Q: I am a ballet teacher. Which DVD would be best to help me teach Floor-Barre® to my students?
A: Our DVDs show WHAT Zena teachers and allow Zena's students to continue the work while on tour or for those living outside New York. If you want to learn HOW to teach Floor-Barre®, as originated by Zena, you must be certified. Once certified the DVDs can assist you in teaching the technique.
Q: I currently offer Yoga and Pilates classes, and would like to become certified in Floor-Barre® to incorporate Floor-Barre® into my sessions. Is this okay?
A: Zena prefers to certify teachers who intend to teach the Floor-Barre® as developed by her over the past four decades. The seminars provide a unique opportunity to share in Zena's insights, and to experience Floor-Barre® training in its purest form. Floor-Barre® is a USA Trademarked and Registered Technique and protected under law. It is imperative to Zena and the Board of Directors that the technique is taught in its purity.
Q: Which Floor-Barre® exercises can help with bowlegs?
A: Floor-Barre® is a holistic approach to body wellness emphasizing the importance of the whole; rather than analysis or dissection of it's parts. Floor-Barre® concentrates on the whole body sequentially correcting alignment and strengthening joints and muscles, thus elemental physical problems and ailments are addressed.
Q: Can I really understand the Technique enough in the four day seminar to teach it?
A: The four day training is an intensive INTRODUCTION designed by Zena to train her teachers. After the four day seminar, you can certainly introduce the work but if you are going to work with advance students than you should come back to re-certify. The more you return the deeper understanding you gain from Zena. To encourage you to do so we reduce the fee for returning trainee.
Q: I am an adult beginner. Which DVD would be best for me?
A: Series VI. We have a new DVD out this year for non-dancers, so EVERYONE can enjoy the benefits of Floor-Barre®.

Q: Does Zena have a book on Floor-Barre®?
A: Yes, it is coming out in 2013. It is completed. I am looking into publishers.
