Each month we enjoy the opportunity to feature a teacher within our community. This month, March, we are featuring Colleen Vandeven.
Blue Belt and Free dance certified, and an Ageless Grace educator, Colleen has been teaching mainly from her home “studio" in Brantford, Ontario,Canada.
Soon, Colleen will take a hiatus. For now we get to enjoy her sweet spirit and wonderful teaching in this Special Sunday Teacher Feature experience.
“There is a wonderment available in life which connects me to both the joys and sorrows of being human. I have been practicing the Nia technique for many years.It defines a healing way and has been a joy to impart as well. For me it encompasses true fitness and I love sharing movement whilst at the front of an actual class or Zoom monitor; ”
Colleen is sharing her rendition of the routine Rise, an experience that is dear to her heart. This routine is about Unity. Indeed, CommUNITY and more variations on that same theme are enriching. Focus is on the axes of the body with an Intention to celebrate systemic movement.
“Cyberspace has a real ability to unify and uplift those of us gathered to dance. I am so grateful for the example of many diverse teachers along my way as I feel the planes of movement poetry within and around me .Oh how rich is the vocabulary in this body designing to connect to minds ,emotions and spirits. ”
Colleen, both as a student and facilitator, recognizes the conditioning and conscious lifestyle practice, through Nia technique, that has rewarded her with stamina and a sense of balance ,shaping & dancing with her shifting times.
We hope you’ll consider joining us Sunday, March 10, 1pm.
