Nia Movement Form #4 - Jazz

Posted: Oct 9, 11:32 PM

DANCE ART: Jazz

Catch Phrase: Fun Showmanship and Expression

In Your Nia Practice: Nia moves inspired by Jazz encourage moving and having fun, stepping into the state of showmanship and learning to be spontaneous. Jazz encourages self-expression while balancing muscle strength, flexibility, agility, stability, and mobility. Jazz makes it possible to move the whole body quickly while isolating a joint or body part. A Nia Jazz experience encourages symmetry while isolating individual parts. Jazz moves such as isolations, shakes, shimmy, and hip bumps make the Nia experience fun and sensual.

Jazz Teaches You: Intrinsic Action. Isolations. Playing with Attention. Attitude. Hot Expression. Sexy Attitude. Sassy. See Me. Look at Me Dance. I’m the Best. Joint Action. Small Gestures. Precise Line. Willful. No Holding Back.
