History
Arthur Bodie Dance Studio was established in France, where generations of people from all walks of life benefited from his unique methods. Bodie's fitness classes were featured in annual telethons. The corrective focus of his Anatomik jazz dance classes has enhanced the movement of experienced dancers and created performing dancers from students who arrived with only a dream and determination. Now located in New York City, it is the home of unique classes based on Arthur's detailed study of muscle/bone attachments.
