Klein Technique™

The purpose of Klein Technique™ is education, not on the superficial level of mimicking form, but on a profoundly deep level of understanding the full use of the body as an integral whole to maximize full function of each individual's unique movement potential.

”Klein Technique™ is a process of discovery and rediscovery. It is ongoing and continual. It requires constant blending of theoretical information and experiential practice. It requires time. Like nature it is ordered and infinite in its discovery.”
Susan T. Klein

Morning classes for dancers/movers:

The morning classes focus on the use of connections, the balancing of the forces and the sequencing mechanism through our bodies in movement and prepare us for the rehearsals for the day.

Workshops for dancers/movers:

During a three-five day workshop we will work with our anatomy and the function of our muscles and bones, the body, and its relation to stillness and movement. We will define and re-define ideas and concepts specific to Klein Technique™ such as; initiation, direction, connections, thrust and counter-thrust, sequencing, balance, process and understanding. There will be time for practice as well as theory while working on a bodily felt understanding and the endless possibilities our bodies offer. Each class and workshop is put together in relation to the participants in the group. There is time for theory and practice, process and change.

“Klein TechniqueTM is a process. It is a process of learning and healing. It is a process of change. Jannine is constantly sharing and growing in this never-ending process of learning, teaching, and healing. Jannine has the understanding and ability to see and nurture this ongoing process of learning in her students as she continues to grow herself. Her classes are thoughtful, dynamic, and fun.”
