How to Join Our Online Dance Classes

Welcome!

Whether you're an experienced dancer or just starting your journey, you're in the right place. In this post we're diving into the many benefits of joining online dance classes — where flexibility, convenience, and creativity meet.

In our fast-paced world, finding time to indulge in your passions can be challenging. But it is so important to pour into your own cup and find a movement practice that resonates with you. That’s where online dance classes can come in. Imagine being able to join a dance session from the comfort of your home, at a time that suits you best. You don’t have to worry about rearranging your schedule to make it to a studio—just move when it works for you.

My classes offer a gateway to movement that nourishes both body and soul. If your schedule is packed or if you prefer to move at your own pace, pre-recorded classes through Nia On Demand is the perfect solution! This gives you access to a library of classes that you can explore whenever the mood strikes.

Online dance classes offer the perfect blend of flexibility, convenience, and quality. Whether you’re drawn to the real-time interaction of live online dance classes via Zoom, or the freedom of Nia On Demand, there’s something here for you. Don’t wait—step into the rhythm of your life and discover the joy of dance with me.

The Benefits of Online Dance Classes

Joining online dance classes has completely transformed the way I experience dance, and I believe it can do the same for you. The convenience of being able to dance from home means that there's no need to rush through traffic or rearrange your day—my students can simply log in and start moving whenever they’re ready. This flexibility has allowed many of my students to stay consistent with their practices, even on the busiest days.

Another benefit of virtual dance classes is the accessibility they offer. No matter where you are in the world, you can join in and dance with me. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable and confident to explore your movements. What makes my classes truly special is the personal touch I bring to each session. Even though we’re connecting through a screen, in live classes I make it a point to engage with every student, fostering a sense of community that feels just as strong as being in a physical studio. Whether you join live sessions or access dance classes from home, you'll find yourself part of a supportive and inspiring community.

 
 

Joining Live Classes via Zoom

It is easier than ever to join dance classes online. Individual instructors, like me, are offering online wellness classes. I livestream my most popular class time, weekdays at 9 am on Zoom! We use Zoom video conferencing software that can replicate the intimacy and personal connection you would get in our in-person group class settings. Zoom is available on iPhone, Android and computers. For zoom setup see this youtube video.

Checklist for Class

Before you jump into your online dance class, it’s important to make sure you’re fully prepared so you can get the most out of your experience. But don’t worry, the set-up is easy! To help you set up for success, I’ve put together a simple checklist that covers everything from creating the right space to choosing the best clothing and making sure your device is ready to go. Whether you’re joining a live session or following along with a recorded class, this checklist will ensure you’re comfortable, focused, and ready to move!

  • Space: Clear an area in your home where you can move freely without obstruction.

  • Clothing: Wear comfortable, breathable clothing that allows for a full range of motion.

  • Footwear: Nia is best practiced barefoot, but you can wear soft-soled shoes if preferred.

  • Device: Use a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a stable internet connection.

  • Audio/Video: Ensure your device’s camera and microphone work if you're joining a live class where interaction is encouraged.

I’m especially thrilled to share my contributions to Nia On Demand, where I've had the opportunity to co-create and choreograph routines that are very close to my heart—Bloom and Alchemy. These routines embody the transformative power of movement, combining dynamic, expressive dance with grounding, restorative practices. They are both designed to help you bloom into your fullest self while exploring the alchemy of mind-body connection.

 

BLOOM NIA EXPERIENCE
35 MINUTES

In this 35-minute class you will:

  • Focus on the three movement arts: martial arts, dance, + healing arts

  • Direct your attention to movement and energy diversity

  • Deepen self-healing and conditioning

Perfect for students of all levels and abilities - from beginners to beyond!

ALCHEMY

The FOCUS of the Nia routine ALCHEMY is breath.

The INTENT is to use breath to alchemize music and movement into a deeply meaningful and personal movement experience.

My Nia routine ALCHEMY will teach you to develop the skill of moving with dynamic ease. The sonic landscape of ALCHEMY is meant to play your body in the way that breath flows in and out of you. Breathe into the sounds, sensations, and soul of your dance-writing experience!

I can’t wait for you to experience it and feel the magic of these routines. Whether you’re a seasoned Nia practitioner or just beginning your journey, Nia On Demand offers the perfect space to explore, grow, and dance your way to a healthier, more joyful life.

Choreography and Routines

Choreographing routines is one of my greatest passions, and it’s a process I approach with deep creativity and care. When I create a routine, I start by immersing myself in the music. For me, music isn’t just a backdrop—it’s the driving force behind every movement. I pay close attention to the rhythm, melody, and emotional tone of each track, letting the music guide the flow of the routine. This focus on musicality is at the heart of what makes my routines unique. I want every movement to feel as though it’s a natural extension of the music, creating an experience that’s both seamless and deeply connected.

Balance is another key element I prioritize in my choreography. I aim to create routines that are well-rounded, offering a mix of energy, fun, and introspection. It’s important to me that each class feels complete—energizing your body while also providing moments of reflection and calm. I believe this balance is what makes my routines not just workouts, but holistic experiences that nurture both body and soul.

I also love co-creating routines with friends and fellow instructors. Collaboration brings together the best of both minds and opens up new creative possibilities. The exchange of ideas and perspectives enriches the choreography, leading to routines that are dynamic, innovative, and full of life. Whether I’m working solo or with a partner, my goal is always to create something that resonates with students and elevates their practice.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Online Dance Experience

To truly maximize the benefits of your online dance experience, it’s important to approach each class with intention and enthusiasm.

Start by setting clear goals for yourself. Whether it’s improving your technique, increasing your fitness, or simply finding more joy in movement, having a goal gives you something to strive for and keeps you focused.

Creating a routine is another key to success. Schedule your dance sessions just like you would any other important appointment. Consistency not only helps you build skills but also makes dance a regular and rewarding part of your life. Set aside a dedicated space where you can dance without distractions, and treat this time as a gift to yourself.

Staying motivated can be challenging, especially when you’re practicing at home. To keep your energy up, mix things up by trying different classes and routines. Celebrate your progress, no matter how small, and remind yourself why you started in the first place.

Engaging with me and other participants can greatly enhance your experience. Don’t hesitate to ask questions, share your thoughts, or participate in discussions. Building connections with others in the class helps create a sense of community, making the experience more enjoyable and enriching. You’ll find that the encouragement and support from fellow dancers can be incredibly motivating.

Remember, your online dance experience is what you make of it. Embrace the journey, stay connected, and most importantly—have fun!
