Teacher Training Testimonials “Lori Belilove trains beautiful Duncan dancers—any dancer serious about teaching and performing Isadora Duncan’s works should consider this certification program. My training under Lori’s mentorship has led me to teaching in a range of contexts, including private studios, festival workshops, and university residencies. As a performance coach, Lori is detailed and exacting, facilitating dancers’ discovery of nuance in musicality and qualities of weight, and encouraging dancers to experience freedom within the sculptural form of Duncan’s dances.” — Meg Brooker, MFA, is Assistant Professor & Director of Dance at Middle Tennessee State University and Artistic Director of Duncan Dance South, a founding organizer of Isadora Duncan International Symposium, and a former company dancer with Lori Belilove & Company. She holds an Advanced Certification in Duncan Technique and Repertory, under the mentorship of Lori Belilove. “Prior to this experience I only knew about Isadora in the context of a dance history lesson, and the process of not only uncovering this rich history but seeing it and feeling it fully alive and breathing in today’s world has been immensely rewarding. Belilove is a masterful educator and brings incredible knowledge and sensitivity to her classes. Her approach to Duncan is inquisitive and inviting, and the total experience has reaffirmed for me that both movement and education flourish in a joyous, creative setting.” – Becky Allen, MFA, MA in Dance Education, is a company dancer with Lori Belilove & The Isadora Duncan Dance Company and works for The Isadora Duncan Dance Foundation, managing Educational Programming in addition to assisting and teaching Duncan dance classes. She is also a Teaching Artist with New York City Ballet and founder of LatticeWorks Dance Collective. |
