This technique welcomes the artist to find his/her unique vocabulary and to surpass himself/herself. Cati, also concentrates on developing “The actor” within the “Dancer” with a very organic and natural way, using “Stanislavski technique” Sense memory. Her Classical floor barre is an essential component for developing ballet technique; emphasizing proper alignment, mind and body connection, safe work on external rotation, deep stretch and strengthening; a great tool for rehabilitation after injury. Floor barre can be taken as a separate conditioning class or perfect before taking a ballet lesson right after.
