"I had the pleasure to come across the beautiful work of Clare Guss-West at the IADMS Conference, Seattle. The information and modalities that she has gathered to help with neural flexibility as well as assuring healthy and sensible physical engagement for dancers of all ages is presented in a open hearted and practical manner. One deceptively simple imaginary exercise introduced has proven to be an invigorating warm up in the ballet classroom. At IADMS Washington Conference she shared her insights into the way in which Qi Gong plays into dance. She has integrated her considerable understandings and skills in ways that the dancers can become more connected to their breath and increase their understanding of the origins of their movements.” - Stephanie Saland - Former professional dancer NYCB, Dance Educator
