Each class focuses on one movement principle, which is explored through improvisation, warm-up, center combinations, and across the floor phrase work.

Rudolf Laban was a visionary, teacher and theoretician, who created a method for analyzing movement called Laban Movement Analysis (LMA). He uncovered the basic principles of movement and influenced the fields of dance, theater, dance/movement therapy, and visual art. Irmgard Bartenieff was a dancer, physical therapist, and pioneer of dance/movement therapy. She applied his theories to her own work, creating a physical reeducation method known as Bartenieff Fundamentals (BF). LMA/BF are practiced throughout the world within various dance practices and can be applied to all forms of movement.
