Julia Desmond is a certified Nia teacher and has been training in the Nia Technique since 2002. She has over 30 years of Modern Dance experience (she started young).
With an emphasis in Graham and Limon dance techniques, she taught Modern dance in the 1990s and her study of both Jazz and Modern dance continues to this day.
While in her early 20’s, Julia was profoundly inspired by her 83 year-old dance instructor and the obvious value dance could have on one’s health, vitality, and longevity. “My teacher demonstrated that it was possible to be strong, flexible, and dance for an entire lifetime.”
With that as her own personal goal, Julia strives to bring a real joy of movement to her Nia classes and encourages people to dance no matter what their age or ability!
Castle Rock Nia Fitness Studio welcomes a new teacher.
Sandy Enke, Certified Nia Instructor will be leading our Wednesday evening classes.
“Nia encourages us to not only dance in class but to also learn to dance through life.”
I've been dancing Nia for 10 years, and
dancing through my life for many more
years than that! I guess it really began at
a very young age, with my father swaying
with me to Frank Sinatra in the kitchen,
and dipping me down until my hair
touched the floor & how I giggled!
I hope to bring to my Nia classes a sense
of personal safety, real comfort and vibrant
joy in the body, as well as a deep and
satisfying relationship between our bodies
and music through expressive movement.
Through Nia we can transform our bodies and cell tissue by infusing them with positive conversation, conscious motion, and awareness of the wholeness and the uniqueness of each of our bodies--and this journey into the body is well worth taking.
In addition to teaching Nia classes, I love to travel, cross country and downhill skiing, hiking, reading, writing, meditation, and all kinds of music--especially world music!
I'm looking forward to seeing you in class!
