AFCMD

Functional analysis of the dancing body

AFCMD (Functional analysis of the dancing body) is a theoretical and practical discipline that enhances awareness of dance gestures and develops their observation and analysis. Beyond dance, AFCMD fosters a deeper understanding of other artistic practices such as circus arts, music, and more.

This ever-evolving discipline incorporates insights from different somatic education approaches and research in child development. Its aim is to shed light on tacit body knowledge and to support the learning process.

Grounded in various perspectives on posture and core scientific principles including functional anatomy, neurophysiology, and biomechanics, AFCMD provides the essential insights into the comprehension of both technical and expressive movement, with a focus on preventing injuries in moving bodies.
