It’s the Year of the Dragon and it’s time to dance with the Dragon!

The 10th February is Chinese New Year and we are entering the Year of the Dragon. The Dragon is a born master of ceremonies - of fireworks, parties, festivals, holidays. And the Wood Dragon is the king of dramatic parties. Let's celebrate this feisty and fiery energy and welcome the new year with a Dragon Dance.

Dragon is a classic Nia Routine, and is enduringly popular. It has powerful and unique dragon imagery and Asian visuals and music. This body of work will be led by Black Belt Nia teacher Fiona Glenn, and is guaranteed to set you up for the New Year and have you feeling energised, satisfied and at the same time calm and whole.

This is for Every Body - of all ages and fitness levels. New to Nia dancers and experienced students are welcome.

Feel free to wear any exercise or comfortable clothing that makes you feel good and free to move. Wearing something red on Chinese New Year is considered to be very good luck, and optional of course.

Nia is designed to be practised barefoot. If there are physical reasons not to practise barefoot, soft sole shoes can be worn.
