Life is a dance – Join in with Nia!
Whether you’re gliding across the floor, tapping your toes in a chair, or letting loose in the kitchen, dance awakens your mobility, sparks your mind, and lifts your spirit. Nia is the original barefoot JOY workout, transforming bodies and lives since 1983. Adaptable for all ages and abilities, Nia blends the joy of dance, the discipline of martial arts, the mindfulness of somatics, and timeless spiritual principles to nourish body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Through expressive choreography, energizing music, and mindful movement, Nia builds strength, boosts flexibility, elevates mood, and creates a fun, empowering, and deeply connecting experience.
Joy
Moving your way is the heart of Nia. Kathy blends Form & Freedom with Nia’s 52 moves, exploring diverse music genres to help you feel movement throughout your body. Both a personal and intrinsic experience, Nia fosters a community connection—building friendships and support for life’s journey. All abilities are welcome as we help you experience more joy in motion.
Health
Health is priceless, and movement keeps us strong—especially as we age. Nia builds:
Flexibility – Agility – Mobility – Strength – Stability
Kathy guides students to build strength and health with movement levels suited to their range of motion. Certified in Nia’s Moving to Heal, she offers safe options for those healing from or living with mobility challenges.
Balance

Right / Left | Movement / Stillness
Intensity / Rest | Intrinsic / Extrinsic
By engaging the Four Realms—mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual—Nia offers a richness and depth unlike any other movement practice. Come explore and restore balance.
