I guess that means a deep relationship of music to choreography -- not only the foot practicing the beat! I didn't realize that Nia went so deeply with the music. Maybe that is one of the reasons that we students have so much fun. love, Ruth Thank You!

I didn’t realize that Nia went so deeply with the music. Maybe that is one of the reasons that we students have so much fun.

It's a system of being in relationship with music, listening and mapping its landscapes so we can invite music in as an active participant in our choreography and dance. Carlos initially developed the 8BC System in the early years of Nia as a way to show Debbie how the music -- the rhythm, the beat, the sections, the silence and the sound -- relate to how we dance. Now all Nia teachers learn this practice as a way to consciously blend movement and music to create the Nia magic. The 8BC System is part of Nia Principle #3.
