Dear Dance Instructors, Doctors, Physical Therapists, Dancers and Trainers,
We would like to let you know of a unique opportunity to share Zena Rommett’s, the originator of Floor- Barre®, insights and teachings of the world renowned Floor-Barre® Technique.
The Zena Rommett Floor-Barre Foundation offers Floor-Barre® Certification bi-annually every summer at City Center Studios in New York City, at The Florence Dance Center in Italy.
Zena revolutionized dance training with her gentle, yet highly effective and therapeutic method. The technique utilizes the floor, without the pressure of gravity, to correct and refine body alignment, strengthen joints, as well as address muscular-skeletal functions. As a pioneer in injury prevention and rehabilitation, Zena Rommett’s work is recommended by notable medical practitioners. Long before, the terms ‘mind and body’ were commonplace, Zena developed this harmonious technique where one is guided by careful direction; working from within, focused to apply each meticulous movement correctly. Among the countless Floor-Barre® enthusiasts are Tommy Tune, Patrick Swayze (2009), Judith Jamison, Mercedes Ellington and Phylicia Rashad who states ‘Floor-Barre® is safe and for everyone’.
If after a year that you have been certified, and you decide that you would like to continue teaching Floor- Barre®, the expectation of Floor-Barre® teachers is that they return year after year to reflect, refresh and review their practices, under the guidance of Camille Rommett, and other Floor-Barre® mentors, who travel from all over the world. Priceless footage of Zena teaching teachers will be viewed.
As you can see from the payment schedule below, the fee is reduced over the years to make it more affordable. We will fast-forward the fee structure so that within a reasonable number of years instead of paying into the certification sessions, Floor-Barre® mentors will be compensated.
The Zena Rommett Floor-Barre® Foundation receives requests for Floor-Barre® instructors internationally. We are looking to recruit teachers to improve today’s quality of ballet and body refinement training. Certified teachers will have their own page on the Floor-Barre® site with their contact information.
Please let me know if you have any specific questions. Enrollment is limited.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Camille Rommett Executive Director
