Later in life, after very early studies in Ballet, Modern, and Jazz, I completed my Nia Technique Intensive training in 2008 with the incomparable Winalee Zeeb and found myself on a transformative journey. Since then, the Music+Movement+Magic of Nia has empowered my spirit, soul, and body as I continue scholarly pursuits in Literature, Fine Arts, and Museum Studies. With essences of Healing Arts, Martial Arts, and Dance Arts, I have discovered that a lifetime of layered narratives in every body might be awakened through the sensory awareness in every hour of Nia that allows for a “second act.” I invite you to seek out and join in Nia classes, jams, workshops, and events to experience these Second Act Sensations that promote greater health, wellness, and pleasure for you and for your community throughout the New England region!
