As a dancer, I believe that these techniques and alignment ideologies provide valuable information, which I can use to improve my movement. Yey, I can’t wait for my class to start! :]Nicolas Ervinhttp://www.fitness360.net/personal-training-2/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415039431326089985.post-50979375607963110682012-05-27T06:22:24.729-07:002012-05-27T06:22:24.729-07:00Floor barre was around as early as 1976 in NYC.

I'm not a runner, but I'm sure that it is great for runners too, although you might not want to work on hip rotation, but rather stick to parallel legs for the strength that runners need.<br />On another note - The Bolshoi Academy Summer Intensive is looking for people to run and fundraise for them in the ING NYC Marathon. Any ideas on the best way to find five runners? Thanks for your help!

I'd actually forgotten all about it until I took a Ballet Body class at my local Crunch last week and we did about 15 minutes of floor barre at the end. It felt so great, and also I felt so bad at it.Kimrahttp://anotherdumbadventure.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415039431326089985.post-60964351728856739312012-02-23T11:15:55.444-08:002012-02-23T11:15:55.444-08:00My sister-in-law offers this at her dance studio. ...My sister-in-law offers this at her dance studio.
