April 1 – 3 Debbie Stewart-Rosas and Kevin VerEecke offered a wonderful FAB and Choreography intensive course. On Sunday we had a great deal of fun at lunch… Check out our Nia Dance Break on the streets of Toronto.
Hello dear Nia family,
I just came across this most exquisite YouTube video/picture display by someone with the screen name of “skookumjam” on YouTube (who identifies herself as Anne Marie at the end of the video).
It’s set to Annie Lennox’s “You are a Shining Light” and I feel it is a tribute to ALL of us who are igniting Nia in our places of practice all around our beautiful country!
Please take 4:16 to watch it — -you will notice it features many of our Canadian dancers, including ME!
“…You arrive and the night is alive
Yeah, you are a shining light
Yeah, you light up my life
We made a connection, a full chemical reaction
Brought by dark divine intervention
An epiphany, you burn so pretty
Yeah, you are a shining light
You are a force, you are a constant source
Yeah, you are a shining light
Incandescent into the darkest night
Yeah, you are shining light”
DON’T EVER FORGET that you are the conduit of joy, YOU transmit your passion for Nia through your dance. That WILL shine through and inspire your students to “choose” joy.
Thank you for being my community

Dr. Brené Brown is a researcher professor at the University of Houston, Graduate College of Social Work, where she has spent the past ten years studying a concept that she calls Wholeheartedness, posing the questions: How do we engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness? How do we cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection that we need to embrace our imperfections and to recognize that we are enough — that we are worthy of love, belonging and joy? Brené is the author of I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn’t): Telling the Truth About Perfectionism, Inadequacy, and Power (2007) and the forthcoming books, The Gifts of Imperfection (2010) and Wholehearted: Spiritual Adventures in Falling Apart, Growing Up, and Finding Joy ( 2011).
