Applying Somatics to Dance and Dance Education
BodyMind Dancing™
BodyMind Dancing™ is a unique synthesis of some of the finest forms of somatic education: the language of human movement - Laban Movement Analysis and Bartenieff Fundamentals which teach movement efficiency and Body-Mind Centering® which helps to bring consciousness to all parts of the body. As a whole, BodyMind Dancing™ is an anatomically informed dance experience that integrates technical skill building exercises with improvisation. Each student has an experience that both invites introspection and awareness of self while meeting the best practices in fitness.
