Day 11 of 52 Nia challenge
I stepped into class today feeling a little cocky, living in the past 10 days of dancing, not RAW, another Nia thing. RAW stands for relaxed, alert, waiting. That’s how to be present for today’s dance. Instead, I was all about racking up another day on the dance floor, looking back over my shoulder and on ahead to the next thing.
Not being in the now felt a little messy, a little off the beat. So. I brought my breathing back to the rhythms and let myself be a little messy and off the beat.
Dancing Express with Dael Parsons. I love the combination of dainty steps with throwing kicks and punches, one minute a fairy princess, the next a fighter. That routine has such great energy, even messy and off the beat.
