“The Franklin Method has proved invaluable to our students at the Juilliard School in NYC for the past several years. Learning how to use mental imagery and functional anatomy for dance augments our training program beautifully as it is clear, precise, and useful in every way for any dancer. The students have found it revelatory!”
