Susan Hefner changed my whole life. I can’t imagine how I would move around in the world now, at 65, if I hadn’t spent the last 15 years learning how to do it in the company of this generous and brilliant creature. And lest this sound too solemn, let me add we laughed a lot, and played, and danced. The quality of her full attention is a rare thing, and I feel very lucky to have such a teacher enriching my life.

Anatomy and Kinesiology

Susan teaches anatomy and kinesiology of the muscular-skeletal system. An active, experiential approach using movement, muscle testing in partners, drawing, and discussion enlivens the lecture material. Besides college-level courses, she also designs and teaches shorter workshops on a variety of specific anatomy topics for dancers, educators and movement professionals.
