Welcome to BODY BLOG-Make A Point (MAP)!

I decided to start a line of T-shirts to capture the dialogue I’ve been having with my students during class. T’s are easier than writing a book, memoir or technical manual, and more fun. The language in dance class is intimate, of the moment, an exchange between teacher and student to further concepts in technique and theory. The same is true for any athletic endeavor, weight training, boxing, fencing, swimming, running, etc.…all endeavors embrace the understanding of quality in form and function for movement, an art form.

Most of the sayings are “of the moment” and refer to a specific need in developing and building movement. For instance, the deportment, so necessary in dance; think horizontal pressure of the core, then the vertical length is a natural conclusion…”Horizontal Support - Vertical Expression”. There’s more, but I’m sharing one T-shirt at a time!

So…a new line in dance T’s, urban style and technique infused. T’s written by a dancer speaking to the dance world! T’s written by a mover speaking to a moving world!
