Zena Rommett Floor Barre®

Course with Joseph P. Cooksey

This method combines principles of classical ballet with the anatomical basis for movement and goes back to the American-Italian dancer and teacher Zena Rommett. The training follows an economical use of muscles and offers a foundation for every type of dance movement. Floor-Barre™ allows dancers to develop and perfect technique more quickly, helping to improve movement alignment, lengthen muscles and strengthen joints, and achieve the greatest possible stretch. Increasing body tension and the number of active years of dancing are further benefits of training. Last but not least, Floor-Barre™ serves to rehabilitate and prevent injuries. Joseph P. Cooksey is a certified teacher of the Zena Rommett Floor-Barre Technique® and Master Teacher in their annual certifications.
