March Madness@Najlas Dance Renewal Reconnection & Rhythm

March is almost here and I am noticing and feeling the signs! The air is softer, promises of spring, longer days and the gentle quiet awaking in my body!

First off, March is a great time for renewal through movement while we shake off and shed the heaviness of winter and reconnecting to joy while remembering that our bodies are not something to fix but to celebrate!

This month we move with more energy and intention in our bodies. Moving together and always moving with heart!

March is the perfect time to:

  • Reconnect to your body, hips & core
  • Improve balance & posture
  • Boost your energy through movement
  • Releasing tension and stress that gets stored in the body
  • Rebuilding strength
  • To Feel better and lighter while having fun

Our classes are designed for adult beginners or those returning to movement who are looking for a supportive and judgment free space. No experience is needed. You do not have to be flexible.

All you need to do is just begin and getting started is the hardest step!

Finally; Bellydance will not only give you confidence from the inside out! It will help with your core stability, Feminine strength, emotional release and self expression without words.

Belly dance is NOT about performance but more about being presence. And you can start at any age! This is what I love!
