M-Intensive University is delighted to announce our second CPD (Continuing Professional Development) training course for dance teachers and dancers passionate about Martha Graham's and Lester Horton's dance techniques. This course segment will provide you with an in-depth understanding of the DNA of Graham and Horton Techniques, building on the success of our first online CPD training.
Over five days, you will enjoy daily masterclasses conducted by international dance experts and cultural ambassadors in their fields. You'll embark on a journey of discovery, exploring how traditional forms of expression have influenced the Graham and Horton methods and contributed to creating essential shapes used in modern dance techniques.
By understanding and highlighting these influences, we can better preserve and acknowledge these ancestral dances for their spiritual and cultural heritage. From the positions of the feet to the laterals, pelvic action, spirals, and arm gestures, you'll delve into the roots of the methods you love, taking your teaching practice to another level.
Our online CPD is designed to provide instructors and dance practitioners with authentic knowledge of the Graham and Horton Techniques. The daily lessons and essential Horton and Graham movement studies will be tailored to the event and led by our MIU experts.
This summer, you can experience this unique dance course from anywhere in the world with our live CPD Masterclass on Zoom and replays available.
After completing the online training course, a CPD certificate will be provided.

Olivia Nidaud is a French professional dancer, model and Horton Technique specialist originally from Martinique Island and based in Paris.
She started classical ballet at six years old in Martinique and has fallen in love with dance ever since.
Olivia graduated from The Institut de Formation Rick Odums in Paris, where she discovered the Horton Technique with Magalie Verin, an Ailey School graduate and founder of Corpo M' Company. She then continued her professional training at the prestigious Ailey School in New York City in the Certificate Program focusing on the Horton Technique, amongst other dance styles such as classical ballet, Graham Technique, jazz and contemporary.
Olivia studied the Horton Technique in-depth for many years with world-acclaimed teachers such as Milton Myers, Elizabeth Roxas-Dobrish, Ana Marie Forsythe, Freddie Moore, Lakey Evans-Peña, Freddie Moore and more.
Olivia understudied Ailey's works, such as Revelations (1960); she also collaborated with award-winning choreographer Darrell Grand Moultrie.
Enriched by her experiences in NYC, she travelled the world, performed in many dance productions, and toured Bangkok with the Remue Menage company. Olivia is also a freelance artist and performed in musicals, music videos, films and tv shows in Martinique and Paris.
Alvin Ailey's legacy and universal message of tolerance and inclusivity are at the core of Olivia's methods of teaching the Horton Technique. Her solid experience makes her class unique, emphasising strength, rhythmicity and versatility, demonstrating the limitless possibilities of the technique.
We are thrilled to welcome Olivia again to MIU, and we cannot wait to share her refreshing approach to the Horton Technique with you all at MIU.
