BodiBalance Dance / English

Sponsored by BodiBalance Dance and Rennert, BodiBalance Dance/English combines the study of dance movement and American English in New York City. The program consists of a combination of 8 hours per week of BodiBalance training with dance classes of your choice at New York City dance schools, and tickets to 2 performances. This unique class is for serious dancers with at least two years of formal dance training, preferably in ballet, jazz or modern dance. The first week, you focus on the unique BodiBalance, Floor Warm Up and Movement Principles. In the following weeks, you apply these BodyBalance tools to your dancing in ballet, modern, jazz and improvisation.

As you engage in this work, you gain physical awareness of your body's design for movement that dramatically changes your dancing. Carol Fonda is a world-class, professional dancer who created BodiBalance especially for those who want to improve their dancing. Students attend English classes 20 hours per week where they will improve listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. Then 8 hours per week, you will receive both individual coaching in BodiBalance techniques and attend dance classes of your choice at a number of New York City dance schools. You will also attend 2 performances with your dance classmates. By the end of the program, you will be dancing with more mental focus and less physical effort. Practice English while you study your passion—Dance.
