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
