Bartenieff Fundamentalstm: Hand – Scapula Relationship and its connection to the core.
Bartenieff Fundamental™ Hand -Scapula relationship addresses the intricate timings of the shoulder girdle with the phrasing of the torso. This workshop will explore the anatomy and mechanics of the hand-scapula relationship and its proper function to the torso.
Objectives
- What is stabilization of shoulder: its myths and facts
- Understand anatomy of Hand scapula relationship
- Scapular humeral rhythm
- How the improved shoulder function enhances the core.

Anatomy Dances: Call to Legs and Distal Relationship to Core
Call to Legs: Distal Relationship to Core is a workshop exploring the connections of the distal: foot and ankle mechanics to the leg and the core. We are addressing balancing the foot and ankle muscles that influences our entire alignment. Our ankles influence our foot, hip and core mechanics. When the Distal relationship is working correctly, the core immediately works deeper.
OBJECTIVES: To understand the connections of distal to the core. How to improve function of the legs to bring in new core connections using Pilates Repertory. Underlying good function is dynamic alignment of the spine.
- Improving ankle function
- Understand how the bones of the legs and pelvis move
- What is stabilization of legs and hips: its myths and facts
- Understanding the importance of the posterior leg muscles
- Improving the coordination of legs to core during the workout
- How the improved leg relationships enhances the core

Anatomy Dances: Core is 3D.
Biotensegrity, Laban’s Space Harmony- 3D and Bartenieff Fundamentalstm are new maps of how the body moves in space:developing better patterns of moving the spine
Bartenieff Fundamentalstm and Laban’s Space Harmony is a phenomenal approach how the spine moves in space and one’s expression. Both also addresses how the body moves three dimensionally whether it is simple walking to complex spiral movements such as tai chi. This workshop will bring examples into fitness, yoga, dance and pilates.
Objective:
- to understand how the spine moves and efficiently give the correct support
- Why is neutral important
- How are cues enhancing or hurting dynamic alignment
- How does the spine move differently in use of space for example ballet, karate and tai chi
- Understanding tensegrity and enhancing our physicality.

Anatomy Dances: Dynamic Stability is an new Call Core to Arms
This workshop goes deeper into shoulder mechanics. Open and closed chains movements require different coordination of the shoulder girdle and core. How is your plank pose different and/or the same from a arm circle in open space. Dynamic stability of the shoulder girdle is a dance with the hand, scapula and the torso. Coordination is key for correct mobility and strength. Past cues really have locked down the movements of the scapula and the torso. Myths of shoulder stability are creating more problems. In this workshop we will learn new ways to train the nervous system about new connections.
Objectives:
- Anatomy of the shoulder girdle
- Muscular connection of shoulder girdle and torso
- Coordination of hand – scapula to the head – tail connection
- Closed chain vs open chain
- Understanding Hand-scapula to core

Anatomy Dances : Upper body in Gait
How the spine moves in gait
June 12, 2021
Anatomy Dances : Lower body in Gait
How the legs move in gait
We take walking for granted. When we lose the ability to walk comfortably, we lose our freedom to do things. Poor posture, lack of strength and mobility and diminishing balance skills affect our gait. This workshop is an introduction to how the body moves in gait and how as trainers we can plan a workout that encourages better walking skills.
Objective:
- Learn observation skills about gait
- Address muscular imbalances in gait observation
- Improve walking skills with muscular training and balance skills
- Address modifications needed for seniors;
- Anatomy of foot, knee, hip, spine and arms in relationship to gait
Section I: Creating Better Movement Patterns for Gait
Posture is key in walking. Poor posture can affect the mobility of our hips and legs in walking. This section will improve how the upper body moves in an ideal healthy walk. Lesson plans will evolve around how to increase mobility, coordination, strength and balance.
Section II: Gait the essence of our being
Here we will go deeper into the coordination of our body to walk. We will look at the coordination of first of the lower body. Observation skills and program development will be learned to help the improve gait skills.

Anatomy Dances: Freeing the ribs to enhance the Biotensegrity of the Core
The ribs are flexible. They are not rigid like we see of the skeletons that we see in the class room. Each rib has a joint into the breastbone and spine except for the floating ribs. We are going to understand the biomechanics of the ribs and it’s affects on breathing and movement.
Objectives:
- Anatomy of the ribs
- Importance of breath
- How the ribs move
- Applications to Pilates and movement loves

Anatomy Dances : Hippiness and the legs
The intricate design to be able to make level changes
Child development from birth, crawling, sitting, standing and walking is the process of making changes at the hips and legs in coordination with the torso. As we grow older, we forget about these important coordinations of the the legs, pelvis and torso. Bartenieff Fundamentals(™) addresses these lost coordinations and mobilizes. Applications will be made to pilates, yoga and our movement loves.
Objectives:
- Identify the movements of the pelvic floor, leg in the hip sockets and the torso
- Improve sequencing of thigh, hip and spine movement for level changes
- Address tight structures
