Raise your Voz
I am glad you wrote something about Hispanic media [“Spanish lessons,” The Week, January 18]. We appreciate it. It may interest you to know that we have the only Hispanic language magazine in the region, La Voz Hispana de Virginia (The Hispanic Voice of Virginia), which covers Central Virginia (Richmond and the Tri-Cities), Manassas, Arlington, Washington, D.C., Woodbridge, Charlottesville, among other localities, and is available in Wal-Mart as well as agencies, law offices, clinics, public libraries and of course all Hispanic businesses. You can visit our website at www.LaVozHispana.us. All of our content is 100 percent original and quite often exclusive, such as the interview with our new mayor in Richmond, Doug Wilder, and our one-on-one with Indy car owner and racer, Adrian Fernandez.
We have enjoyed the support of Hispanic businesses as well as corporate supporters such as SunTrust, Dominion Virginia Power, Virginia Lottery, Arby’s, The Allen Law Firm, State Farm, Countrywide Mortgage and many others. Everyone is catching on to how important and economically relevant and viable the Hispanic community is.

I am thrilled about your Nia article in C-VILLE [“Dance it! Feel it!” FLOW, January 25]. I’ve been a Nia dancer for two years at ACAC and sometimes at Studio 206. Nia is like a drug—fortunately more harmless. Nia is getting so popular in Charlottesville. The classes are packed with people. You described it so well in your article: Nia is not just movement, but emotional exercises that seem to relieve you from the daily stress and pressure. Students are allowed to make noises, to laugh, to cry—everything is possible. As I know, there are more Nia teachers in Charlottesville than in some big cities. Some students do Nia every day—even elderly people.
I am happy that you wrote this article. There is a real Nia community in this town. Sometimes, such as at New Year’s Eve, we all meet for a big Nia party at Studio 206.
Thank you again for this wonderful article!

CORRECTION
In last week’s FLOW section we incorrectly identified the founder of the Charlottesville Triathlon Club as Tre Johnson, a retired member of the Air Force. He is actually Tre Harris, who is a former member of the Air Force.
