Nia combines dance, mindfulness and functional movement in a way that supports both wellbeing and self-expression. There are 52 core moves within Nia, but this class isn’t about mastering them all. It’s about exploring movement in a way that feels good for your body, connecting with music, and discovering the joy of moving without judgement.

You’ll be guided throughout, with plenty of freedom to adapt movements to suit your own body and energy levels. No previous dance experience is needed — just a willingness to show up and move.

Come and experience the benefits of repetition, rhythm, movement and music in a welcoming and supportive space.

We dance Nia in bare feet - so please do be ready for this. If this won't work for you, you can work yoga socks (with grips), or very light (clean) shoes. Wear something comfortable to move in. You might like to bring a yoga mat and blanket for relaxation at the end. It's possible to have a chair if needed.

This is a FREE Taster session, before weekly sessions start on 11th November. Our FREE Taster takes place Wednesday 4th November 9.30-10.30am. This is being held in Annotspace, the beautiful Yurt in Charlestown, Fife. There's the option to pay £1 for the session, this goes into our pay it forward fund, helping to fund our reduced rate spaces for sessions - making wellbeing more accessible. Click here to book

There is a FREE Qi Gong taster session in the same venue at 11am - feel free to stay. We will also have some hot drinks and snacks between the two classes - you might like to linger and have a wee chat after the class ends.
