Ami Shulman teaches a highly dynamic class that integrates the floor as an essential component for exploring full body connectivity and proprioceptive awareness. Her teachings focus on the efficiency and clarity of the movement, which liberates the form, allowing for a more refined and articulated physical expression. Her approach expands the interpretive possibilities of the performer by promoting the individual’s movement potential.
