Am I at NIA class or a Phish show??

I am trying to find more creative ways to work out as I really can't stand to run and I never find the gym very amusing..and why should being fit be a punishment?? I feel like I have all this energy and creativity in my body that can't get out through monotnous workouts. After talking to a co-worker (also a former NIA instructor) I decided to take the Saturday morning class..
So what is NIA? "Nia is an expressive movement practice that uses The Body's Way to achieve physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual fitness and well-being." So let me explain... I walk into a class with a bunch of strangers and no instruction. They basically tell me to let lose and rock out. Next thing I know I feel like I am at a Phish show where everyone is f**** up and dancing like crazy while completely unaware of their sourroundings.... I'm not f*** up and feeling out of place so naturally I'm a little nervous, but after deciding I didn't care if I looked like an idiot... I let go.
I reached I new head space of freedom beyond just fitness. We whirled around and danced like little kids. It felt really good to let your body be expressive as we are constantly controlling every move it makes. It was really cool, and an amazing workout, and I just wanted to let all of you who are bored with your workout to give it a try.
