But movement became more than just fun for me. It became my path to self-love, connection, and healing throughout all phases of my life. I found Joy that could be called utterly TRANSFORMATIVE (and life philosophies that I still live by today) in the Nia Technique, where I learned to dance with my WHOLE body (emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual), letting movement carry emotion, laughter, tears, and release. I also learned how to “teach a class” in front of people, offer verbal cues for upcoming moves, and engage the minds and emotions of my students to bring them on a movement journey with me. Over the years, I’ve studied and taught many forms of dance — from partner dances like Swing, Blues, Latin, and Fusion, to Ecstatic Dance and Somatic Movement Meditation. For over a decade, I was an integral part of hosting dance events and helping build the partner dance cene in Nelson, creating spaces where connection and community could meet on the dance floor. My hope with SpiritFire Dance is that you discover a safe, joyful, liberating space in your body and your life. To be with what’s ALIVE in you, express what’s real, and move in ways that feel true and pleasurable. For you to connect with your Inner Being. Your divine soul - which is dancing right here with you. ;) With love, Kristina-Sophia (Krissi) Founder, SpiritFire Dance https://www.spiritfiredance.com/danceclasses daily 0.75 2026-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693c8883c5174b11e248d894/fb4dc587-a7d7-4efc-b104-fa6008676ad3/Winter+Dance+Series+2026+SpiritFire.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693c8883c5174b11e248d894/5afe00dd-b110-4c56-a861-ced83c488a0f/Dance+Series+April+2025.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693c8883c5174b11e248d894/c5160b02-9501-47a5-b90b-efca0e80644d/Dance+Series+October+2025.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693c8883c5174b11e248d894/db4f26cb-7f24-449e-805d-1d79f0575f5d/Awake+Your+Passion+MAY+Series+2024.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693c8883c5174b11e248d894/5f42f7a8-a28b-4d08-a8ec-76beb3615765/Dance+Series+Sept%2BOct+2024.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693c8883c5174b11e248d894/6d65f3a9-fc9b-43f6-a625-6fa9a1836bda/Dancn%27Style.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/693c8883c5174b11e248d894/e9e4461e-dd6d-4959-b9d0-7917dfc0eafd/638601288_1275870821061233_7999573734614008671_n.jpg
