CLASS DESCRIPTION

Ambere Rogers teaches the Simonson Technique, developed by Lynn Simonson. It is a comprehensive and anatomically- based technique that prepares the body to dance with awareness and safety. Ambere’s ‘hands on’ approach is taught with physical and verbal guidance, in a nurturing and positive environment. Her positive energy is reflected throughout the class, as she focuses the students’ body and mind to work together, towards stretch, strength & healthy alignment. Her choreography is supported by strong rhythmical music that will inspire you to move.
