Zena Rommett Floor-Barre®

Course with Joseph P. Cooksey

This method combines principles of the classic ballet with the anatomical foundations for movement and goes back to the American-Italian dancer and lecturer Zena Rommett. The training pursues an economic muscle use and offers a foundation for any kind of dance movement. Floor-Barre ™ enables faster development and perfection of the technology of dancers, helps to improve the movement orientation, extend muscle and to strengthen joints and to achieve the greatest possible stretch. The increase in body tension and the number of active dance years are further advantages of training. Last but not least, Floor-Barre ™ serves rehabilitation and prevention of injuries. Joseph P. Cooksey is a certified teacher for the ZENA Rommett Floor-Barre Technik® and Master Teacher in their annual certifications.
