This newly revised and expanded set of two DVDs from Anne Green Gilbert
presents the BrainDance- an exercise that moves through eight fundamental
movement patterns that wire the central nervous system in the first year of life.
The BrainDance offers benefits such as improved mood, reduced stress, and
increased alertness and concentration. It can be used at home, at school, or in
the office, as well as in the dance studio. The BrainDance is beneficial for brain
reorganization, body connectivity/alignment, a centering body/brain warm-up,
or to wake-up or calm-down. Disc 1 features Anne Green Gilbert
and her students (toddlers through seniors) demonstrating eight basic variations
of the BrainDance designed for people of different ages and levels of mobility,
including
standing, sitting in chairs, lying on the floor, and traveling. Simple rhythm and
movement concepts that can be used in conjunction with the BrainDance are
also shown.Disc 2 expands
on the basic BrainDance structure to show how it may be incorporated into a
variety of contexts including choreography, barre work, floor work, and folk
dancing. In addition Anne Green Gilbert and her students demonstrate how to
incorporate a variety of props into the BrainDance (including scarves,
stretchy bands, and streamers), as well as simple songs and rhymes for use with
younger children.
The 8-page booklet that accompanies the DVDs includes information
about brain development and the rationale behind the BrainDance, a
detailed description of each of its components, suggested variations, dance
concepts, and recommended additional resources.2 DVDs, 205 minutes.
