We are happy to announce the next workshop in the series of the Dance Science Net program:

Ballet Body Logic master class with its founder Annemari Autere

BalletBodyLogic, created by Annemari Autere, is an innovative approach to movement analysis. Her vision of the muscular system consisting of inside and outside muscles where technique is taken care of by the deeper laying res muscle fibers, offers a unique approach to mastering the dancers’ instrument – the body. Based on basic movement patterns and the study of the fundamental principles of verticality and alignment BalletBodyLogic allows each dancer to approach an ideal skeletal alignment and thus effortlessly control various dance techniques. To cite Mabel E. Todd, “Why hold our bony parts together when we can let them sit or hang?”
These four sessions will focus on specific themes from the BalletBodyLogic movement analysis system, such as
  • session 1: Letting balance take care of itself (theme class)
  • session 2: Stretching and strengthening the red muscle fibers and Playing with balance (somatic exploration)
  • session 3: From Two sides of the turnout coin to Jumping with the spine (theme class)
  • session 4: The internal movement of the fascia and Playing with eternal lines of energy and spirals in spine, legs, and arms in pliés, battement tendus, ronds de jambes… (somatic exploration)
  • session 5: Ballet Body Logic class for students (minimum age 7+ yrs)
Although the BalletBodyLogic system was initiated to offer support mainly to ballet dancers and teachers, the system can be a useful tool for anyone who is interested in movement and somatic education as its basic principles can be applied to other movement disciplines such as playing an instrument !
Beginners are welcome and each topic will be addressed independently on each of the sessions.
