A Happy New Year, everyone!
You deserve all the best: May all your wishes come true in 2021!
Since ancient times, dances have been performed as prayer and festival rituals that connect the invisible and visible worlds. In Japan, there is a beautiful word "kotodama" (言魂) from the idea that "the soul dwells in words", but before the idea of kotodama (言魂) existed, in the era when letters did not exist, people were telling everything by putting souls in shape of their movement.
The dance of prayer connects the heavens and the earth like ancient people, prays through the dancing body, respects oneself, loves everything, and heals.
In 2020, COVID-19 engulfed the entire globe in darkness. It's as if the god of the sun was hiding somewhere ...
Have you heard of the Japanese myth that the god of the sun "Amateras" hidden in Iwato (岩戸) and the entire world being dark, but she came out of Iwato by the dance of another goddess and peace was restored.. It is one of the famous stories of ancient Japanese mythology and is depicted in Kojiki (古事記), the Japan's records of ancient matters.
Why don't we dance while unraveling this story, which can be said to be the root of Kagura (神楽) the Japanese sacred dance and music.
The theme of this term in our dance is, "prayer".
Together with everyone who chose to "dance" in the present age of fighting difficulties, we will deepen the light of hope and gratitude that will be born from it by incorporating prayerful expressions as well as entertainment elements in our dance.
By the time our choreography is completed, the light will come back from Iwato (岩戸) and we should be welcoming a bright spring together!
The music we use this time is SAKURA SAKURA 's composRIN's RANKA - 乱華. We will use a silk fan veils, so please have it ready. I think the color should be white or red.
We will continue the offline class (hybrid class) that is currently being held at the Harmony Studio of Raffles Town Club, but in addition to the every Wednesday evening class (6pm-9pm), Thursday morning class (10am-1pm) will also be resurrected. The class that has been requested a lot from before is finally restarting!
Since this is a hybrid class of online and offline, we have a special promotion for NADIA ONLINE students who pays a monthly fee. NADIA ONLINE students can take as many classes of the day as they like with one ticket. (Usually, 3 tickets are required for 3 classes)
Those who wish to attend only offline are not eligible for online benefits (video tutorial distribution, participation in Hafla, Q&A in Whatsapp chat, hybrid promotion, etc.), but new recruitment will be resumed, so please let us know if you wish to join us. The fee will be $ 250 (admission fee is $ 50) for 10 hours, which is the same as before.
Reservation will be required since its up 10 people in the studio.
In addition, online lessons have been very popular, and we will continue to take as many online lessons as you like for a fixed monthly fee this year. A 60-minute class is held three times a day, four times a week. Enjoy as many classes as you like from the 48 classes a month! Monthly fee is, only at $150, if you take 2 months package, $125 per each month.
It is held four times a week, but even so, there are people who are extremely busy with work, have small children, and live on the other side of the globe (!), So it may be difficult for some people to take the course. .. so, Nadia will create the video tutorial and send you every week. She explains the routines used for choreography, explain them in two languages, Japanese and English, and distribute them free of charge.
Videos are not on sales.
As mentioned above, Wednesday night classes will be held at the Raffles Town Club. At the same time, you can also join the class online.
2 minutes walk from MRT "STEVENS" station. It is a very convenient place, about 10 minutes by bus from Orchard Road. Upon admission, we will check your body temperature. The studio has been renovated during the CB, and it's a clean studio with thorough ventilation and cleaning, and let's dance freely with the new flooring!
You can use it in the changing room, shower room, sauna, break lounge, cafeteria, etc. There is usually a $ 50 admission fee for the first time only, but now NADIA ONLINE lesson students can enjoy the waver of the admission fee! :)
There are two types of tickets. $ 250 (10 hours) or $ 30 (1 hour). It will generate 7% GST. Valid for 3 months from the date of purchase. Tickets purchased before CB have a frozen expiration date, so please tell us your name at the reception and continue using it!
If you are not taking this basic class, the way you enter the choreography class is completely different. The reason why you started to feel "Oh! My body moves!" is, because you have built up a solid foundation. Continuation is power. Why don't you create a "dancer body" and at the same time aim to strengthen your core and improve your basal metabolism?

YOGA is the Sanskrit word for "connection" and refers to the state where the mind, body and soul are connected. It combines breathing, posture, and meditation to relieve tension in the body and mind, and stabilise and ease the mind.
Yoga poses which calls "Asanas" have the effect of correcting body distortions, improving flexibility and physical fitness, etc., but combining relaxed breathing and meditation enhances concentration and a gentle and stable mental state.
The effects of breathing on the body and mind are so deep. The breathing method, which is also the basis of yoga, increases vitality and concentration by controlling breathing, and connects the mind and body.
It also has the effect that oxygen is sent to each cell and activated from inside the body. By expanding and contracting muscles and deep breathing, the lymph flow and blood circulation are improved, and the internal organs are activated, your body refreshed and comfortable, but it also helps prevent skin aging.
By the end of each lesson, it is impressive that the participants' faces look so refresh and sharp.
