I met Zena Rommett in 1979 when I was dancing in New York and had an injury that prevented me from dancing. She truly helped me to dance again with her gentle technique. I found that even those seemingly simple exercises done on the floor allowed me to feel that I was still dancing, and getting stronger. I recently had bilateral mastectomies for breast cancer, and started taking Floor-Barre™ again. Even when I was very limited in what I could do immediately after surgery, Zena’s therapeutic technique allowed me to connect with my body and to heal. As physician who cares for
injured dancers, I wanted to be able to share this technique with dancers and with anyone who wants to improve their alignment and strength.
