The Continued Value of Teaching and Practicing Somatic Dance Online

 

Abstract

This article discusses the benefits of virtual somatic dance classes. Based on my experience with teaching online Nia dance classes during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond, I argue that several key principles of somatic movement translate effectively into online environments, and I make the case for the continued validity of this practice.
