SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Nyesha MekaDayz Hamil wants to share more of her Jamaican culture in addition to what her family does through the 11 Hauz restaurant at Newpark. To do so, the Parkite offers two dancehall classes in Salt Lake City. The first is called Jamaican Burn, which is held at 6 p.m. every Wednesday at Baile Dance Fitness. The second, Dancehall Foundation, starts at 7 p.m. every Thursday at the Millenium Dance Complex at Trolley Square. “Both classes are designed to build confidence and empower the students to be comfortable with their bodies,” Hamil said. “They will learn to move in ways they’ve never moved before.” The classes differ in their approaches, according to Hamil. “Jamaican Burn is a dancehall workout class and its more aerobic,” she said. “(Students) learn dancehall movement in a repeated process.” Students, which rage in age from 16 to 60, can learn to appreciate their bodies and that no one dances the same way, Hamil said. “I want them to have fun and not care about judging or being judged,” she said. “Many people are afraid of our sexual self, whether we are a TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Mirrors reflect Parkite Nyesha MekaDayz Hamil as she takes students of her Jamaican Burn workout class through some classic dancehall moves at Baile Dance Fitness Studio in Salt Lake City. woman, man or trans, or whether we are gay, straight or just don’t know what we are.” This class is also great for older dancers, Hamil said. “When women get up in age and have children people have this misconception that they shouldn’t be Please see Dancehall, C-4 Dancehall Foundation Jamaican Burn When: 7 p.m. every Thursday Where: Millenium Dance Complex, 602 E. 600 South in Trolley Square Web: mdcslc.com/class-schedule and facebook.com/nyesha.hamil Instagram: @mekadayz When: 6 p.m. every Wednesday Where: Baile Dance Fitness Studio, 2030 S. 900 East, Salt Lake City Web: bailestudio.com and facebook.com/nyesha.hamil Instagram: @mekadayz serving only the best to Park City since 1992 r e s t a u r a n t g r o u p earthganic eggs by the dozen AVAILABLE DAILy WHILE SUPPLIES LAST AT 435.647.2906 1750 Iron Horse Drive G R A P PA • C H I M AYO • WA H S O G H I D OT T I’ S • S U S H I B LU E • B I L LY B L A N CO ’ S WI N DY R I D G E C A F É • WI N DY R I D G E B A KE R Y windyridgebakery.com w w w. b w re s t a u r a nt s . c o m |
