This White Belt is the foundation for teaching and learning Nia. Everything begins with Principle #1 – The Joy of Movement. The principles of this belt focus on the physical realm of the body and learning how to sustain and increase sensation in the body for pleasure and self-healing. The Nia principles are explored through the lens of science, craft and the art of the body and movement. Students will be introduced to the nine movement forms of Nia: Jazz, Duncan, Modern, Aikido, Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Do, The Alexander Technique, The Work of Moshe Feldenkrais and Yoga. Nia's proprietary system for music appreciation is introduced at the White Belt along with all of the 52 moves of the Nia Technique.

Each day is divided into highly interactive sessions where you will learn, move, and practice the Science, Craft, and Art of the Nia Body of Work. This is accomplished using both cognitive and experiential learning models. This 7-day experience offers leading edge education in movement dynamics, body-mind physiology, kinesiology, choreography, physical/x-ray anatomy, and music appreciation. In addition you will participate with other students in Nia classes to witness the power of the Nia Technique in practice. The Nia Intensive experience empowers everyBody to take their practice and their life the next level.
