Om klassen:

Laura has a healthful approach to ballet class that is rejuvenating, healing, repairing and uplifting. The objective is that the dancer begins to feel better in body, mind and spirit, encouraging growth and change toward homeostasis or excellent health within dance.

In Laura’s ballet class, she encourages exploration of energetic patterns in the body and positive thoughts in the mind. The technique of Ballet Bernasconi stems from principles of the Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, the Ilan Lev Method, Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis, hatha yoga, sports psychology and martial arts. Laura focuses on individual needs of each student with support, empathy, love and mudita, or vicarious joy.
