The Benesh Institute is an organization dedicated to the study and practice of Benesh Movement Notation, a system developed for recording and analyzing dance movements. Founded by Rudolf Benesh and his wife, Joan Benesh, the institute aims to promote the understanding of movement in various forms, including ballet and contemporary dance. The institute offers training programs, workshops, and resources for dancers, choreographers, and educators interested in learning this notation system. By providing tools for documenting and preserving dance, the Benesh Institute plays a crucial role in the evolution of dance education and research.
