Pauline began her dance training in France and attended her professional training in ballet technique in Geneva, Switzerland. In 2002, she received a scholarship from the Foundation of Princess Grace de Monaco. Pauline danced with Le Grand Theatre de Limoges in 2003. Later on, she went to Mexico to perfect her knowledge in contemporary dance at Centro Nacional de Danza Contemporánea and became a ballet teacher at Centro ProArt in Santiago de Queretaro.
After being introduced to the Martha Graham Technique in la EscueLa Superior de Danza y Musica de Monterrey in the Summer of 2005, Pauline joined the Martha Graham Center in New York City under a full scholarship, in the Fall of 2006. She performed as a member of Graham II, and received her certificate of recognition as a teacher of the Martha Graham technique. At the Martha Graham Center she taught for the Pre-Teens Program and Young Artist Program, introducing the vocabulary of the technique. She also taught Graham technique classes at The MoveShop and the Talent Unlimited High School in NYC.
Pauline participated in the reconstruction of «Panorama» for the Spring/Summer Season 2010 of the Martha Graham Dance Company at the Joyce Theater in NYC, teaching for the Young Artist Program dancers, the Talent Unlimited High School dancers and the All-City dancers. She also taught Ballet at the New York Theatre Ballet and Park East Day school.
Pauline was the artistic director of Caliince Dance, a modern dance company founded in the Fall of 2009 in New York City that performed to many places in the USA but also France and Italy. In 2011, At Planet Connections Theater Festivity, she received the award for Outstanding Choreography while working in collaboration with The MoveShop. In 2014, she had the honor to be the artist in residence at Lycée Français New York. Pauline occasionally teaches Graham technique, Ballet and GYROKINESIS® at Open Door Studios and at Caroline Calouche and Co. in Charlotte and is delighted to be a member of Movement Migration under the direction of Kim Jones.
Pauline was suffering from a lumbar stress fracture since the age of 16 and had to deal with low back pain for many years. Discovering the GYROTONIC® Method in 2010 changed her life. The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® holistic approach to movement gave her better strength, stability and more freedom of movement. The concepts of contrast and narrowing to stabilize the trunk and balance the body helped her heal and her pain eventually went away. Pauline has been a licensed instructor in the Method for more than 12 years and is still enjoying the endless discovery of possibilities in her body, especially during pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Being a GYROTONIC® & GYROKINESIS® licensed trainer gives Pauline the opportunity to help her clients to have a better understanding of their own body and feel the many benefits that the Method offers.
ABOUT
Breanne Horne
Breanne Horne is a South Carolina native and BFA recipient of the dance program at UNC School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. As a Carolina Girl, the connection to nature is important to her everyday approach to healing and wellness. This led her to the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® and methods beyond traditional PT. She has studied with a variety of Master Trainers in order to grasp different perspectives of the work, as well as approaches to client care. Her desire to gain the most thorough understanding of the work has led her on an educational quest towards becoming a Pre-Trainer. The benefits of practicing and learning from a life-long-learner come from their commitment to flexibility of understanding, and knowing first hand how challenging learning can be; she is gentle and thorough in developing the training, and is committed to staying up to par with the latest information. When not in the studio she works throughout her community of Gastonia, NC to make it a cleaner and healthier place to live. She loves running and biking in the mountains and her pup family, who are the Farm mascots!

ABOUT
Shanice Rollins
As a movement teacher with a deep love for helping others move with freedom and joy, my mission is to guide you toward a stronger, more connected relationship with your body. With a rich background in dance, I’ve always been fascinated by how the body moves and expresses itself. This passion led me to pursue a Personal Training certification, giving me the tools to help others build strength and resilience in a balanced way.
Along the way, I discovered the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis methods, which opened up a whole new world of movement possibilities. These systems blend fluidity and strength, encouraging your body to move in natural, circular patterns that promote both flexibility and power. I’m also trained in Pilates and working towards full certification, combining its precision with my other techniques to create well-rounded movement sessions.
