‘Nia Tidal Wave 2000’ to take place July 26 - Aug. 14 

 The “Nia Tidal Wave 2000,” an event within the Nia world, will take place July 26 through Aug. 14. This event has been created to increase awareness of Nia, a non-impact aerobic form of systematic exercise, and generate more enthusiasm about Nia.

Nia is based on the most ancient of movement arts, from Tai Chi (self-defense and meditation), to Aikido (holds, locks, energy spiraling), to Tae Kwon Do, to yoga. It also combines the elements of ballet, modern dance, ethnic dance and jazz.

During the event special opportunities offered include: 

  • A Nia as Prayer/Spiritual Connection class 
  • Health educational/“through movement we find health” materials 
  • Postcards to Oprah Winfrey 
  • Sharing Nia stories and experiences
Nia class schedule for July and August: July 22, 9:30 a.m.; July 27, 5:30 p.m.; Aug. 3, 5:30 p.m.; Aug. 10, 5:30 p.m.; Aug. 17, 5:30 p.m.; Aug. 24, 5:30 p.m.; and Aug. 31, 5:30 p.m. All classes are held at MUSC Wellness Center, Studio A.
