Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://keepfit.org.uk/about-us:
The Keep Fit Association is a long-established body from 1956 and is dedicated to the provision of safe and effective exercise, movement and dance. KFA exercise is based on Rudolf Laban’s principles providing an holistic workout with functional fitness through creative choreography. Rudolf Laban’s ultimate aim was that movement was for all and that dance should give joy to people through moving together; an aim that the Keep Fit Association both embrace and promote in all that they do. In the early 1960s, the Keep Fit Association declared its training policy and has been offering classes for recreation, based on Laban’s analysis of movement, ever since. Movement and dance ideas developed through the use of Laban’s analysis are limitless. It does not presuppose one style of movement and cannot be totally encompassed by one person. By considering the body as an instrument, using pathways, rhythms, and creating relationships, we offer ourselves the opportunity to become a whole person and our teachers offer that opportunity to their class members. Rudolf Laban’s study of movement, to which he devoted his whole life, is essentially concerned with a person in relation to the world and the people around them.
