    Class Description:



    The Zena Rommett Floor-Barre® Technique (ZRFB) uses ballet vocabulary in order to safely, gently and effectively train dancers at any level. ZRFB focuses on proper alignment and build strength, flexibility, consistency and endurance in the dancer. As attributed from the Zena Rommett Floor-Barre® foundation, Floor- Barre is a holistic approach to body wellness emphasizing the importance of the whole, rather than analysis or dissection of its parts. Floor-Barre concentrates on the whole body, sequentially correcting alignment and strengthening joints and muscles, thus fundamental physical problems and ailments are addressed. 

    Dina Denis teaches Zena Rommett Floor-Barre® Technique as a way to correct and preserve proper body alignment and promote overall wellness. Awareness and applications of proper alignment can prevent injuries, promote healthful living and increase physical and mental energy. Dina’s gentle class is helpful to people of all ages and physical abilities. Through her ZRFB class, students will gain muscular strength and coordination that supports healthy physical alignment and flexibility that promotes safe range of motion for all the body’s joints. Dina has experience and positive results with the ZRFB technique as a way to educate and strengthen dancers, non-dancers and those rehabilitating from injuries.
