What is Nia?

The Nia Technique™ incorporates elements of the dance arts, martial arts and healing arts for a diverse and stimulating cardiovascular, aerobic workout that is challenging yet easy to follow. Students improve strength, flexibility, mobility, and stability for greater functioning in our everyday lives.

What is Klezmer dance?

Klezmer dance is Jewish folk dancing done as a group, often in a circle or line, to Eastern-European music. Beginners are welcome. Michele brings the community together for dance that celebrates being alive every fourth Sunday of the month.

What is Mindful Movement?

Mindful Movement™, created by Naomi Milne, is a stretch class and work-out designed to activate deep core awareness and full body strength. Using both linear and spiraling motion, mat exercises flow from one to the next, focusing on alignment and fluid movement. Judy Green's class is a gentle workout designed for all-age adults. As a supplement or complement to Nia classes, the slower motion of Mindful Movement deepens our connection to our physical bodies. Students experience centering and energizing, relaxation and strengthening, and joy in movement. Wednesdays at 9:30a.m.

*Individual Class Fees*

In addition to offering our Sway class card, each teacher at Sway works independently and will set her own fee schedule should you choose to attend only one teacher's classes. Contact each teacher regarding those rates.
