Body Breath Balance (BBB) is progressive and stimulating for the body and mind; a dance body conditioning technique that you can enjoy as you gain agility, strength, and flexibility as well as increasing our bodily perception of expression.
Experience every natural movement and permutation of the body’s movement repertoire from head to toe with music providing rhythm and harmony in movement and breath.
The holistic benefits of dance body conditioning to music bring musicality and freedom to your movement.
​
Body Breath Balance is drawn from Margaret Morris Movement (MMM)... a dance training method that was created in 1910 by the English dancer and physiotherapist Margaret Morris.
She created her method for the dance-like development of the body, which is built up in eleven stages of increasing complexity.
Underlining each exercise is the importance of the lungs, the abdomen, and feet,​
​
…‘their efficient functioning is unquestionably of the first importance for success in any form of physical activity whatsoever.’ Margaret Morris
Excerpt from - Basic Physical Training by Margaret Morris
​
MMM's Greek positions are key to strengthening not only opposition movements but the whole core strength... the angle from shoulder to hip is twisted and contracted for added strength, stability, coordination, and balance, limbering the spine in its process.
​
...and of course, all this for the joy of movement and expression itself, before you know it you are doing an exercise and then you are dancing, it really is wonderful to experience.

Body Breath Balance Dance
Beginner / Intermediary Class
Physical and energetic
​
Suited to those who wish to be slightly more challenged with complex variations and challenging yet doable balances and expressive movements.
This class teaches the foundations of all movement, and how we can use the body as an expressive tool. The exercise becomes a dance, we don't dance to exercise initially.
We do touch on some small choreographed pieces by using the exercises, so no experience in dance is necessary at all, but also is very welcomed.
With a great variety of music of differing rhythms and tempos, encouraging musicality, expression, confidence & freedom in movement & a strong and supple body​​
​
Conscious relaxation in movement is of equal importance bringing a clarity and confidence to what the body & the breath needs to do with each articulation the body has.

Body Breath Balance (BBB) is progressive and stimulating for the body and mind; a body conditioning technique that you can enjoy as you gain agility, strength, and flexibility.
As you become accustomed to the exercises, they imprint in your muscle memory, meaning the posture shall naturally improve; helping to keep strong and flexible whilst constantly strengthening the pelvic floor, abdominal muscles and lower back.
