RPM does not favor one school over another.
Rather, it focuses on "how" steps are executed and "how" the body works. RPM is following a legacy that began 60 years ago which identified subtle motivational movements that premier dancers shared. Ruth Petrinovic has spent a lifetime refining the original discoveries into a very special teaching regimen. We have been her students and are now carrying on her legacy. RPM will continue to evolve as knowledge of the body increases.
Memberships include attendance to a seminar. However, if you need other accommodations, contact us directly to discuss how we may be able to help you.
Once members have attended the Foundational Seminar, they will have access to the digital version at the website. Updated as needed, it will always be available for reference.
Ask a question and one of our Master teachers will respond. See what your peers are asking. Ask private questions as well. View the questions by popularity!
Over time, RPM's library will be filled with specific class vignettes. Showing technique and other lessons as well as comparisons between different body types and the results of RPM training. Other videos, highlighting talented dancers will be featured from time to time. In the library and on the page.
Therapeutic Barre is taught by Ruth Petrinovic and demonstrated by Lily Ojea. Many teachers (and RPM recommends) use the therapeutic barre instead of plies as warm up for the barre exercises.
