Episode 8: Somatics in the Studio

Somatics describes an approach to learning and a wide range of techniques typically aimed at improving movement function and efficiency. While that’s an apt description, there’s also so much more to somatic work which makes it effective, but also nuanced and hard to explain! In this episode, Alexandra Beller vividly articulates how and why she integrates somatic practices into the dance classes she teaches.
