“Jehrin navigates the intricate internal connections of the dancer’s body with exceptional clarity. In her classes, guided repetition of imagery and thoughtful floor and standing exercises lead her students to improved alignment and movement efficiency. Repetition of these activities lay down pathways that the students can later follow on their own. Through her teaching, Jehrin makes intelligible and physically attainable the nuances of classical technique that would would otherwise be mysterious and frustrating to a dancer in training. I have seen the process and outcomes firsthand in the two summers I have traveled to study at her summer intensive. Her students progress rapidly and avoid (and even heal from) injuries that are common elsewhere.”
