Jin Shin Jyutsu promotes relaxing and harmonizing specific disharmonies that can arise in the body from any illnesses, living out of harmful emotions, from environmental effects, from genetic/DNA effects, from stress, or for simply wishing to actively maintain health, harmony, and well being! I am available to give Jin Shin Jyutsu sessions for a hour for adults and teenagers. For children under the age of ten years old, I give sessions for 30 minutes sessions plus 15 minutes of Self Help.

Nicole Elyce Barnes

Co-Director for New Horizons Latin Dance Socials and Community Event Organizer

Nicole Elyce Barnes is a Louisville, Kentucky native. She began Latin dance in late 2013. After quickly falling in love with the Latin dance scene in 2015, she was asked to join a local group of Rueda de Casino performers. They are “The Ville Casineras,” an all-female team that choreographs and performs routines around Louisville and the surrounding Midwest. Currently, she and a few of her teammates are working towards becoming certified in the MCC curriculum which includes the theory and history of Casino dancing, methodology, and technique.

Nicole is committed to the long-term goal of making connections beyond the dance floor; helping to cultivate a community of support, positivity, acceptance, and the love of dance.

Nicole and Rachel Bucio Grote partnered together in June of 2018 to bring together their love of dance, and supporting the communities of Louisville to bring “New” Horizons Latin Dance Social. These socials include a featured Instructor that teaches a hour Latin dance lesson, followed by many hours of amazing social dancing!

If you have any desire to get more connected to Louisville’s Latin Dance community, feel free to reach out to Nicole, she can help you get there!
