The Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies-LIMS® now offers Bartenieff, an innovative  Program. Bartenieff is an experiential approach to somatic movement education focusing on achieving robust 3-D movement in space, the Bartenieff Fundamentals movement sequences and the role of the instructor as an expert observer of movement patterning.  In this in-depth program students will learn the basic principles of and experience the transformative power of Bartenieff, developed by Physical Therapist Irmgard Bartenieff (1900-1981). Applying Bartenieff to one’s field of application provides a global perspective not found in other approaches to movement training.

All instructors in the Bartenieff program are LIMS® Certified Movement Analysts. As a professional and academic community CMAs teach in hundreds of college and university dance and athletics programs, fitness settings and physical rehabilitation practices world-wide, and many are prolifically published within the health and fitness realm. The system has been rigorously developed by Bartenieff-trained professionals since 1978, and until now exclusively taught within LIMS® Certification Program in Laban Movement Studies.

The landmark Bartenieff Program began October 2008 and is taught in an intensive monthly weekend format in New York City. A supervisory period follows the classroom portion of this course for students wishing to teach. Join us in this highly specialized program and bring a more refined perspective to your movement practice, teaching and coaching.
