Nia November Focus: What are you CELEBRATING?

Each time you step onto the dance floor the month of November, we will raise the question ~ what are you CELEBRATING? 

I believe as we enter into this practice of recognition, GRATITUDE will show us the way to a more pleasurable life dance! 

Join me in November at Anita’s Studio, 4625 SW 53rd Ave, Portland 97221

Nia classes are Mon, Wed and Fri at 9 am.

Nov 22 Fri ~ big question I can teach at 7 am or not at all ~ anyone interested in dancing early that day? It is actually invigorating to get up early once in a while and just see how you move at 7 am. 

Nov 23 - Dec 2nd Anita’s Studio Closed ~ Thanksgiving with the family.

I will return to the dance floor on Tues Dec 3th.

I CELEBRATE you all!

Lis Addison workshop Tues Evening, Nov 5th ~ at Anita's Stark's Home Studio

Hello Everyone,

Rarely do I hold workshops at my home studio.  I have chosen to host Lis after spending time dancing with her in my space, talking over coffee and understanding that she brings value to my life.  I want to be facilitated by her and this gifted body of work she has created.  Join us on this Tuesday evening  in the presence of other like minded beings in the intimacy and warmth of my home studio.

I hope to bring together a sweet intimate group for a lovely fall evening.  Are you in?

Join me by contacting me at 503-310-2864 or anitaastark@gmail.com to send in your deposit and secure your space.  

Yes the workshop is a week or so away.  Spontaneity ~ what can I say!!!!  Spontaneity needs very little lead time…….

Oct Schedule at Anita's Studio ~ Joy to be Dancing with your again!

Hi community,

I am so happy to have returned to the dance floor.  You are all healers and my gratitude goes to all of you. 

 If you are in need of healing ~ ask and receive the energy! the energy is here, it is available and you are part of this community whether you are on the dance floor or not.  

Healing is here for you.

Let’s dance now.  Got to make up for lost time in September.

August Schedule at Anita's Studio

Well we have been dancing up some heat with the Tango tunes. 

Now as the August heats brings it bling, we will shift to some cooler, ZEN music with some JAZZ flare.  

I have been listening to KHMD, our local jazz channel, and pulling some sweet, cooling tunes 

to create a few different August soundscapes to dance to.

Fri, Aug 2

CLOSED Aug 23-Aug 27 ~ Julian and Ashley visiting ~ CAMPING

Wed, Aug 28, Wed

CLOSED Aug 29 -  Sept 3rd ~ Labor Day off

I am learning so much from having quite the expenditure of energy 

from the wedding marathon to now my horse eye issue marathon and continuing an intense teaching schedule.  

What does it mean to feel and source the energy of ZEN during intense times?  

Is it easier to access or harder to access for you when the fire flares in your life?  

How would you describe the sensation of Zen?  

See you on the dance floor,

Anita

April at Anita's Studio ~ Nourishing Nia Dance

As we dance into April, our focus for the month will be how to create Nourishing Nia Movement.  

Full nourishment means we practice a mind/body balance dance.  

Throughout our daily movement we check in with ourselves and ask “does this feel good to my body”.  

Simple, we think, but putting it into our mind/body dance practice may be challenging. 

I will be introducing new moves to awaken the mechanics of the body and shift movement patterns,

all the while creating mind/body balance to nourish our movement practice.  

Yummm!

Here’s the schedule
