Dancer’s Testimonial
BodiBalance has been an amazing asset to my dancing! It has opened up my joints, lengthened my muscles and spine, and I am much stronger in my core than I have ever been! I try to do most of the exercises before any dance class I take because it helps me work with my body.., and not against it. It is wonderful!”
~ Lauren Bratton-Kearns, Carol Fonda & Co.
BodiBalance for Dancers
BodiBalanceTM is the harmonious coordination of your body in its every movement. This unique and innovative movement training restores the natural integration of all the systems that empower you to move and express yourself.
Using images, ideas and sensations, Carol Fonda makes you aware of the connection between these systems and helps you establish movement habits that improve your facility as a dancer. She gives you tools you can use for self-coaching, even as you are dancing.
In the process of a BodiBalance workshop, you will:
- Increase your balance, coordination, strength, flexibility, body awareness.
- Enhance your mental focus, confidence and freedom of self expression.
- Expand your stage presence to fill any performance space.
BodiBalanceTM makes you aware of the strong integration of body, mind and emotions. You establish healthy movement habits and improve your facility as a performer. It’s the ultimate mind and body connection!
BodiBalance for Actors
“Free your body and you free your emotions”
Increase coordination, confidence, balance, strength & flexibility Enhance your mental focus and freedom of self expression. Strengthen your stage presence.
For Actors, Carol adapts her BodiBalanceTM Floor Warmup to incorporate sound and movement. Using simple standing exercises and movement combinations, she encourages you to connect speech and movement as a single effort. Sometimes through an improvisational format. Sometimes with simple choreographed movement in space.
BodiBalance for Musicians
“Your body is the intermediary between your Soul and your Sound!”
Carol Fonda’s BodiBalanceTM Floor WarmUp releases tension and frees you from any unnecessary bodily tension, including those from performance anxiety.
Singers
“Free your body and you free your voice”
Feel your voice vibrate throughout the whole body. Feel your voice fill the entire performance space. Carol Fonda’s BodiBalanceTM Floor Warmup helps singers establish an awareness of how energy can be focused to support healthy sound and healthy movement with a unified effort.
Carol then works within a playful improvisational format to enhance your rhythm & phrasing skills and develop a keener awareness of space & silent communication.
Incorporating sounding into the physical exercises, you increase awareness of how the entire body sings the music you make.
Instrumentalists
“Free your body and embrace your instrument!”
For instrumentalists, Carol simplifies the BodiBalanceTM Floor Warm-Up to release tension from long practice sessions. Using breath, energy and creative visualization, you find a strong physical connection between your body’s center and its extremities (including fingers and hands).
Then, within a series of playful movement games and improvisations (with and without your instrument), Carol helps you experience rhythm & phrasing with your whole body. Improvising simple movement with other musicians, you develop a keener awareness of space & silent communication.
You begin to understand how playing with full body coordination serves both musicianship and longevity.
