I love these videos. Louise is just wonderful and I feel her workout is perfect for getting your body more balanced. Please put more classes on the website. Thank you again.
excel lent class. watched it through for the 1st time so I could see if this is a class for me. Love all these primal movements. Definitely going to check out your instagram for more workouts.
Love seeing how Bartenieff can be integrated into a Pilates class, I wanna know more about how you use PoTBC! Def followed your Instagram in hopes of that.
Does anyone recognize that this is actually Bartenieff Fundamentals? I studied this as an undergraduate dance major at Indiana University. Great to see it incorporated here but think it's very important to credit the original creators--Irmgard Bartenieff who studied with another great, Rudolf Laban. Bartenieff come to the US from Germany in the 1940's, became a physical therapist and developed the method based on kinesiological functioning. Check out her book "Body movement-Coping with the environment" (1980) to learn more!
Susannah 100% and I totally agree more credit should be given. I actually have a Graduate Laban Certificate in Movement Analysis so it was super clear to me and, tbh, inspired me to make some Bartenieff/Pilates flows/phrases for my own practice.
