MMM classes begin with a series of simple exercises and movements, set to music, including a breathing pattern, which will start to train the body in balance, coordination, suppleness and strength. The exercises develop through short sequences that progress into longer pieces of work, and in each stage of development, dance and exercise build upon the previous level. Margaret wanted people to dance for health and pleasure, but she realised the need for a system through which dancers progressed, similar to dance grades – she called them ‘Colours’.
What Is MMM
Margaret Morris Movement (MMM) is a unique system of exercise, dance and movement training which achieves a perfect balance between set exercises and free movement expression. The exercises are aimed at increasing mobility in every part of the body, as well as developing suppleness, strength and stamina – according to the individual level of performance. Each exercise is performed to specially selected music and is a balanced phrase of movement with one or more physiological aims – good to look at and satisfying to perform.
