ami1436 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 I've done a search, probably with the wrong words, but I can't find the post that I remember. One of the teachers, I believe Ms. Leigh, mentioned that there is a 15-minute warm-up method that she teaches her students in case one needs to rehearse/perform without a proper class/barre beforehand. I'm curious - is there a name for this method? For a variety of reasons, I think it would be a very good tool to have! Thanks in advance, Ami Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 It's called "therapeutic barre" and was a development by Jo Anna Kneeland when she was teaching in Florida, and then later when she became the principal teacher at Harkness House for Ballet Arts in NYC. Quote Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted October 12, 2005 Administrators Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 And it's really about 6-7 minutes, and not intended to replace barre. It's a pre-barre, but it's thorough enough that one can do a shorter barre and get warmed up quicker. The problem is that it really must be taught by someone, it can't be learned online. Sorry.

ami1436 Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Many thanks, Ms. Leigh and Mr. Johnson. I recognise that it cannot be taught online, but wanted to know what to inquire about! Many thanks. Quote Link to comment
