Feldenkrais and Dance.

When I first started applying the Feldenkrais Method to Dance, I was doing so mainly as a matter of happenstance. While finishing my 4-year Feldenkrais training, I was living in San Francisco in a house full of Ballet Dancers. They became my first Feldenkrais clients and my practice evolved to include more and more dancers. Now, in Utah, I see fewer and fewer dancers, mainly as a result of my busy schedule and lack of connection to the local dance scene. For some reason, my Feldenkrais clients in Utah tend to all be sufferers of chronic pain.

Anyway, I saw this brief mention of the Feldenkrais Method in an online article about the dance scene in Nova Scotia, Canada:

New alternate conditioning methods, including Pilates, yoga and Feldenkrais are helping dancers optimize their training and dance well into their 40s.

Ok, well, yes, it is an incredibly BRIEF mention of the Feldenkrais Method. The full-text of the article is at the Nova Scotia Chronicle Herald.
