Mrs. Autere knows the Russian style (Vaganova), the Royal Ballet and the Bournonville School of teaching. In modern dance she is mainly influenced by M. Graham and José Limon. Her work has developed into a personal method of teaching named BalletBodyLogic, she takes the body’s own logic into account and advocates that technique is mechanical and depends on the deeper lying muscles (red muscle fibers), as well as the connective tissues’ internal movements.
