Benefits of Floor-Barre®: Corrects and refines body alignment, strengthens joints, lengthens and strengthens muscles, increases vitality and artistic expression, and is doctor-recommended for injury prevention and rehabilitation.
My pedagogy shifts away from the exclusive, often harmful, physical and cultural stereotypes, and leans towards a wider, more inclusive, joyful landscape. What matters to me is creating a sense of safety and play, grounding us all in the present as we acknowledge the past and look for the potentials of the future. As my research in site-based work reveals, the body is the first site, and that site is alive, intersectional, fluid, flowing and moving, and taking up space in traditional and provocatively new ways all the time. Throughout my 50+ years in dance, I have come to feel the outwardly silent, inwardly buzzing life of dance practice—in a studio, onstage, or down the street—as an exquisite, arduous, spiritual practice of polishing the soul, the character, the body, for moving through life.
