You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet!

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

On December 31, 2010, I cozied up in my hotel room in Tempe, Arizona, and wrote a year end blog post. In it, I summarized all that I felt proud of accomplishing in 2010. It was a good exercise that both motivated and inspired me to continue moving forward with my business.

On December 27, 2011, while en route to The Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, the song “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet” by Bachman Turner-Overdrive came on the radio. In the split second that I heard it, I knew that would be the basis of my end of year 2011 post. Kind of a “Yeah, I’ve done a lot, but there’s more to come… just you wait and see!”

So I decided to make a video blog, one where I’m reminded of what’s really behind what I do. Fun. Joy. Experience. I plan to refer back to it throughout the year, when I need a little boost and encouragement.

So this video is my tribute to myself in 2012. Instead of making promises at the beginning of this new year, I’m setting the intention to continue along my path with JOY.

In this video, I’m just havin’ a little fun, doing what I love to do best – DANCE! It was a blast teaching myself to mix some really meaningful tunes together (next, up, DJ Jenn!). Letting my body groove, uninterrupted, without choreography, allowed me to go deep inside to my pleasure place and brought my soul out to play!

There are 2 ways to watch this video. Imma start watching it from the beginning, cause I NEED to inspire myself. But, in the interest of efficiency, I suggest you start at 3:51 where, well, I get the main point across.

What people are saying about the NEW Advanced Nia class

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

I started something brand new this past fall. New and freaking scary. Something I’d never done before, something that doesn’t exist, to my knowledge, anywhere else. I created an Advanced Nia class. I had no template to follow, and had to dig deep to execute this. But I did it!

While we still follow Nia’s #1 principle “The Joy of Movement”, in this advanced class we test our growing edge; pushing ourselves to expand our practice through the pleasure of dynamic ease. In addition, we create performance choreography and this first class performed last week at the Joy of Dance’s end of term showcase.

Take a look at one of our final class rehearsals, and listen to what students have to say about their experience in the class.



I could see YOU as part of this class – can you?
