Wed 14 Aug 2019, 7-8 pm. JAG is a Second Degree Black Belt Nia teacher who, with his dog River, travels the USA sharing his talent and passion for Nia, which he has taught since 1996. JAG has taught in all 48 lower states and in Europe.
JAG’s beloved routine, Blue Earth, was created by collaboration. JAG orchestrated a team of about six Nia teachers from all over the world and using Facebook, they co-created this routine. It is a wonderfully strong and flowing routine that focuses on the power accessed through awareness of our feet touching the earth. The music of Vibrasphere, Sacred Earth, Club de Belugas and more creates a beautiful sonic flow, expanding the Nia experience.
Don't miss this opportunity to dance with JAG while he visits GNV for the second time! Let's give JAG a warm welcome!
Participants of all levels of experience are welcome. Nia is usually done barefoot and can be adjusted to personal needs; a bottle of water is recommended.
