In another time and place Elaine would be a temple dancer but in this world
she is a massage therapist, movement teacher, dancer, choreographer and
authorized Continuum Movement teacher. Discovering Continuum was like
finding her true home, where the art and science of movement merge, excite
and inform each other. Elaine offers weekly and weekend workshops in her
studio, which is a haven for fellow somatic explorers.

Elaine’s primary interest is in the alchemy of movement; how movement,
breath and sound inform us and alter us internally and how the internal
changes permeate and manifest in the outer world. The transforming effects
of movement have always guided her and led to the study of many forms of
dance, the creation of original dance theater productions and the study of
various movement and bodywork practices.

Elaine has an undergraduate degree in psychology (1977), a M.A. from
Columbia University in dance (1982), and was certified by the Muscular
Therapy Institute (1988). Influential teachers include Irene Dowd (anatomy),
Robert Ellis Dunn (choreography), Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen (Body-Mind
Centering), Susan Harper (Continuum Montage), and Emilie Conrad (Continuum
Movement). Her clients and students as well as health challenges have also
served as primary teachers.
