Remarkable for improving movement quality and comfort, Feldenkrais lessons help dancers train in a way that is healthy for the body, and can extend careers threatened by injury. Despite its benefits, many dancers are unable to study Feldenkrais due to a lack of qualified trainers in their area, or due to the cost of lessons. The six IntelliDANCE episodes that have aired so far are drawing regular listeners from over 20 countries, and I have received positive feedback from grateful dancers and dance teachers who have tuned in to the program. Check out my website, www.agerighttraining.com. I have just produced three 45 minute DVDs called Comfort Zone, Feeling Younger Workout based on the Feldenkrais Method (TM). I think we should talk. My phone is on the website.

Thanks for your great advise. I want to comment on this because it is true that live lessons are so important! You can’t beat the experience of studying with a great teacher, and having the interaction that is only possible in a live class setting. I am hoping that the IntelliDANCE Podcast will motivate listeners to seek out further training, and inspire dance schools to develop working relationships with practitioners who can provide programs for them. You make an excellent point about learning with respect to change of “muscular and postural habits.” One of the things that I love about Feldenkrais® is how simple and gentle the lessons are, and how you can begin to feel the process of change almost immediately. And, unlike most other forms of movement training where correct form is essential, Feldenkrais® is internally focused. So, although I cannot be there in person to monitor everyone listening to the Podcast, I know that it is still possible for them to benefit from a pre-recorded lesson, because all they have to do is pay attention to what and how they are feeling in order to experience improvement.

His idea was very much related to yours. His ideablob user name is "Misnomer Dance" If you cant reach him through the blob, try google searching him... I know he has at least one blog and a website.

I too believe that collegiate programs should offer Feldenkrais, but have found that the ones that are interested in it are the ones already doing it. Anyone have ideas for how best to propose new course ideas to department chairs?

At present, I have a blog, also called IntelliDANCE, and encourage listeners to post their comments or questions there. So far this has not generated much activity. Anyone have suggestions for increasing interactivity?

Why not try to identify as many bloggers that write about the subject...dance, body work, etc...and reach out to all of them directly. The key is to be familiar with their blog and not to ****/mass email them. Find the ones that you think would actually be interested in what you're doing and help them frame it in a way that would make for a cool post. Good luck.
