Everybody, Love Your Body
December 2010 |
Greetings!
First, I want to thank you all for your support this year as I transitioned from being a devoted Nia student to a passionate Nia teacher. I love to teach and doubly love to dance with and learn from each of you. Your support, encouragement and feedback continue to enrich my learning and practice. I feel so lucky to be your friend, teacher, and student.
I have some exciting changes to announce. I am adding two new classes to my schedule starting in January 2011 and my Friday evening class will be moved to 6pm in Fremont. With my new schedule, I will be teaching five days per week. I am most excited about teaching at two new studios that are run by wonderful women that are passionate about movement.
My Friday evening classes at Open Flight Studio end on Friday, December 17th. One of the studio partners has requested the space on an ongoing basis which resulted in the cancellation of my class. I will be teaching on both Friday Decembers 24 and 31 from 9:30am - 10:30am at the Dance Space in Greenwood. Come celebrate Christmas Eve and New Years Eve with me.
I will continue to teach at Open Flight Studio on Monday evenings at 5:30pm. My Nia colleague, Jeanna Wheeler, will continue to teach at the studio on Saturday mornings at 10:15am. She will continue to honor a class card you have with me at her Saturday class. I am also excited to announce that Jeanna is adding additional classes to her schedule in January at Skin Deep Studio: Mondays and Wednesdays at 9am. Her full schedule is here.
Starting in January, I will be teaching on Friday evenings at Delilah's Belly Dance Studio (Visionary Dance Productions) in Fremont. The studio is truly stunning and they offer a variety of belly dance classes. I am looking forward to trying the "Shimmy Madness" class! Delilah has created a space that I can only describe as sacred. And she is a remarkable woman devoted to dance, community and the empowerment of women.
On January 13th I begin teaching at a brand new studio opening in Wallingford. The studio, Fresh Fitness and Dance, promises to be a health and wellness oasis with a community-based feel. They will offer a variety of both traditional and non-traditional classes and programs. The open house is tentatively schedule for January 9, 2011. I will send an update as soon as the details are available.
As I reflect on 2010, the one phrase that came to mind was the focus of the very first routine I taught. The focus of Sanjana was Dynamic Ease. I've learned to find the blissful resting place in my dance and am learning to move more efficiently and with a sense of relaxation. This comes in handy as I learn new routines and delve more deeply into choreography. But the one principle of Nia that has resonated most for me this year is the Joy of Movement. I've never been happier. Thank you for allow me to share my Joy with you!
May you dance into the new year with Joy and Dynamic Ease.
With warmth,
Jennifer Lucero-Earle
