Nia is a movement program that draws from dance, martial arts, yoga, and tai chi. It empowers people to utilize their body, mind, and spirit with simple expressive movements. 

Nia is a fun workout, adaptive for all individual needs and abilities, it can be done barefoot, or with shoes, or in a chair.

Dancing connects us to other cultures through folk and world music, while the variety of tempos and sequences improve balance, cognitive skills, and agility.

Nia is like chocolate: you've got to try it to taste it! Try a class!
