Bodyfulness — Seattle Nia with Dina

Hi friends,

We’re moving on up!!

I have a new blog now.

Thanks for your support.

“How can I describe the joy of dancing?…Voluminous, vast, swelling like sails in the wind, the movements of my dance carry me onward – onward and upward, and I feel the presence of a mighty power within me which listen to the music and then reaches out through all my body, trying to find another outlet for listening.”

I’m really excited to start the Nia 52-class challenge this Wednesday, March 15th.

I cannot wait to see what taking 52 Nia classes in 60 days will do for my body, mind, and spirit.

I expect really good things and to be in the best shape of my life! I’ll keep ya posted!

“They who dance
Find infinite golden floors
Beneath their feet.”

–Marjorie Allen Seiffert

PS- this week there will be golden floors under our feet 2X on Friday with Dina, 9am and 6:30 PM.

Pictured here is Studio A at Dance Underground (DUG). On Sunday night, at the Dance Underground Fundraiser, there were between 30-75 people coming in and out to watch, dance, and nibble on yummy treats.

With Nia-Underground’s help (Myself, Barb, & Mollia), the DUG Fundraiser was a success – we raised over $1000 for a new floor in Studio B.

A special thanks to our showcase Nia dance performers: Sarita, Meegan, Valerie, Verhanika, and Pamela!

This weekend, our check-in Goddess Rachel, and her husband, Chris, moved into their new home!

How’s that for leaping forward!?

Be sure to give her a high-five when you see her next. Yay!

“If you want to be truly understood, you need to say everything three times, in three different ways.

Once for each ear… and once for the heart.

The right ear represents the ability to apprehend the nature of the Whole, the wholeness of the circumstance, the forest.

The left ear represents the ability to select a sequential path.

And the heart represents a balance between the two.”

–Paula Underwood Spencer, “A Native American Worldview”

“Dancing is like life. The lessons of one are the lessons of the other.”

–Savion Glover

YES! I can feel something special in the air tonight! Class at 6:30PM.

“You have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself any direction you choose.

You’re on your own.

And you know what you know.

And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go!”

–Thank you Joel and Michelle Levey for this quote from Dr. Seuss!
