Learn ballet through an internal sense of the body rather than simply imitating the teacher. This workshop will be geared to dancers who are tired of faking their way through ballet and for teachers seeking new information for themselves and their students. We will begin the day with a somatic exploration and then apply it to ballet technique. All questions will be addressed in a supportive and caring atmosphere. Instead of simply ‘trying harder,’ this workshop will utilize embodied anatomy from Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen and the Feldenkrais® method and to address habits that interfere with ease and higher performance. Become more comfortable in class and learn how to make ballet fit your body in order to access a freer technique.
