Dash for Diva Nia Performance

Bay Club Fitness owner Tracy Moore has asked me to create a 3 minute Nia dance to kick off the two part fashion show at the Dash for Diva event this Thurs Oct 29th at 6:10pm and again at 7:45pm. The Portland Press Herald is the sponsor for this evening, so we will be starting a dance off dancing with newspapers. We will be in black with lots of pearls and I am sure a few sparkles. This should be a really amazing evening. Tons of vendors, tons of fun and all about women! So join the fun. $7 in advance and $10 at the door. The event is being held at the Holiday Inn by the Bay from 4:30-9:30pm. Check out http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/dashofdiva/ for more info!

13 The Number of Transformation

Taught 4 Steps and Stances workshops back to back in my home studio yesterday. First began at 1pm and I finished around 7:30pm. What a day! I set the price at $13 per student and kept the classes down to 2-4 students for semi-private sessions. Each class was a little over an hour and I kept them running until the next group showed up. Cool and over cast start of the day ended with a bizarre snow squall as the last group left in the dark. What a day. AND I had 13 students. Guess is was just meant to be.

13 is the number of Transformation. I hope is was transformational for everyone who came...I know it was for me!

Come Celebrate Halloween in style with the Nia Maine Teacher Jam Benefit Dance Party at World Arts. Many of our fantastic teachers will be coming to jam from South Portland to Camden! We have two special guest teachers joining the fun. Robyn Maltz f...rom Boston and Susie Schoonmaker from San Francisco will be dancing with us! $5 for an amazing night. All procedes go to World Arts! Wear a costume or dress up your body's way! Bring drink and goodies to share. Trick or Treat!

Robyn and Susie are kicking off their Embody Your Beauty Nia Weekend on
Nov 5-8 at Stage Neck Inn in York Maine a little early to support of our growing Nia Maine community. They will also be guest teaching the 9am Sat Nia Class at World Arts on Oct 31rst ($12 drop in).

What are Sacred Contracts?

There is a calling, a longing, to find the connections that bring us home to our soul, to find the spirit and the meaning in our lives. Caroline Myss calls this our Sacred Contracts; agreements made before we were born that shape every aspect of our lives and relationships. Imagine how you may live, whom you would forgive, and what you might do if you had an insight into your personal soul plan? Sacred Contracts explores the world of archetypes and allows us to identify the old friends who have been with us all of our lives. Once you've met your archetypes in a consultation or seminar you will be forever changed. Your archetypes are old friends waiting to be acknowledged by your conscious mind, and waiting to show you your life purpose and to assist you in life choices that match your soul destiny. www.myss.com

Wonderful Youtube Video with Nia Co-founder Debbie Rosas

I have always known youtube can be a resource for some entertaining videos, but did you know how many great videos are now available about Nia? Debbie Rosas was recently featured on a South African television show, Free Spirit" after her visit there earlier in the year. The video is around 8 minutes and I highly recommend a look to any current Nia enthusiasts and curious people out there looking for a healthy and fun way to keep your body, mind and spirit in shape!
