Training in the Ajkun Methodology
Ballet pedagogy has not evolved at the same rate as changes in the other art forms or athletic training and the Ajkun Methodology addresses the needs for evolution by incorporating biomechanics efficiency, departing from ballet myths, and concentrating on the individual wellbeing of the dancer. Dancers from 135 countries have traveled to benefit from Chiara Ajkun's teaching during the New York Summer Program, to include notable professionals from prominent ballet companies.
