination of detective, naturalist and shaman. I live in a beautiful spot in the country and thoroughly enjoy finding the balance between spending time with the woods, the water and the stars, and working in my ever-expanding garden.


What would you like us to know about yourself? A few years ago, I realized the dream of starting a homeopathic school which offers programs for those interested in self-care, and also for individuals who wish to become practitioners. Baylight Homeopathy graduated it's first four-year class of practitioners in June of 2010 ! Anyone interested can find out more about classes at www.baylighthomeopathy.com. In addition, I'll be traveling to Tanzania in 2011 to bring homeopathy and attunement to AIDS patients and orphans in a clinic started by a colleague who is having remarkable results.
