“Jackie Hand was my dance instructor at Emory University during my freshman year. She also taught a Laban Movement Analysis course that I took in NYC. Jackie is a wonderfully thorough teacher. She is a stickler for form and moving safely and properly. Her passion for teaching radiates through her and it is hard not to learn from her." —Stephanie Wilkins, Artistic Director/Resident Choreographer for Columbia Repertory Dance Company, Columbia, SC Adjunct Dance/Pilates Professor Columbia College, SC Founder/Instructor KayLynn Pilates, West Columbia, SC
Educating Educators
Learn to observe subtle SPECIFICS in the PROCESS of movement
For dance teachers, choreographers, acting and music teachers, directors athletic coaches and others.
You know you are an EXCELLENT observer of movement in your profession, but would you like to benefit your students even more? Discover what you have been missing in your movement observation by experiencing Laban-based movement training.
Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies (LBMS) has something to teach us all about our own movement observations, choices and applications and how these affect our teaching:
Deepen your observation skills, assessment and correction of your students' movement.
Learn to effectively adjust your communication style to reach each individual student.
Broaden your and your students movement understanding and choices.
Enhance your students’ movement abilities
Further reduce the risk of injury to you and your students through Laban and anatomical movement perspectives.
What you learn in these movement classes, based upon sound principals of anatomy and kinesiology, is immediately applicable to your work in performance, rehearsal, practice, and in the game and classroom.
Workshops/classes are conducted where needed-In the studio, theatre, in the orchestra pit, on the court or golf course, on the field, in the pool, in the ice rink.
If your profession involves education through movement, the Laban work can enhance and prolong your movement career and the movement life of your students.
