Discover the Self-Correcting Ballet Teaching System That Cuts Prep Time and Sparks Results Instantly
RPM Dance is the physics backed system that relies on revolutionary principles to turn blank stares into breakthrough moments without rewriting your whole curriculum.
Dear Fellow Dance Educator,
Imagine this: no more repeating yourself. No more blank stares. No more “again, but taller.”
Just real-time, self-powered corrections... from students who finally feel it in their bones.
By the end of this letter, you’ll see how you can slash weekly prep time to under two hours and ignite student-led improvement—sometimes in a single class.
My name is Amy Lowe, and I’ve been teaching ballet for over 30 years. And I used to be stuck in the same spiral you’re probably in now.
I was drowning in anatomy facts… certifications… cue lists… and still watching knees that wouldn’t straighten and shoulders that wouldn’t stay down.
You name it—I tried it. I even studied orthopedic surgery. I could name every bone and muscle in the body. But nothing helped me explain what my students were feeling—or not feeling.
Then, 30 years ago, everything changed.
I started training under Ruth Petrinovic. She introduced me to a set of 14 biomechanical principles that decode the physics of ballet and translate it into plain English.
That became my lens for everything.
Because once I had a system that explained not just what to fix but why it was happening… everything snapped into place.
What You’ve Been Looking for Isn’t More Info. It’s a Lens.
The truth is, you already care about teaching well. You’re not here because you need another dictionary or a flashy “certification.” You’ve probably skimmed more anatomy posts than you can count. You’ve bookmarked syllabi and collected cues.
But none of it clicks together.
You’re still stuck in prep hell every Sunday… wondering how to adapt this or that material to your students’ wildly different bodies. You’re still scrambling to make corrections land. You’re still not seeing consistent, safe progress.
What you need isn’t more content. You need a system.
One that gives you ready-to-teach material… backed by real science… that finally makes sense to your dancers.
That’s exactly why we created the RPM Teacher Training Course.
The System That Sharpens Your Eye and Speaks Your Students’ Language
I ran a studio for 25 years. I’m ABT certified. PBT certified. I’ve taught over 6,000 classes. And I can tell you—no method gave me what RPM has.
Here’s what happens when you slip on the RPM lens:
- Corrections land immediately—because they match the physical sensation in the dancer’s body.
- Lesson planning shrinks from hours to minutes—because the logic is already built in.
- You stop second-guessing what to say—because the principles point directly to the cause.
- Your students feel the difference—and start correcting themselves.
Think of it like twisting a camera lens into focus.
Suddenly, hips, spines, and ankles come into sharp clarity. You stop guessing. You start seeing.
RPM turns technical knowledge into action. Physics in. Plain English out.
And because the 14 principles are rooted in real, proven science, they work for every dancer—at every level.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve taken other teacher trainings. How is this different?
Most trainings focus on “what to teach.” RPM shows you why movements work, and how to cue them so students feel it in their bodies—not just mimic a shape. It’s the missing layer behind every method.
My students are all different ages and skill levels. Will this work for me?
That’s exactly what RPM was built for. These principles help you adjust for individual body types, ages, and abilities—while still maintaining a consistent technical standard across your program.
I don’t have a science background. Will I feel overwhelmed?
Nope. We’ve translated decades of kinesiology and anatomy into simple concepts and visual cues. You don’t need to know physics—you just need to know how to say “up to go down to go up.”
Can I apply this gradually or do I have to switch everything at once?
You can start with just one principle and immediately see results. Most teachers layer it in class by class—then start revamping lesson plans once they see how intuitive it becomes.
Is RPM a syllabus I have to follow?
No. RPM is a lens that complements any syllabus you use though we offer a curriculum and lesson plans that you can follow or adapt into your existing system.
How long do I have access to the course?
You get lifetime access—including all updates and future bonuses.
