Integrated Movement Studies is an Institution dedicated to the study of human movement.
Integrated Movement Studies has offered the prestigious Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analyst (CLMA) certification program for generations, producing hundreds of experts in the interdisciplinary field of human movement.
In addition to our certification program, IMS offers immersion workshops and continued education classes throughout the year.
Movement is omnipresent. An understanding of how movement communicates meaning has direct applications in many fields.
Artists, therapists, non-verbal communication researchers, athletes, anthropologists, physical therapists, and body workers are just some of the professionals who find value in IMS’s Laban/Bartenieff educational opportunities.
Our faculty of internationally recognized movement educators have contributed greatly to the evolution of the Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis material, and have helped establish it as one of the most comprehensive systems of movement description and understanding available today.
