Nia classes at Rejuvenation Station


Nia Classes as part of Rejuvenation Station at Frozen River Film Festival with Jacque Paulsen and Mary Lee Eischen at the Integrated Wellness Center, room 127.

Saturday 1:00pm Jacque Paulsen
Sunday 1:00pm Mary Lee Eischen



Jacque has been dancing and moving her whole life.  Moving in her body has been a calling; and seems to take new shape and form as she dances through life.  Dancing in studios and in troupes has been part of her history from being a backup dancer for a hip hop group out of Detroit called Slice to dancing with a dance company out of Rockford, Illinois called Midwest Movement.  As a young dancer, she was asked to dance in ways that stressed and injured her strong body. At one point she suffered a shoulder injury that did not allow her to raise her arm.

  
When she began dancing the Nia Technique, the joy of movement was a new concept for her.  The Nia Technique encouraged people to listen to their bodies and to move in ways for pleasure instead of pain.  An appreciation and a love for her body began to grow.
