The Nia White Belt Level 1 teaching provides trainees with the physical sensation of Nia. The foundation of the training consist of 13 principles laid systematically by Debbie Rosas and Carlos Rosas. Each session will have a specific focus that explores the Science--Art & Craft of each principle in an experiential and cognitive way. Nia classes are taught each day along with Freedance session. The training provides the foundation to then obtain the Nia license, work with the continuing education videos and then to begin to teach Nia.
