Purchase College Conservatory of Dance - Sean McLeod

American Choreographer Sean McLeod and now Executive Producer of the New York Dance Festival and the Carmen Da LaVallade Award for Dance, teaches a McLeod Technique Master Class at SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Dance. McLeod Technique: Through Sean's movement study, he acknowledged dance could be an absolute place of destruction for a woman's self image and ability to see herself as anything other than a work in progress, fighting her body for a perfection that honestly would never come.

McLeod Dance Technique was primarily created to help women learn to appreciate themselves again. McLeod Technique showed women their value, and then locked it into their bodies and souls through movement. The results were immediately noticeable. No matter how many times the dancers made mistakes, they stopped self-loathing and started to learn how to fail with smiles on their faces. Shortly thereafter, Sean realized men were not exempt from these feelings and self-attacks! He soon incorporated male experiences into the development, and the technique
became universal.

This footage taken in 2001 was found in the archives of the New York Institute of Dance and Education where Sean McLeod serves as President.

Watching this reminds me why I could never leave the dance studio without a huge smile.
