Thank you everyone for your continued support this year.
We would like to express our deepest condolences to those who lost their lives by Noto Peninsula Earthquake that occurred on January 1st, with its epicenter in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture.We would also like to express our deepest sympathies to all those affected.
I would also like to express my deep respect to those who are working hard to provide relief to disaster victims and support the reconstruction of the affected areas.
On New Year's Day, January 1st, when the earthquake occurred, Nadia was just returning to her parents' home in Kanazawa, and was frightened by the magnitude 7 tremor, tsunami warning, and successive aftershocks, but luckily I was in the center of Kanazawa, where I am staying. Well, the damage was very minimal, only breaking a couple of plates at home. Thank you very much for your concern from all over the country and overseas.
In the disaster-stricken areas, the situation continues to grow in anxiety due to a series of aftershocks and cold weather, but we pray for everyone's safety and a speedy recovery.
As I thought during the Great East Japan Earthquake 2011, I can understand why everyone wants to refrain from doing anything at a time like this, but I believe that running the economy as usual is the shortest path to recovery. Especially in the entertainment industry, people tend to think, ``At times like this?'', but ``At times like this,'' I want to look to the future and do the ``work that brings smiles'' that only entertainment can do. I hope that everyone will manage the economy properly, protect themselves and their families, and those who can afford to do so by contributing to the recovery through donations and other means.
Noto Peninsula Earthquake: The Japanese Red Cross Society
Over hundreds of millions of years, the earth's surface has been deformed and formed by natural phenomena such as tectonic movements, volcanic activity, water flows, and wind, and the earth will continue to change endlessly.
I live my life with respect and admiration for nature, especially the nature of my home country, Japan, but this earthquake made me realize that its beauty is inextricably linked to its fear. We want to be grateful for the miracle and destiny that allows us to live in the midst of the earth's grand scale of time and nature, and to cherish the 'now' moment.
Early in the new year, there are many unsettling news reports, but the world is still moving. I'm sure I'll realize this even more when I return to Singapore, but I want to experience Japan a little more before I go home, so this week I'm making a short stop in Yamanashi Prefecture.
On January 9th (Tuesday), we will be streaming our New Year's special project "Yoga from Mt. Fuji'' online.
I will visit Japan's best power spot and do yoga in real time from the wonderful inn where Nadia stays. Would you like to do some yoga while saying New Year's greetings and talking about your resolutions?
#TravelYoga
4th in the series!
Last year, I visited Borneo in the East China Sea, Istanbul in Turkey, and the Northern Alps in Japan, and shared with everyone online the blissful time I had while doing yoga while feeling the energy of each season and land. This year's 2024 travel yoga will start from Mt. Fuji, with the intention of bringing good luck.
In 2024, we plan to hold a traveling yoga series multiple times from all over the world.
New Year's special project "Yoga from Mt. Fuji"
Participants : January NADIA ONLINE members
Now. Winter break is over, and the first term of 2024 is finally starting. The first work of 2024 starts with Gaston Chaade's super cool mejance!
I feel like dancing brightly and energetically in the new year. With the aim of relieving the lack of exercise during the winter, we will use every inch of our bodies to perform belly dance choreography. We don't use a veil.
I really want to do the basics too!
All of a sudden, let'S get it started improving our physical ability from January 2024!
The intro is cool, and Nadia choreographs and teaches the song "The Sword" which is modern, cool, and full of Gaston's flair, and has plenty of sound sources such as Zaa and Iraki.
At the same time as the choreography, let's continue this year to ensure a "dancing body'' by cross-training the basics of belly dance and yoga.
Would you like to engage in dance activities with more than just the purpose of dancing? I believe that being young is not about age, but about motivation and passion for life. Let's enjoy the life we live as women beautifully.
This year too, please be really forward-looking lol
Please follow me!
The first term of 2024 is scheduled to start on January 9th (tue) and end on March 5th (mon). Total 8 weeks.
The choreography for one song will be completed.
If dancing and learning choreography are the work of creating a look with makeup, yoga is the work of adjusting the condition of your skin and creating a foundation. I believe that by preparing your body through yoga, you can create a body that looks beautiful even without make-up and without makeup to look good during choreography, which is a very important process.
\ NADIA ONLINE yoga is for women only /
Of course, you don't have to be a belly dancer to participate lol
Some people only take yoga classes too!
Even if you don't want to be a dancer, are you suffering from age-related problems such as recently gaining weight due to lack of exercise, falling often due to lack of muscle strength, worrying about swelling and sagging skin, feeling unmotivated and getting tired easily? Maybe menopause? Even if you feel like giving up for a moment, you may be able to solve the problem by channeling and circulating your body's energy.
Why not start off with some relaxing Wednesday night yoga?
Wednesday night yoga has a menu centered on healing, and everyone works hard to create a "beautiful body" before bed. After a hard day's work, we carefully prepare your body from the tips of your feet, drain the lymph, and improve the circulation of energy throughout the body, leading to a rich sleep. You should feel better the next morning.
It's only for women, so you can participate in your pajamas without makeup. Please participate at your own pace.
Additionally, lunchtime yoga classes are held three times a week on Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays. This 60-minute intensive class will help you build a body that can dance. It's only available online, and it's a live broadcast with Nadia instructing you, so unlike free videos on YouTube and other sites, if you slack off, you'll be criticized, lol, and your name will be called right away, giving you an incredible sense of tension, motivation, and stimulation. With this, you can continue! Should be!! lol ;)
First of all, try continuing for 2 months (1 term). Your body will be completely different. Honestly, it makes you feel younger!!! :)
From the "chest opening'' pose to improve expressiveness, to the "axis-setting'' pose to stabilize the axis of the body, to the sadist abdominal muscles... it's a full course to satisfy you! :) lol.
Please come and join us!!
Are there any reasons why you have given up on starting, such as not having a teacher near you that you want to learn from? There are no belly dance classes in the first place?
“NADIA ONLINE on ZOOM” is a popular lesson that started during the coronavirus pandemic. You are free to turn on/off the screen and you are free to join or leave midway, so if you are embarrassed to be seen dancing, you can turn off the screen, or on the other hand, if you want to grow by dancing with screen on, you can dance at your own pace. You can participate in the lesson with this stance.
All of the lessons we offer are professionally taught by Nadia. She has traveled to Turkey and Egypt, the home of belly dance, many times to train and is currently performing and teaching in various cities in Asia. She had won many awards in competitions, and in recent years we have a wealth of experience as judges, so we are able to provide accurate advice and guidance.
In addition, lesson fees are also low, which can only be achieved online. You can take the course for a monthly fee of $150 (¥12,500) / 1 month, or as a package for $250 (¥20,000) / 2 months.
It is a term system, and you will master the choreography of one song over two months (8 weeks) per term! You can take as many lessons as you like, 4 days a week, 3 classes a day, and 40 classes a month. You can attend as many classes as you like without making a reservation, including basic classes, choreography classes, and yoga classes. You will also receive an instructional video once a week so that you can learn the choreography even if you miss a lesson.
We also hold a wonderful hafla event where we can share what we have learned.
2022-2023 "TOKYO HAFLA" has been held three times and has been well received each time. We want to hold it in 2024 with an even more festival feel, and we already have a lot of ideas. Please add TOKYO HAFLA, scheduled to be held in December, to one of your goal stages this year.
In 2023, the members will produce the top three winners in an international competition in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In early summer, members continued to produce top 3 prize winners at the WORLD BELLYDANCE FESTIVAL and ASIA GLOBAL BELLYDANCE COMPETITION held in Singapore. In the fall, the members won first place in the group category at the international belly dance festival BGBD FESTIVAL held in Taiwan.
In the spring of 2023, we will launch a new project, ``SAKURA PROJECT'', and will dedicate the Japanese oriental work ``SAKURA SAKURA'' at Ishiura Shrine, the oldest shrine in Kanazawa, Nadia's hometown, and explore the realm of entertainment together with participating members. We shared the world we have transcended and took a step to the next stage. This project is scheduled to continue beyond 2024.
I am proud that the expanding circle of learning in this community fosters individual strength, allows students to play an active role across the ocean, and fosters mental strength and globalism that can be used overseas.
This year, in 2024, we have already decided to perform in Melbourne (Australia) in the spring and Istanbul (Turkey) in the summer.
Would you like to work with Nadia to expand your field of activity across the ocean? We will take you anywhere, so if you are passionate, please join us! Please follow me♪
We will inform you separately about the details of the events scheduled to appear this year.
Well, last year's belly dance basics and choreography lessons at a studio in Singapore were very popular as well. We plan to continue holding this event this year as well.
1 stop by bus from Orchard Road, centre of Singapore! Although we are located in the city, we hold face-to-face lessons every week in a beautiful studio with a view of the pool and surrounded by greenery, as if you have stepped into a quiet forest.
2 classes every Friday and Saturday at 11am.
It will be 60 minutes of basics and 60 minutes of choreography. It is a monthly fee system, and for one term of $380 (8 weeks), in addition to basic classes and choreography classes at the studio, you can also take unlimited online lessons (basic, choreography, yoga).
In other words, if you live in Singapore and are taking online classes, you can come to the studio class every week for an unprecedented fee of just $130 on top of your monthly fee (8 weeks)! !
The choreography will be the same as online, and audio and videos will also be distributed weekly. In other words, during the week when you are unable to come to the studio, you will be able to catch up online or via video.
If you would like a trial lesson or drop-in, you can join a 60-minute class for $35. (Only if there is space/reservation required)
This is a beautiful forest-like studio surrounded by the greenery around Orchard.
We will contact all applicants with directions.
In addition, studio classes will be held with a minimum of 5 people, and will be held in small groups with a maximum of 7 people.
With 20 years of experience, over 500 performances in Singapore and other parts of Asia, and bilingual Japanese/English guidance from Nadia, a professional with a proven track record of instructing over 1,000 people regardless of nationality. We are holding a lesson. He has extensive experience as a judge in international competitions, so please feel free to ask him anything. We can provide a wide range of guidance for everyone from beginners to professionals, from competition preparation to health management, teacher training, and teaching consulting. Please contact us.
