BIO

Make Every Step Count

My name is Dana Punzo, and I am filled-to-the-brim with everything I am about to announce. The Nia Technique has given my body a true home. I am inviting you to this special, comfy place to help you experience what I have gained in recent years by practicing the Nia Technique. I have been interested in movement and dance my whole life and have received both White and Blue belts in Nia Technique. I am certified to teach Nia Free Dance, as well. At present, I am also licensed as a Sacred Livelihood Teacher in Nia Technique. I am presently acquiring additional Nia Technique training to enhance my teaching skills.

NIA

Dance the Body's Way

 This is the key that unlocks our minds, bodies, and spirits to encompass freedom within, which creates a ripple effect throughout our bodies and expands positive energy creating true freedom in our Life Force both inside and out!

Nia Technique was developed by Debbie and Carlos Rosa over 35 years ago. Their journey led them to create a fusion of martial arts: Tae Kwon Do, Tai Chi, and Aikido. They added to the mix Jazz, Modern Dance, and Isadora Duncan.  And to round out the whole body, mind, and spirit experience, they added the healing arts: Yoga, Feldenkrais, and the Alexander Technique.

These nine movement forms are incorporated into the Classic Nia class routines in 5 to 20 minute intervals lasting about an hour. They are designed to follow "The Body's Way" which is the science of observing the physical design of the body and using this as a map to dictate proper functions and use, while at the same time allowing flexibility. Recently, many Nia classes are being offered in 5 to 20 minute intervals, which allows students to incorporate the Nia Technique into their lives throughout the day.

TESTIMONIALS

Home: Reviews

I experienced Dana’s expertise in both her yoga class as well as a NIA class she facilitated as part of a writer’s retreat I offered. In both situations Dana created an environment where anyone at any level could feel good about themselves. It was fun, energizing, relaxing and a workout all at the same time. Highly recommend!
