“As a Nia trainer, Randee is very creative and detailed in her presentation!  If you get a chance, take the opportunity to learn from her!!”
--Carolyn Bourland; White belt Nia enthusiast

"I have been learning from Randee for four years. She has inspired me to dance and nurture my body into a strong and artful ally. Her passion and dedication is evident in the care and skill she shows her class as we step in together during the first song. You know a teacher is really good when you can dance with your eyes closed and still “see her” spirit in your mind. Dancing in Randee's beautiful studio is like eating your favorite dish, sipping your favorite wine or relaxing in a romantic spot. Taking the White belt at her lovely studio filled with art, warmth and nature was the highlight of my Nia Journey. She is an authentic teacher; her energy and experience in Nia made the intensive so fantastic!"

“Having taken many dance classes I can quickly recognize a strong talented teacher and Randee is definitely that.  She is very professional, creates a creative safe place for Nia dancing then charges it with energy and a sense of fun and freedom of self expression.  Her studio is fantastic, a joy to visit with a great sound system. I also found this strong dynamic teacher to be very kind and approachable before and after class. You're going to love her!"

--Kris Theriault;  Sammamish, WA

“One of the wonderful things about Nia is that the instructor brings their unique focus to bear on the excellent basic material. Randee Fox has a very healing presence and energy.  I feel safe in her class in a way that I do not always experience, and I feel that is due to her setting the intention both verbally and nonverbally for her class to be an expressive non-judgmental place. Randee exudes groundedness and calm; yet brings out a lot of energy in the imaginative cues she uses. I was fortunate to experience Randee in my White Belt training as an instructor, as well as in a class when she visited Santa Monica. I would (and did) travel miles to dance with Randee, and recommend you do too.”

“Randee is a gifted and energetic teacher who inspires freedom of exploration through movement. I love how Randee weaves empowerment into her fun and invigorating classes. The Nia for Equestrians classes combine my passions for horses and dance. I feel connected with myself and ready to connect joyfully with my horse after Randee's inspiring classes.”

“Thanks to Randee Fox and to Nia, I feel as if I’m getting younger, healthier, stronger, and happier. Randee brings a love and enthusiasm to this practice that makes it fun. I look forward to every class and the benefits that I have reaped are obvious—I see it in other areas of my life as well—my stamina and agility as well as my attitude.  I feel so blessed and grateful to have Randee as my teacher—she is truly a master teacher!”

“I had the honor of meeting Randee just after she danced out of her white belt experience years ago. Her passion, skill, extensive training, and experience has provided hundreds of students with an infusion of Nia’s #1 Principle: The Joy of Movement. Randee not only understands the gifts and benefits of Nia, but she has a remarkable ability to offer those gifts to each student who attends her classes. Randee embodies Nia through every cell of her body. What a treasure!”

"It was such a sensational (truly) delight doing part of my White Belt with Randee Fox. She is imaginative, resourceful and inspiring. Her unique way of approaching the practice cracks open my brain so bits of light can manifest into movement. I thank her for that experience." 

--Suzanne Cunliffe, Port Townsend, WA

"Randee Fox, my Nia teacher for over three years, makes every class a new adventure.  She calls up so many elements of a good workout for body, emotions and spirit--- guiding visualizations, engaging our spirit and spunk, encouraging creativity in free dance, creating community, and more.  I always regret it if I miss even one class!"

--Marti Dimock, Nia White Belt; Bellevue, WA

"Randee creates a welcoming environment to learn, grow, play and flow with the music.  She does a wonderful job modeling basic moves and then builds on them. Starting slower to warm up she then increases the pace, allowing and encouraging all to work at their fitness level and to listen to what feels best for their body.  Serious, silly, swirly, Cha Cha, fun!"
