Floor Barre

In this class, you will learn a series of exercises and stretches for dancers developed by ballerinas Tricia Kaye and Alexandra Baldina. The series is performed lying down on the floor—hence the name “Floor Barre”—to minimize the effects of gravity on the body. Specifically designed to achieve the following, this series is a great tool for health:


* Length in the spine (Decompression)

* Space in the hips (Decompression)

* Gentle enough for any body at any age

* Gentle and gradual changes (rather than forcing the body into harsh positions)

* Increased awareness of your body

* Improved interoception (awareness of your internal spatial relationships)


This class uses a specialized movement vocabulary (Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies) designed to teach you proprioception, or where you are in space, and how to execute the series safely and aligned. As a foundation for healthy movement in everyday life, these exercises can be done daily in as little as 10 minutes, or more slowly over 45 minutes.
