The Leap Day Jam at Midtown Moves was a true celebration of the joy of movement with elements from Nia, Body Groove, and Primal Feat led by seven different teachers. As participants arrived each was asked to pick from a selection of beautiful hand made glass pendants crafted by studio owner Nikki Jump, each pendant was embossed with an iridescent frog symbolizing Leap Day. By 9:00am the dance floor was packed as Nia teacher Christy Cantrell welcomed everyone, and shared the vision that Midtown Moves is projecting by providing a space where people can come together to experience many types of mind, body, spirit classes that enhance wellness, happiness, and build a sense of community. Rhythm, sound, and music, pulsed through the room for a full hour and a half of expressive movement. A group from the Fillmore ReGen Yoga and Movement studio decided to car pool to Ventura, cancelling a Nia class at their own studio so all could attend the Leap Day Jam. That was a great example of how like minded communities support each other. The music was soul stirring with songs ranging from electronic, pop, rock, world, and soundtracks. Sometimes movers were synchronized to instructor led moves, and at other times moved more freely while guided by the instructor as they explored connecting moves based on how the music made them feel. All in all it was a great Leap Day morning full of collective joy. If you attended, thank you, and if you missed it and it sounds like fun, be sure to check out one or more of our classes, and stay tuned for more fun events.
