SS07X Nia Dance Class (Online) *CHANGE OF DATE*

Nia is meant for everybody! It combines simple steps and free dance. This practice, developed in the United States in the 1980s, helps relieve stress, boost the mood, find inner joy, and feel a sense of belonging. This gentle and energizing hour-long class offers a cardiovascular workout, strengthens the muscles and bones, and helps with balance and coordination. We dance in comfortable exercise clothes and barefoot. I use world music and each class feels different! No previous dance background is needed.
