Nia Movement Form #6 - Duncan

DANCE ART: Duncan
Catch Phrase: Free Spirited Honest Movement
In Your Nia Practice: Nia moves inspired by Duncan Dance seduce you to move in a free spirited way that integrates both graceful and beautiful full-body expression. A Nia Duncan Dance experience encourages unrestricted, uninhibited flow of emotion and motion. Attention to up and out balances the downward pull of gravity, which helps to keep the posture of the body youthfully aligned and better balanced. Leg strength is built through the integration of relevé and déscendé. Lyrical momentum and pauses create a moving conversation between rising to the sky and surrendering back down to the floor. Calf and leg muscles develop a shape through the gentle mechanics of opening up the front of the ankle, the groin and lengthening the torso on rising motions. Hands and arms are used to convey feeling and emotion, your connection to the dance of “now”.
