+++ About the Liberato Method +++
The Liberato Method is a body re-education technique. It is the result of a research on dance and the multidimensionality of the body in motion, carried out by Xandy Liberato and his team (among them were Brenda & Anderson) during the years 2009-2020.
Its practice invites us to remember and reconnect with the freedom and purity of the body in motion, and at the same time it provides a body re-education system which offers us the possibility of recognizing our body with the aim to develop our abilities and enhance our body awareness and expression, having a positive impact on health.
The Method integrates a set of techniques and exercises theoretically and empirically based, as well as its own pedagogy which is totally adaptable and applicable to different fields, conditions, or life situations.
