Notes on Blue
What an amazing week! I am officially a Blue Belt Nia Instructor and loving it! My week in Portland Oregon with Nia Founders, Debbie Rosas and Carlos Rosas, was a profound experience that I will carry with me throughout my life. 40 eager Nia instructors came together to embrace this beautiful movement form. I am grateful for the chance to deepen my relationship with Nia and look forward to bringing more pleasure, insight and clarity to my classes.Thursday, June 4, 2009

World Arts Open House-Huge Success!

What a wonderful event! Saturday night's World Arts Open House was a huge success. The parking lot on Commercial Street was full of inspired dancers and attendees. There were great demos and dance performances. Thank you to all who came and did a little Nia with us. Although we started a little late in the game, we gave them a taste of the joy of Nia! Special thanks to Erin who had just enough time to scoot out the door and make it over to Space Gallery!
