 As a protégé of Martha Graham, French dancer Virginie Mécène fell in love with her technique. Graham created a codified language of movement that is still studied today, and has influenced countless generations of choreographers and dancers.

As a Martha Graham soloist and now a director of the Marta Graham school, Mécène  believes that all dancers should receive this training. When she teaches this technique to the dancers of NJDTE, she notices how well the dancers adapt to Graham movement, specifically movement from the pelvis while lying on the floor. Mécène also comments on the open minds and professionalism of NJDTE's dancers.
