Terre's story

So many people told me they love to dance. So many people told me they would love to combine their exercise with dance, so I was interested in teaching an exercise that really was dance. I was looking on the internet for something and I found Nia*. I bought the book then went to a couple of classes and realized this was somewhat what I was looking for. I say "somewhat" because it is so much more than I could have imagined. Nia is amazing. It is a workout, where you sweat, it is a cardio dance where your heart pumps and you move your body, yet the idea is Joy, so your spirit soars.  

When I started working out about four years ago I realized that people really do need to move. Our bodies were made to move. The saying, “Use it or lose it” applies to movement, strength, balance, agility, all that stuff that goes along with our bodies. So I decided that I wanted to do something to help people, but I didn’t know what until I found Nia.

*Nia is the creation of Debbie Rosas-Stewart and Carlos AyaRosas. They brought together many ideas and movement modalities. It truly is a unique fitness practice.
