Niki Kleinberger- Embody: The Movement
Embody: the movement is a dance class for everyone, whether you’ve danced your whole life or never stepped foot in a studio. This experience combines somatic movement with your eyes closed and guided improvisation with eyes open, inviting you to explore how your body feels rather than how it looks. Mirrors are covered, there’s no choreography to learn, and we move all around the room so there’s truly no “front” or “back”, just a space for authentic movement. You’ll leave feeling alive, embodied, and connected to the joy of moving in your own skin.
Niki is a dancer, choreographer, and movement educator with a BA in Dance Performance from Tulane University. She has danced professionally across New Orleans, Chicago, Dubai, and Belgium, including with Sima Dance Company in Dubai. Based in New Orleans, Niki serves as studio manager at Spyre Center while teaching her original somatic movement class format, Embody. Her teaching prioritizes authentic movement, proper body mechanics, and helping students listen to their bodies. Her goal is to have every student leave class stronger and genuinely empowered.
