Vanessa is an expert in the field of balance and fall prevention as well as being a professional dancer at the age of 82 with 50+ years of dance and fitness training.
Balance and Fall Prevention:
Vanessa was an adjunct professor within Santa Rosa Junior College’s Older Adults Program for 20 years, teaching over 8,000 classes in exercise for those older. She is the producer, creator and developer of Building Better Balance, a series of DVD balance classes designed to help those older age well through exercise. So many of the challenges we face can be either solved or significantly improved if we follow some simple guidelines. Vanessa continues to contribute to this field of knowledge through her web site and newsletters BALANCE NEWS where she frequently publishes articles describing real solutions to some of our most daunting problems. Recent titles include articles on pain, depression, obesity, spine health, stopping leg cramps, getting grounded, foot health for those older and how to fall if a fall is already in progress.
Vanessa also continues to give presentations on any of these subjects. Please contact her by phone or e-mail if your residence or senior facility would be interested in hosting this type of event.
Dance:
Vanessa also publishes 2 other associated newsletters especially for dancers: DANCER NEWS and GRACE NEWS, with the goal of training safely and effectively even if you are older.

Her teachers include Doris Breyer, Anna Halprin, Richard Haisma and Suhaila Salimpour. She is the producer of Vivid, a Northern California dance series seeking to give artists a venue for experimenting in their chosen field with each performance focusing on a particular challenge.
