Abstract
The purpose of this study is to define the sensory-based, fusion-fitness dance form of martial arts, Nia, and show how it leads to health, wellness and better physical fitness. In my research, I conducted 21 interviews to show what experiences others have had and how Nia has created positive lifestyle changes related to exercise and well-being as well as reviewed the pertinent literature. The study examined how Nia and other forms of dance foster weight reduction, augment mental powers, and increase mobility. The final stages of the study provide information about marketing strategies and promotional ideas for fitness instructors.
