On a steamy July evening, a small but mighty group of Nia dancers from D.C/Bethesda came together and created a mini Flash Mob at The Lincoln Memorial during the Nia White Belt teacher training with Casey Bernstein. If you read my last post, you already know I was one of the white belt trainees…that’s [...]

Over the past two week-ends, I spent 10-12 hours a day in an intensive training to get my white belt in Nia. (That is me at the graduation ceremony in the bottom left corner of the photo.)

We spent the day on Friday preparing contingency plans, notifying clients about the [...]

Did you ever give up on a dream, just because you think you’re too old?

You know, that old negative voice whispering in your ear –

“You’ll never be a dancer, athlete, writer, musician [fill in the blank] at your age! You blew your chance for that a long time ago.”

Why should cats be the only ones with 9 lives to live?

Remember when you were a kid, all the things you dreamed of being when you grew up?

For me, there was my ballerina stage, just so I could get to wear those adorable pink tutus and toe slippers. That was quickly followed by my detective stage, [...]
